Participants in LAMOST, US (PLUS) has a collaborative partnership with the Galactic structure component of the Chinese LAMOST project, on the 4-meter class Guoshoujing Telescope in China. The pilot survey began in October 2011 and will use half of the available time before the summer shutdown in May 2012. The pilot survey will obtain about 1 million spectra, split between the LEGAS (extragalactic) and LEGUE (Galactic stars) portions of the survey. We present newly obtained spectra from the pilot survey. The survey of Galactic stars will collect 2.5 million faint stellar spectra and 5 million bright disk stars in a five year survey starting in 2012. US astronomers who wish to actively collaborate with the current science groups can still join. We present results from eight Chinese visiting scholars that were co-advised by Chinese and US advisors. More information can be found at http://lamost.us/. This partnership is funded by NSF grant AST-09-37523, and NSFC grants 10973015 and 11061120454.
