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 from historically underrepresented minority populations to successfully complete high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Howard University, lead institution for the Washington-Baltimore-Hampton Roads Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (WBHR-LSAMP) consists of a consortium of seven Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia region and six regional community colleges. The alliance aims to continue strengthening retention of commuity college student transfer to four-year STEM degree programs and increasing the competitiveness of STEM students for graduate studies. International research experiences for both undergraduate and graduate students in STEM programs will be emphasized. Project results will be disseminated and will incorporate social media strategies through the alliance website. Successful practices for student transfers and faculty mentoring will be also be included in the website. Scholarly publications in refereed scientific journals and presentations at STEM conferences will be another venue for dissemination of results. Over the next five years, the WBHR alliance will increase the number of historically underrepresented students who will complete STEM baccalaureate degrees by 25%, and the number of students entering STEM graduate programs by 30%. The alliance will also continue to sustain and institutionalize successful retention practices. Evaluation and assessment metrics will address graduation rates, efficiency and effectiveness of program implementation, and measurable or sustainable goals. Implementation will include summer and academic research activities, facilitating transfer to four-year STEM degree programs and successful completion and fulfillment of STEM baccalaureate degree requirements. In preparation for graduate school entry, students will receive Graduate Research Examination (GRE) preparations and STEM professional development activities that include international research experiences.

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划帮助大学和学院通过努力使STEM劳动力多样化，显着增加来自历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口的学生人数，以成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的高质量学位课程。 霍华德大学是华盛顿-巴尔的摩-汉普顿路路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（WBHR-LSAMP）的牵头机构，由华盛顿、哥伦比亚特区、马里兰州和弗吉尼亚地区的七所历史上的黑人学院和大学以及六所地区社区学院组成。 该联盟旨在继续加强社区大学学生转入四年制STEM学位课程的保留，并提高STEM学生攻读研究生课程的竞争力。 将强调本科生和研究生在STEM课程中的国际研究经验。将通过联盟网站传播项目成果，并纳入社交媒体战略。学生转学和教师指导的成功做法也将包括在网站上。在经过评审的科学期刊上发表的学术论文和在STEM会议上的演讲将 成为传播成果的另一个渠道。 在未来五年内，WBHR联盟将使完成STEM学士学位的历史上代表性不足的学生人数增加25%，进入STEM研究生课程的学生人数增加30%。 联盟还将继续维持成功的留用做法并使之制度化。评价和评估指标将解决毕业率，计划实施的效率和有效性，以及可衡量或可持续的目标。实施将包括夏季和学术研究活动，促进转移到四年制STEM学位课程，并成功完成和履行STEM学士学位要求。在准备进入研究生院，学生将接受研究生研究考试（GRE）的准备和STEM专业发展活动，包括国际研究经验。
