项目摘要

The Louis Stokes Mississippi STEM Pathways and Research Alliance is a comprehensive statewide program that is designed to support broad-based STEM education and to provide pathways to STEM careers in all geographical areas of the state of Mississippi. This alliance is comprised of nine (9) post-secondary institutions that have a long history of cooperation through collective sharing of resources combined with individual institutional strengths. The institutions include Jackson State University (the lead institution), the University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University, Alcorn State University, Mississippi Valley State University, the University of Southern Mississippi, Tougaloo College, Delta State University, and Hinds Community College. The alliance will recruit and support the economically disadvantaged minority student population throughout the state. The support provided by NSF has been, and will continue to be instrumental to the training of students unrepresented in STEM from undergraduate through graduate programs. Many Mississippi students enrolled in STEM disciplines will likely change their majors after the first year in college. LS-MAMP will develop pathways for successful, recruitment, retention and transition of students to STEM majors and will aid in changing these patterns for a significant number of URM students in the region. These efforts will be carried out through programmatic activities such as mentoring, intrusive intervention, legislative changes, (2+2) community college program and transfers, conferences, expert speakers, summer internships, advising and many other activities to improve upon these successes and to retain and graduate these enthusiastic yet less prepared STEM students from undergraduate to graduate and to STEM fields. The need for a strong, strategic, and productive STEM graduate pipeline within the state cannot be overemphasized. The alliance will continue to provide opportunities for students and equip them with the foundation necessary to tackle the states' and the nation's science and technology needs and challenges. The scientific and technological needs of the nation as well as the unique opportunity presented by the demographics and educational needs of the state makes the alliance a strong partner of the National Science Foundation. The mission of the Mississippi STEM Pathways and Research Alliance will be accomplished by 1). Increasing undergraduate STEM enrollment and recruitment by 35% and increasing STEM retention and baccalaureate graduation by 30% over the next five years, 2). Increasing the number of students matriculating into STEM graduate program pipelines by 25% over the next five years, 3). Increasing the production and dissemination of scholarly research on broadening participation of URM students in STEM discipline, 4). Increasing the number of students gaining international research experiences from 20 to 30 students annually, 5). Providing mentoring and STEM research experiences for students through partnerships with national laboratories, industry, out-of-state universities, and scientific societies, 6), Supporting the alliance initiatives via continued institutionalization. (7). Engaging in educational research that will provide a sustainable institution-wide model to highlight high impact best practices, and control group study to drastically improve the graduation rates of URM students in STEM fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

路易斯·斯托克斯密西西比州的茎道和研究联盟是一项全州范围的一项全面计划，旨在支持基于广泛的STEM教育，并在密西西比州所有地理领域提供STEM职业的途径。该联盟由九（9）个专上机构组成，这些机构通过集体共享资源以及个人机构优势，具有悠久的合作历史。这些机构包括杰克逊州立大学（主要机构），密西西比州大学，密西西比州立大学，阿尔科恩州立大学，密西西比州谷州立大学，南密西西比大学，托加罗学院，德尔塔州立大学和Hinds社区学院。该联盟将招募和支持全州经济上不利的少数学生人口。 NSF提供的支持一直是，并且将继续对通过研究生课程中未经代表的学生培训学生的培训。在大学第一年后，许多参加STEM学科的密西西比学生可能会改变专业。 LS-MAMP将开发成功，招募，保留和过渡到学生的途径，并有助于改变该地区大量URM学生的这些模式。这些努力将通过程序化活动进行，例如指导，侵入性干预，立法变更，（2+2）社区大学计划和转会，会议，专家演讲者，暑期实习，暑期实习以及许多其他活动，以改善这些成功，并保留和毕业这些热情的较少而较少准备的STEM学生，从毕业生到毕业生和茎领域。不能过分强调国家内强，战略性和生产性的STEM研究生管道。该联盟将继续为学生提供机会，并为他们提供必要的基础，以应对国家的科学和技术需求和挑战。国家的科学和技术需求以及国家的人口统计和教育需求带来的独特机会使联盟成为国家科学基金会的强大伙伴。密西西比州STEM途径和研究联盟的任务将在1之前完成。在未来五年中，本科本科茎的入学和招募增加了35％，并增加了茎保留率和学士学位毕业30％，2）。在未来五年中，将入学到STEM研究生课程管道的学生人数增加25％，3）。增加了有关扩大URM学生在STEM学科的参与的学术研究的产生和传播，4）。增加获得国际研究经验的学生的数量从每年的20名学生增加到30名。通过与国家实验室，工业，州外大学和科学社会的合作伙伴关系为学生提供指导和STEM研究经验，6），通过持续制度化支持联盟倡议。（7）。从事教育研究，将提供一个可持续的机构范围的模型，以突出最佳影响最佳实践，并从STEM领域中大幅度提高URM学生的毕业率。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
