The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Illinois Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (ILSAMP) is a senior-level alliance comprised of universities and community colleges throughout the state and one federal laboratory. The specific partners include the following four-year institutions: Chicago State University, DePaul University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois University, Southern Illinois University (Carbondale, Edwardsville), University of Illinois at Chicago, and Governors State University. Additional partners include five two-year institutions (Harry Truman College, Kennedy King College, Olive Harvey College, St. Augustine College, Wilbur Wright College) and one non-academic partner, Argonne National Laboratory. This project will have four primary objectives. These objectives are to: (1) develop interventions to bridge the achievement gap by recruiting, retaining and graduating underrepresented students of color in STEM; (2) develop partnerships with 2- and 4-year institutions, school systems, industry, government and veteran affairs; (3) continue international opportunities that will enable students to understand and participate successfully in global science endeavors; (4) continue institutionalization of effective activities begun during earlier levels of ILSAMP. The activities proposed will be designed to accomplish the central goal of increasing the number of historically underrepresented students who select STEM disciplines and persist to graduation from baccalaureate-producing institutions and who are prepared to successfully matriculate in graduate schools or obtain professional positions in STEM. The project will provide students with the academic and professional skills to function at the highest levels of competency.ILSAMP activities will broaden the participation of historically underrepresented groups, including ethnic and racial minorities in the STEM enterprise, by providing access to research and science programs. The alliance will not only help to close the gap created by the paucity of underserved individuals who are STEM professionals functioning creatively, it will also encourage others who have been reticent to attempt baccalaureate-level science work, e.g., veterans and students with GED education. Advisory boards and committees will help to broaden the impact of ILSAMP through wide dissemination of project results. Input and assistance will also be furnished by a Technical Advisory Committee, the composition of which provides a connection with the Illinois business community, the public high schools, graduate schools, state and national policy makers and national research institutions. Results of process and impact evaluations combined with internal project assessment will provide insight on effective strategies for fostering student success in STEM and the effectiveness of the ILSAMP model. Findings will be shared at regional and national meetings and through social networking where the foci on underrepresented minority student persistence, performance, and advancement in STEM fields are discussed.

Louis Stokes少数族裔参与联盟(LSAMP)计划帮助大学和学院通过努力显著增加成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科的高质量学位课程的学生数量，使STEM劳动力多样化。特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留战略和经验来改变STEM教育，以支持在STEM学科中历来代表性不足的群体：非洲裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美洲印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。伊利诺伊州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟(ILSAMP)是一个高层联盟，由全州的大学和社区学院以及一个联邦实验室组成。具体合作伙伴包括以下四年制院校：芝加哥州立大学、德保罗大学、伊利诺伊理工学院、伊利诺伊州立大学、东北伊利诺伊大学、南伊利诺伊大学(卡本代尔、爱德华兹维尔)、伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校和州长州立大学。其他合作伙伴包括五个两年制机构(哈里·杜鲁门学院、肯尼迪·金学院、奥利弗·哈维学院、圣奥古斯丁学院、威尔伯·赖特学院)和一个非学术合作伙伴--阿贡国家实验室。这个项目将有四个主要目标。这些目标是：(1)制定干预措施，通过招收、留住STEM中代表性不足的有色人种学生并使其毕业，缩小成绩差距；(2)与两年制和四年制院校、学校系统、行业、政府和退伍军人事务部发展伙伴关系；(3)继续提供国际机会，使学生能够了解并成功参与全球科学活动；(4)继续将在国际科学、技术和管理计划早期层面上开始的有效活动制度化。拟议的活动将旨在实现以下核心目标：增加选择科学、技术和经济教育专业并坚持到毕业于文凭产生院校，并准备成功进入研究生院或获得科学、技术和经济教育专业职位的人数。该项目将为学生提供在最高能力水平上发挥作用的学术和专业技能。ILSAMP活动将通过提供参与研究和科学计划的机会，扩大历史上代表性不足的群体的参与，包括STEM企业中的少数民族和少数族裔。这一联盟不仅将有助于弥合缺乏服务的STEM专业人员创造性地发挥作用所造成的差距，还将鼓励其他一直保持沉默的人尝试文凭水平的科学工作，例如接受过GED教育的退伍军人和学生。咨询委员会和咨询委员会将通过广泛传播项目成果，帮助扩大ILSAMP的影响。技术咨询委员会还将提供投入和援助，该委员会的组成提供与伊利诺伊州企业界、公立高中、研究生院、州和国家政策制定者以及国家研究机构的联系。过程和影响评估的结果与内部项目评估相结合，将提供关于培养学生在STEM取得成功的有效战略以及ILSAMP模式的有效性的见解。调查结果将在区域和国家会议上分享，并通过社交网络进行讨论，讨论重点是未被充分代表的少数族裔学生在STEM领域的坚持性、表现和进步。
