The University System of Maryland Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (USM-LSAMP) is a senior alliance (10 or more years of NSF LSAMP funding) consisting of three institutions. UMBC is the lead institution in partnership with the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES.) The distinct characteristics of each institution provide uniquely different environments for students; together, these institutions provide a variety of options for underrepresented minority (URM) students in majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields to choose a campus where their academic, as well as their psychosocial needs are likely to be met, and they can thrive. The primary goal of the USM LSAMP is to broaden participation in the STEM disciplines by groups that historically have been underrepresented in STEM. The following objectives support the 5-year goal of the project: - To continue the established momentum in increasing the retention and graduation rates of URM STEM undergraduates; - To increase the five-year and six-year graduation rates of URM and other students in STEM fields; - To increase the number of URM STEM students who go on to graduate programs in STEM fields; - To enhance partnerships with community colleges to facilitate smooth transitions and subsequent academic success for URM STEM and other students transferring to LSAMP institutions; - To promote and encourage international education, research, and service experiences for increasing numbers of URM STEM students; and - To continue efforts to institutionalize successful components of the USM LSAMP. These objectives will be achieved through the activities of the nine well-developed Alliance components that are based on best practices in the areas of increasing the participation, retention, academic performance, graduation rates, and preparation for success in graduate programs of URM students in STEM fields, and will be supported by NSF and other funding sources. The nine components are: (1) summer bridge programs; (2) academic year research and grduate school preparation; (3) formal structure for collaborations with the broader community in areas of broadening participation in STEM; (4) curriculum review and revision; (5) community college transfer to 4-year STEM programs; (6)international education, research and service; (7) community of scholars social networking; (8) student tracking into the STEM workforce; and,(8) continued institutionalization and dissemination of best practices in attracting and retaining students in STEM disciplines.The project includes a rigorous evaluation plan that will provide both formative and summative data to be used for continuous program improvement. The current state of the global economy has increased the need to support more students through completion of graduate programs so they will be prepared to join efforts to resolve many short-term and long-term problems contributing to our economic crisis (e.g., sources and use of energy and information technology.) The USM LSAMP institutions have built a portion of their reputations on being able to recognize that URM students have been an untapped STEM resource for the U.S. Putting that recognition into action, the USM LSAMP has cultivated URM STEM students and found that their sharp intellectual abilities, honed leadership skills, and polished professional acumen make these students very valuable assets to the science and engineering labor force. The outcomes of the USM LSAMP will be reported at the EHR/HRD Joint Annual Meeting and disseminated via the alliance websites. In addition, the management team will seek opportunities to present outcomes to the broader academic community through publications and presentations at professional meetings.

马里兰州路易斯·斯托克斯大学的少数群体参与联盟（USM-LSAMP）是由三个机构组成的高级联盟（NSF LSAMP资助10年或更长时间）。 UMBC是与马里兰大学，大学公园（UMCP）和马里兰州东海岸大学（UMES。）合作的主要机构（UMES。）每个机构的独特特征为学生提供了独特的不同环境；这些机构共同为科学，技术，工程和数学专业的主修专业的代表性少数群体（URM）提供了多种选择，以选择一个校园，在这些校园中，他们的学术和心理社会需求很可能可以得到满足，他们可以壮成长。 USM LSAMP的主​​要目标是扩大历史上茎中代表性不足的群体的参与。 以下目标支持该项目的5年目标： - 在提高URM STEM本科生的保留率和毕业率以继续既定动力； - 提高URM和其他学生在STEM领域的五年和六年毕业率； - 增加继续在STEM领域研究生课程的URM STEM学生的数量； - 加强与社区大学的伙伴关系，以促进URM STEM和其他转移到LSAMP机构的学生的平稳过渡和随后的学术成功； - 促进和鼓励越来越多的URM STEM学生的国际教育，研究和服务经验； - 继续努力使USM LSAMP的成功组成部分制度化。这些目标将通过九个发达的联盟组成部分的活动实现字段，并将得到NSF和其他资金来源的支持。九个组件是：（1）夏季桥梁计划； （2）学年的研究和学校准备； （3）与更广泛的社区合作的正式结构，以扩大参与STEM的领域； （4）课程审查和修订； （5）社区大学转移到4年的STEM计划； （6）国际教育，研究和服务； （7）学者社会网络社区； （8）学生跟踪STEM劳动力； （8）在吸引和留住STEM学科中的学生时，继续制度化和传播最佳实践。该项目包括一项严格的评估计划，该计划将提供形成性和总结性数据，用于持续计划改进。当前的全球经济状况增加了通过完成研究生课程来支持更多学生的需求能源和信息技术。）USM LSAMP机构已经建立了一部分声誉，因为能够认识到URM学生是美国未开发的茎资源发现他们敏锐的智力能力，磨练的领导能力和精明的专业敏锐度使这些学生非常有价值的科学和工程劳动力。 USM LSAMP的结果将在EHR/HRD联合年度会议上进行报告，并通过联盟网站传播。 此外，管理团队将寻求机会通过专业会议上的出版物和演讲向更广泛的学术界提出成果。
