The Garden State LSAMP (GS-LSAMP) will build upon the findings and successes realized in the Phase I implementation. GS-LSAMP achieved its 5-year goal in Phase I of doubling the number of STEM Baccalaureate degrees earned by students historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines in just four years by developing a transformative system of recruitment and retention based primarily upon innovative use of online education resources, research experiences, and best practices. In Phase II, the transformative system of practices will be enhanced by focusing on two critical transition points for students: (1) community college to a four-year institution in STEM and (2) STEM baccalaureate program to graduate school in STEM. The overall goal is to enhance pathways for students in STEM disciplines to seamlessly transition through a baccalaureate program and into STEM graduate programs or STEM careers. Focusing on these two critical transition points will allow GS-LSAMP to continue to be successful in producing students who are well-prepared and well-qualified for admission into STEM graduate programs and the STEM workforce, thereby improving the diversity of the workforce and enhancing the nation's global competitiveness.For the first transition point, effective practices of GS-LSAMP will be expanded into a consortium of five nearby community colleges all of which are Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and primary feeders to the alliance. A new designation has been developed making them Associate Members of the Garden State LSAMP. Associate membership will aid the community colleges in instituting the practices that made the Garden State LSAMP successful. Through a series of interactions and sharing of resources, a new and seamless transition model from community colleges to four-year institutions will be developed for students historically underrepresented in STEM. For the second transition point, GS-LSAMP will encourage and facilitate the transition of LSAMP scholars into graduate school and research careers by integrating research and international experiences into the undergraduate academic program. The goal is to greatly increase the percent of graduating LSAMP scholars who attend graduate school and consider pursuing careers that involve research. International experiences will be offered by pooling all of the opportunities from across the alliance to find the best fit for individual student needs. GS-LSAMP's structured program, which will "guide scholars along the entire path from first interest in a STEM discipline all the way to a career", will build knowledge about how to develop a strong regional alliance and can become a model for other alliances (consortia of institutions) to replicate for the success of a diverse and talented group of students.

花园州 LSAMP (GS-LSAMP) 将建立在第一阶段实施中的发现和成功的基础上。 GS-LSAMP 通过开发主要基于在线教育资源的创新使用的变革性招聘和保留系统，在第一阶段实现了其 5 年目标，即在短短四年内将历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的学生获得的 STEM 学士学位数量增加一倍、研究经验和最佳实践。在第二阶段，将通过关注学生的两个关键过渡点来加强变革性的实践体系：(1) 社区学院到 STEM 四年制院校；(2) STEM 学士学位课程到 STEM 研究生院。总体目标是加强 STEM 学科学生从学士学位课程无缝过渡到 STEM 研究生课程或 STEM 职业的途径。关注这两个关键的转变点将使 GS-LSAMP 能够继续成功地培养出为进入 STEM 研究生课程和 STEM 劳动力做好充分准备和合格的学生，从而改善劳动力的多样性并增强劳动力的多样性。作为第一个过渡点，GS-LSAMP 的有效实践将扩展到由附近五所社区学院组成的联盟，所有这些社区学院都是西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI) 和联盟的主要供给者。一个新的称号已被制定，使他们成为花园州 LSAMP 的准会员。准会员资格将帮助社区学院实施使花园州 LSAMP 取得成功的实践。通过一系列的互动和资源共享，将为历史上在 STEM 领域代表性不足的学生开发一种从社区学院到四年制院校的新的无缝过渡模式。对于第二个过渡点，GS-LSAMP 将通过将研究和国际经验融入本科学术课程，鼓励和促进 LSAMP 学者向研究生院和研究职业的过渡。目标是大幅提高 LSAMP 毕业生进入研究生院并考虑从事研究相关职业的比例。将通过汇集整个联盟的所有机会来提供国际经验，以找到最适合个别学生需求的机会。 GS-LSAMP 的结构化计划将“引导学者沿着从最初对 STEM 学科的兴趣一直到职业生涯的整个道路”，将建立有关如何发展强大的区域联盟的知识，并可以成为其他联盟的典范（机构联盟），以复制多元化和才华横溢的学生群体的成功。
