PROJECT SUMMARY: This project, which responds to NSF Program Solicitation 07-566 (Alliances for Broadening Participation in STEM?LSAMP program element 9133), is a five-year continuation of the California State University-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP) as a Senior-level Alliance. Initiated in 1994, CSU-LSAMP is a statewide program dedicated to broadening participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The current Senior-level CSU-LSAMP includes 22 of the 23 campuses of the California State University (CSU). The only CSU campus that is not included is The California Maritime Academy, which is a unique and specialized campus of the CSU. Hence, this project is truly a comprehensive effort of the CSU, the largest system of public higher education in the world, located in the largest and most diverse State in the Nation.Intellectual Merit: As a Senior-level LSAMP project, CSU-LSAMP aims to: (1) continue to enhance student performance, success, and retention in STEM disciplines; as well as maintain or increase baccalaureate degree production, (2) facilitate the transition of community college students in their first year of transfer to a CSU campus through activities that improve the retention rates of transfer students; (3) continue to enhance student interest in research and careers in STEM, as well as enhance the global awareness of CSU-LSAMP students. (4) increase the number of students who are admitted to graduate programs and obtain doctoral degrees in STEM, and (5) document, disseminate, and replicate undergraduate intervention models that increase access to, and success in, STEM baccalaureate degree programs and facilitate undergraduate admissions to STEM graduate programs.The types of activities that are offered to support each objective have consistently been shown to facilitate retention and progression of URM students in STEM, and represent a set of well-established ?best practices?. Notably, the project continues to include the top five LSAMP hallmark activities, which were identified in the Urban Institute?s national study of LSAMP (i.e., research experiences, mentoring, internships, scholarships/ stipends and academic support/tutoring). In addition, in light of the Urban Institute?s finding that LSAMP participants who participated in research were more likely to pursue and complete graduate degrees, this project includes a substantial emphasis on engaging students in research activities. The project also includes a variety of activities designed to opportunities to enhance student qualifications for graduate programs (e.g., GRE preparation, teaching experiences; research presentations, and internships), and collaborates with other student support programs on participating campuses (e.g., McNair and NIH-NIGMS Bridges to the Future programs) and with programs at Ph.D. granting institutions (e.g., AGEP) that share the goal of broadening participation in STEM.Broader Impacts: CSU-LSAMP has contributed substantially to broadening participation of underrepresented minority (URM) groups in STEM disciplines. Over the 14 year history of past CSU-LSAMP projects, the campuses participating in those projects awarded a total of 109,115 STEM baccalaureate degrees. Of these degrees, 18,513 STEM degrees were awarded to students who self declared as members of URM groups, 77,105 STEM degrees were awarded to students who self-declared as not being members of URM groups, and 13,497 STEM degrees were awarded to students who declined to provide race/ethnicity data. Although CSU-LSAMP does not limit participation to URM students or provide URM students preference in admission, the project anticipates that 85-90% of the 1600-2000 STEM students admitted to the project each year will be URM students. CSU-LSAMP also anticipates that, over the course of the project period, URM STEM baccalaureate degree production by the 22 CSU campuses in the Senior-level Alliance will increase from the current year base-line of 1,654 to at least 2,000/year and that the number of URM CSU-LSAMP participants who progress to graduate programs will increase from an estimated base-line of 95/year to 200/year by the end of the project period.

项目摘要：该项目对NSF计划的征集响应07-566（扩大参与STEM的联盟？ LSAMP）作为高级联盟。 CSU-LSAMP于1994年启动，是一项全州计划，致力于扩大参与科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科。目前的高级CSU-LSAMP包括加利福尼亚州立大学（CSU）的23个校园中的22个。不包括的CSU校园是加利福尼亚海事学院，这是CSU的独特而专业的校园。因此，该项目确实是世界上最大的公共高等教育系统CSU的全面努力，位于全国最大，最多样化的州。目的是：（1）继续提高学生在STEM学科中的绩效，成功和保留； （2）通过提高转学学生的保留率的活动，以及他们在转移到CSU校园的第一年，促进社区大学生的过渡； （3）继续增强学生对STEM研究和职业的兴趣，并提高CSU-LSAMP学生的全球认识。 （4）增加被录取研究生课程并获得STEM博士学位的学生人数，（5）文档，传播和复制本科生干预模型，以增加获得STEM学士学位的访问和成功的学位，并促进本科生。 STEM研究生课程的入学。提供支持每个目标的活动的类型已被证明，以促进URM学生在STEM中的保留和进步，并代表了一组良好的？最佳实践？值得注意的是，该项目继续包括在城市学院的LSAMP研究中确定的前五名LSAMP Hallmark活动（即研究经验，指导，实习，奖学金/津贴和学术支持/辅导）。此外，鉴于城市学院的发现，参加研究的LSAMP参与者更有可能追求和完成研究生学位，因此该项目包括大幅度强调吸引学生从事研究活动。该项目还包括各种活动，旨在提高研究生课程的学生资格（例如，GRE准备，教学经验，研究演示和实习），并与其他学生支持计划合作（例如McNair和NIHIH和NIHIH， - 未来计划的通知桥）和博士学位的计划。授予具有扩大参与STEM的目标的机构（例如AgeP）。Broader的影响：CSU-LSAMP为扩大代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）群体的参与做出了重大贡献。在过去的CSU-LSAMP项目的14年历史中，参加这些项目的校园总共获得了109,115个STEM学士学位。在这些学位中，有18,513个茎学位被授予自称为URM群体成员的学生，授予了77,105个STEM学位，授予自称不作为URM组成员的学生，并授予13,497个STEM学位的学生，而拒绝授予了13,497个STEM学位。提供种族/种族数据。尽管CSU-LSAMP并不限制参加URM学生的参与或为URM学生提供入学偏好，但该项目预计每年接受该项目的1600-2000名STEM学生中有85-90％是URM学生。 CSU-LSAMP还预计，在整个项目期间，高级联盟中22个CSU校园的URM STEM Babcalaureate学位生产将从当年的1,654年级基础线上增加到至少2,000/年，而这将增加在项目期结束时，进入研究生课程的URM CSU-LSAMP参与者的数量将从估计的95/年估计基线增加到200/年。
