Colorado State University (CSU), the lead institution, in collaboration with fourteen institutionalpartners constitutes the CO-AMP consortium. The Consortium is proposing a strategic andcomprehensive effort to address the following goals in connection with underrepresented minorities,women of color, and persons with disabilities successfully completing baccalaureate degrees in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM):1) Continue to increase bachelor degree completion in STEM disciplines;2) Improve retention and transfer rates from 2-year to 4-year institutions;3) Enhance partnerships with Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) in Colorado;4) Strengthen graduate school preparation;5) Promote international research experiences to enhance global diversity and understanding.Since its inception, efforts of the CO-AMP Consortium have extended from the pre-freshmenlevel to enrollment in graduate school programs. The Consortium has been a major driving force atpartner institutions to encourage and motivate students to excel and graduate with a bachelor?s. degree inSTEM fields. The enrollment and visibility of diverse students has also increased, demonstrated by therecent 84% increase in LS CO-AMP enrollment. A significant level of support, in addition to that fromthe NSF, has been provided by central administrations, Departments and Colleges of the Consortium,and industry partners. Most importantly, the Consortium faculty and staff have provided individualizedstudent support without which the activities would not have been as successful.Most, if not all, of the proposed initiatives in goals 1 through 5 have been and will continue to beinstitutionalized at partner institutions. Early integration of minority students into college life must start inthe admissions office with early faculty advising and mentoring linked to the process. Proposed math skillbuilding and science course assistance will be continued and further expanded. Student academicadvancement will also be enhanced by participation in NAPIRE and other international researchexperiences, contributing to global diversity and understanding. In addition, further establishment ofprofessional societies at 2-year and 4-year colleges is critical to increasing science identity andintegration into the professional community. This collaboration of national resources, resulting from thesediverse programs, is essential to assure benefits to underrepresented minorities, women of color, andperson with disabilities; and will be sustained as an essential structure continuing after funding from theNSF is no longer available.Intellectual MeritInnovative programs based on the Tinto Model and research results from the Higher EducationResearch Institute (HERI) will target improved academic and social integration of students into college lifeand promote students? self-identity as scientists. CO-AMP will integrate math assistance and curriculabetween 2-year and 4-year institutions. Pipelines between high school, 2-year/4-year colleges, andgraduate school will be integrated by faculty mentoring into the admissions process, establishingprofessional societies on campuses, and building bridges through innovative summer workshops,research at 2-year and 4-year campuses, and international research experiences. Evaluation efforts willprovide evidence-based methodologies for improving student retention. CO-AMP has a history of qualified staff, as well as the facilities, networks, and partnerships in place to focus onbuilding a stronger infrastructure that will continue to build capacity and compatibility in the Consortium.Broader ImpactsThe programs and activities CO-AMP will undertake cover the core areas of recruitment andretention, including training of faculty, promotion of proven programs, support from industry involvement,as well as conducting research to determine best practice in preparing students for higher levels of mathand science. CO-AMP is partnered with all of the Hispanic Serving Institutions in Colorado and FortLewis (one of only three Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Colleges in the US) making it optimallypositioned to serve the greatest number of Hispanic and Native American students. Results of researchconducted will be presented at conferences and published to further knowledge in this important area ofdiversity education. The results will reduce educational disparities and improve scientific knowledge inminority/tribal communities, as trained minority scientists act as role models and educators.

领导机构科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）与十四家机构合作构成了共同的联盟。该财团正在提出一项战略和富有理解的努力，以解决与代表性不足的少数民族，有色妇女以及残疾人成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学士学位有关的目标： STEM学科的学位完成； 2）提高保留率和转移率从2年到4年的机构； 3）加强科罗拉多州西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）的合作伙伴关系； 4）加强研究生院的准备； 5）促进国际研究经验为了增强全球多样性和理解。从其成立之后，共同协会的努力已从前熟悉的前期延伸到研究生院课程的入学。该财团一直是ATPARTNER机构的主要驱动力，以鼓励和激励学生以单身汉的身份脱颖而出和毕业。学位Instem字段。 LS Co-Amp入学率增加了84％的增加，不同学生的入学率和知名度也增加了。除NSF外，还由中央政府，财团和行业合作伙伴提供了很大的支持。最重要的是，财团的教职员工提供了个性化的支持，否则这些活动将不会那么成功。目标1至5中的拟议计划中的大多数（即使不是全部）已经并且将继续在合作伙伴机构中被机构化。早期将少数族裔学生纳入大学生活必须从招生办公室开始，并在早期的教职员工咨询和指导中与该过程有关。拟议的数学技能和科学课程援助将继续并进一步扩展。参与纳皮尔和其他国际研究经验，还将增强学生的学术范围，从而有助于全球多样性和理解。此外，在2年和4年的大学中进一步建立了专业社会对于将科学的身份和整合性提高到专业社区至关重要。由这些计划的计划产生的国家资源的这种合作对于确保代表性不足的少数群体，有色妇女和残疾人的福利至关重要；并将在不再获得ThensF资金后继续作为基本结构。智能MERITINNOVATIDED计划基于TINTO模型和高等教育研究所（HERI）的研究成果将针对改善学生的学术和社会融合，使学生在大学生活中促进学生的学术和社会融合。学生？作为科学家的自我认同。共同AMP将在2年和4年的机构之间整合数学援助和课程。高中，2年/4年的大学，两年学院和学生学校之间的管道将通过教职员工指导纳入招生过程，在校园内建立专业社会，并通过创新的夏季研讨会建造桥梁，在2年和4年校园进行研究和国际研究经验。评估工作将提供基于证据的方法来改善学生保留的方法。 Co-Amp拥有合格的员工的历史，以及设施，网络和合作伙伴关系，以集中精力建立更强大的基础设施，该基础设施将继续在财团中建立能力和兼容性。Boader影响计划和活动的计划和活动CO-AMP将进行。涵盖招聘和撤退的核心领域，包括培训教职员工，促进良好的计划，行业参与的支持以及进行研究，以确定为学生提供更高水平的Mathand Science做好准备的最佳实践。 Co-Amp与科罗拉多州的所有西班牙裔服务机构和Fortlewis（美国仅有的三个美国原住民服务的非部落学院之一）合作，使其最适合为西班牙裔和美国原住民学生提供最大数量。研究结果的结果将在会议上提出，并在这一重要领域的教育领域发表。由于训练有素的少数族裔科学家充当榜样和教育者，结果将减少教育差异，并改善科学知识非凡/部落社区。
