The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (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 STEM.The State University of New York Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP) has been funded for 20 years and has built a synergistic collaboration of 14 public higher education institutions in the state of New York that provide a diverse mix of academic strengths and capabilities. Stony Brook (lead institution), Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, College at Buffalo, Farmingdale, New Paltz and Old Westbury (4-year institutions) and community colleges: Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Schenectady, Suffolk and Westchester colleges comprise the partnership. Over the next five years, the goals of the project are to:--meet the grand challenge of preparing underrepresented minority students for successful transition into science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors;--focus on providing experiential activities that lead to socialization into science;--promote significant systemic change by increasing research on broadening participation.The primary focus of SUNY LSAMP is to ensure student success in completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in STEM disciplines. Interventions are primed for a more intentional focus on LSAMP students' success at the community college transfer level and successful entry into graduate school in the completion of STEM degrees.The SUNY LSAMP program is comprehensive and designed to enhance academic and research outcomes including well-prepared underrepresented minority students in STEM disciplines equipped for success in graduate school, engaging mentoring and research student retention models, and a sound and rigorous evaluation plan. The program will leverage its institutional research infrastructure and its partnerships with other state organizations and STEM projects to facilitate successful transitions of minority students in STEM fields.The goal of the study, which focuses on community college participants, is to identify an evidenced-based formula for understanding what components of STEM enrichment programs contribute to STEM success and why among underrepresented minority students. This is a multi-institutional research project that utilizes a theoretically grounded model - Fostering (STEM) Identity through Transitions (FIT) Model -to explore issues of STEM success. The study has the potential to fine-tune the FIT theoretical model resulting in the continuing development of enrichment programming in STEM throughout the SUNY system and for use at other institutions.Alliance program evaluation findings assessing the effectiveness of the SUNY LSAMP strategies will be shared with the education community to build the knowledge base and foster implementation of best practices. In addition, the project includes a study to identify an evidenced-based formula for understanding what components of STEM enrichment programs contribute to STEM success among underrepresented minority students. Over the past 20 years, the SUNY LSAMP program has yielded amazing outcomes including a quadrupling of STEM B. S. degrees to students in historically underrepresented populations. The alliance has achieved an eleven-fold increase in STEM enrollment for this same population of students during this same period. Since 2011, community college students transferring to 4-year STEM undergraduate programs has nearly doubled. The best practices implemented in this project will have transferable values for STEM activities in other institutions in the nation. It will also create an environment in which the outcomes achieved will be sustainable after the project comes to an end. SUNY LSAMP will not only increase the number of successful students completing degrees in STEM disciplines, but is also committed to creating a more diverse and competitive STEM workforce in the nation.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划帮助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 劳动力的多元化，努力显着增加来自历史上代表性不足的少数族裔群体的学生人数，以成功完成高质量的 STEM 学位课程。纽约州立大学路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (SUNY LSAMP) 已获得资助 20 年， 与纽约州 14 所公立高等教育机构建立了协同合作关系，提供多元化的学术优势和能力。 石溪学院（牵头院校）、奥尔巴尼学院、宾厄姆顿学院、布法罗学院、布法罗学院、法明代尔学院、新帕尔茨学院和老韦斯特伯里学院（四年制学院）以及社区学院：Dutchess、Nassau、Orange、Schenectady、Suffolk 和 Westchester 学院组成了合作伙伴关系。 在未来五年中，该项目的目标是：--应对为代表性不足的少数族裔学生成功过渡到科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 专业的巨大挑战；--专注于提供导致社会化进入科学的体验活动；--通过增加扩大参与的研究，促进重大的系统性变革。纽约州立大学 LSAMP 的主要重点是确保学生成功完成 STEM 本科和研究生学位 学科。 干预措施旨在更加有意识地关注 LSAMP 学生在社区大学转学水平上的成功以及成功进入研究生院完成 STEM 学位。纽约州立大学 LSAMP 计划是全面的，旨在提高学术和研究成果，包括为在研究生院取得成功做好准备的 STEM 学科中代表性不足的少数族裔学生、参与指导和研究的学生保留模型以及健全而严格的评估计划。 该计划将利用其机构研究基础设施以及与其他国家组织和 STEM 项目的合作伙伴关系，促进少数族裔学生在 STEM 领域的成功过渡。这项研究以社区大学参与者为重点，其目标是确定一个基于证据的公式，以了解 STEM 强化计划的哪些组成部分有助于 STEM 成功，以及为什么少数族裔学生的成功率较低。 这是一个多机构研究项目，利用理论基础模型 - 通过转变培养 (STEM) 身份 (FIT) 模型 - 来探索 STEM 成功的问题。该研究有可能对 FIT 理论模型进行微调，从而在整个纽约州立大学系统内持续开发 STEM 强化计划，并供其他机构使用。评估纽约州立大学 LSAMP 策略有效性的联盟计划评估结果将与教育界共享，以建立知识库并促进最佳实践的实施。 此外，该项目还包括一项研究，旨在确定一个基于证据的公式，以了解 STEM 强化计划的哪些组成部分有助于少数族裔学生在 STEM 方面取得成功。在过去的 20 年里，纽约州立大学 LSAMP 项目取得了惊人的成果，其中包括为历史上代表性不足的群体中的学生提供了四倍的 STEM 学士学位。 同期，该联盟的同一学生群体的 STEM 入学人数增加了 11 倍。 自 2011 年以来，转入四年制 STEM 本科课程的社区学院学生几乎增加了一倍。该项目中实施的最佳实践将为全国其他机构的 STEM 活动带来可转移的价值。它还将创造一个环境，使所取得的成果在项目结束后可持续。 纽约州立大学 LSAMP 不仅将增加成功完成 STEM 学科学位的学生数量，而且还致力于在全国创造一支更加多元化和更具竞争力的 STEM 劳动力队伍。
