项目摘要

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in their efforts to significantly increase the numbers of students matriculating into and successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines in order to diversify the STEM workforce. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming undergraduate STEM education through innovative, evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies, and relevant educational experiences in support of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. These strategies facilitate the production of well-prepared students highly-qualified and motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM.The need for cultivating STEM talent has been well established. For the United States (U.S.) to remain globally competitive, it is vital that it taps into the talent of all its citizens and provides exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. American students from diverse ethnic groups are underrepresented in STEM fields, and represent an untapped resource for the STEM workforce in the U.S. The University System of Maryland (USM) LSAMP, which began in 1995, will use STEM training as a conduit for mutual benefit of U.S. citizens: a program that at a basic level makes tomorrow better than today for as many students as possible, and a program that facilitates the conscious development of large numbers of underrepresented students with STEM skills who will contribute to America's innovation and competitiveness. The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), lead institution of the USM LSAMP, in partnership with long-time alliance members the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), seeks to expand the alliance by adding new Associate Members from Towson University and Frostburg University, and Community College Collaborators from the STEM tracks of Prince George's Community College, Anne Arundel Community College, and the Community College of Baltimore County. The USM LSAMP will continue to build foundations for cultivating and mentoring the next generation of leaders through four pillars of STEM: (1) STEM Identity, (2) Sense of Community, (3) Strength-based Approaches, and (4) Institutional Culture Shift. The four pillars will be operationalized via four programmatic focus areas that are (1) Participation, (2) Performance, (3) Preparation, and (4) Presentation. Participation consists of a book-ended support structure. On the front end, bridge programming will be utilized for both incoming freshmen and community college transfer students. On the back end, preparation for graduate school will be integrated into the undergraduate experience to pave the way for STEM graduate degrees. Performance will focus on bolstering students' math performance. In addition to tutorial support throughout the year, USM LSAMP students will also have the opportunity to participate in the USM Winter Mathematics Institute. Preparation will emphasize undergraduate research as a pathway to the Ph.D. USM LSAMP students will have opportunities to conduct research during the academic year on each of the USM LSAMP campuses. The alliance will use presentation as a means to foster both professional and leadership development. Participants will have opportunities to present their research domestically and internationally. The leadership of USM LSAMP who are STEM professionals endeavor to change lives, families, and society by helping the next generation of STEM leaders pursue the path of STEM excellence. The knowledge-generating research study, entitled ?Invoking STEM Identity through Purpose-Driven Research Preparation and Sense of Community?, will test a theory-driven model that positions racial/ethnic climate, science self-efficacy, sense of belonging, academic/social integration, and science identity as mediators to explain pathways to persistence and success in STEM. The model will be examined using both quantitative and qualitative data for the USM LSAMP program as a whole as well as for each program component. Whether the pathways differ by ethnicity, gender, and transfer status will also be explored.

路易斯·斯托克·斯托克（Louis Stoks）参加少数群体参与（LSAMP）计划，协助大学努力大大增加了在科学，技术，工程，工程和数学（STEM）学科中入学并成功完成高质量学位课程的学生人数，以使STEM劳动多样化。特别强调通过创新的，基于循证的招聘和保留策略来转变本科STEM教育，以及相关的教育经验，以支持STEM学科的种族和族裔群体，以支持种族和族裔群体的人数不足：非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，美洲印第安人，美国印第安人，阿拉斯加国家，夏威夷原住民，夏威夷原住民和Pacific Pacific Inlanders。这些策略促进了精心准备的学生的资格资格和动力，从而从事STEM的研究生教育或职业。培养STEM人才的需求已得到充分确立。对于美国（美国）保持全球竞争力，至关重要的是，它可以利用其所有公民的才华，并在基于知识经济的STEM地区提供非凡的教育准备。来自不同族裔群体的美国学生在STEM领域的人数不足，并且代表了美国的STEM劳动力的尚未开发的资源，马里兰州大学系统（USM）LSAMP始于1995年，该系统始于1995年，它将使用STEM培训作为对美国公民的共同利益的渠道：在基本上比今天的学生更加有意识地发展的计划，并且在众多计划中，该计划是一项有意义的学生，并且有明天的学生有意义地发展，并且有明天的学生，并且有明天的学生，并且有什么能力的人，并且有什么能力的人，并且有什么能力的人，并且有什么能力的人，并且有什么能力的人，并且有什么能力的人，并且有什么能力的人，并且是一项有意义的人，并且是一项有意义的人，并且是一项有意义的人，并且是一项有意义的学生，并且是一项计划。将有助于美国的创新和竞争力。马里兰州大学巴尔的摩县大学（UMBC），USM LSAMP领导机构，与长期联盟成员合作，马里兰州大学公园（UMCP）和马里兰东部海岸大学（UMES）（UMES）试图通过添加托沃森大学和弗罗斯特堡大学的新学院的新学院，并寻求扩大联盟，并添加联盟。和巴尔的摩县社区学院。 USM LSAMP将继续通过四个STEM支柱来培养和指导下一代领导者的基础：（1）STEM身份，（2）社区意识，（3）基于力量的方法，以及（4）机构文化的转变。这四个支柱将通过（1）参与，（2）性能，（3）准备和（4）演示的四个程序焦点区域进行操作。参与包括书本的支持结构。在前端，桥梁编程将用于新生和社区大学转学学生。在后端，研究生院的准备工作将融入本科经验，为STEM研究生学位铺平道路。表现将着重于加强学生的数学表现。除了全年的教程支持外，USM LSAMP学生还将有机会参加USM冬季数学研究所。准备工作将强调本科研究是通往博士学位的途径。 USM LSAMP学生将有机会在每个USM LSAMP校园的学年进行研究。该联盟将使用演讲作为培养专业和领导力发展的手段。参与者将有机会在国内和国际上介绍他们的研究。 USM LSAMP的领导者是STEM专业人员，努力通过帮助下一代STEM领导者追求STEM卓越的道路来改变生活，家庭和社会。知识生成研究的研究，题为“通过目的驱动的研究准备和社区意识援引STEM认同？该模型将使用整个USM LSAMP程序以及每个程序组件的USM LSAMP程序的定量和定性数据进行检查。还将探讨道路是否因种族，性别和转移状态而有所不同。
