The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program, within the Division of Human Resource Development (HRD), was established by Congressional mandate in 1991 to significantly increase the quality and quantity of students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) who successfully complete baccalaureate degrees in STEM and who continue to graduate studies in these fields. The Houston alliance is a comprehensive partnership that includes the country's largest school districts, two community college systems, one doctoral-granting Historically Black College and University (HBCU) and two Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). As a senior-level alliance, H-LSAMP will support new efforts in student transition, student support mechanisms for non-traditional students, the inclusion of social support mechanisms to facilitate STEM retention, and the institutionalization of high-impact practices developed during earlier LSAMP funding. Over the five-year project, Houston LSAMP Senior Alliance will: (1) Graduate 4,000 minority students in STEM disciplines, 2) Provide all directly supported students with the opportunity to participate in research activities, 3) Have at least sixty percent of directly supported students attend professional or graduate school, 4) Retain at least eighty percent of minority STEM undergraduates, including transfer students, in STEM majors. Upon completion of the award period, the H-LSAMP project will have provided the opportunity for all supported students to meaningfully participate in research activities, including international research.Evaluation activities will have three major components. 1) Interviews of participants, staff, and faculty to identify in real time which intervention activities need adjustment, i.e., formative feedback, as well as assess both the measured and perceived impact of project-based activities; 2) Gathering, analyzing, and reporting specific measures that operationalize each project goal or objective; and 3) The use of multivariate models isolating and measuring how the specific intervention strategies and support mechanisms relate to success. Construction of these models will be guided by the literature on academic and social integration, engagement, and achievement, and will draw upon appropriate statistical techniques, e.g., factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results of these analyses will contribute to the literature on broadening participation and achievement in STEM and serve as a guide for other universities and alliances who share these goals.

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划，在人力资源开发司（HRD）内，于1991年由国会授权成立，以显着提高学生的质量和数量，这些学生在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）中历史上代表性不足，他们成功地完成了STEM的学士学位，并继续在这些领域进行研究生学习。休斯顿联盟是一个全面的合作伙伴关系，包括全国最大的学区，两个社区学院系统，一个授予博士学位的历史黑人学院和大学（HBCU）和两个西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）。 作为一个高级联盟，H-LSAMP将支持学生过渡的新努力，非传统学生的学生支持机制，纳入社会支持机制以促进STEM保留，以及早期LSAMP资助期间开发的高影响力实践的制度化。 在为期五年的项目中，休斯顿LSAMP高级联盟将：（1）在STEM学科毕业4,000名少数民族学生，2）为所有直接支持的学生提供参与研究活动的机会，3）至少有60%的直接支持的学生参加专业或研究生院，4）保留至少80%的少数民族STEM本科生，包括转学生，在STEM专业在奖励期结束后，H-LSAMP项目将为所有受资助的学生提供有意义地参与研究活动的机会，包括国际研究。评估活动将有三个主要部分。1)对参与者、工作人员和教师进行访谈，以真实的确定哪些干预活动需要调整，即，形成性反馈，以及评估基于项目的活动的测量和感知影响; 2）收集，分析和报告实施每个项目目标或目的的具体措施; 3）使用多变量模型隔离和测量具体干预策略和支持机制如何与成功相关。这些模型的构建将以学术和社会融合、参与和成就方面的文献为指导，并将利用适当的统计技术，例如，因子分析和结构方程模型。这些分析的结果将有助于扩大STEM的参与和成就的文献，并作为其他大学和联盟谁共享这些目标的指导。
