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·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）项目帮助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）劳动力的多样化，通过努力显著增加历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口的学生数量，使他们成功完成高质量的STEM学位课程。纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（SUNY LSAMP）已经资助了20年，并与纽约州的14所公立高等教育机构建立了协同合作关系，提供了多种学术优势和能力。石溪（牵头机构）、奥尔巴尼、宾厄姆顿、布法罗、布法罗学院、法明代尔、新帕尔茨和老韦斯特伯里（四年制机构）以及社区学院：达奇斯、拿骚、奥兰治、斯克内克塔迪、萨福克和韦斯特切斯特学院组成了合作伙伴关系。在接下来的五年里，该项目的目标是：迎接让代表性不足的少数民族学生成功过渡到科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）专业的巨大挑战；——专注于提供体验式活动，引导学生走向科学社会化；——加大对扩大参与的研究，推动重大制度变革。SUNY LSAMP的主要重点是确保学生成功完成STEM学科的本科和研究生学位。干预措施是为了更有意地关注LSAMP学生在社区大学转学水平上的成功，以及在完成STEM学位后成功进入研究生院。纽约州立大学LSAMP项目是全面的，旨在提高学术和研究成果，包括在STEM学科中做好充分准备的少数族裔学生，为研究生院的成功做好准备，参与指导和研究学生保留模式，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州组织和STEM项目的伙伴关系，促进少数民族学生在STEM领域的成功过渡。这项研究的目标是确定一个基于证据的公式，以了解STEM丰富计划的哪些组成部分有助于STEM的成功，以及为什么在代表性不足的少数民族学生中。这是一个多机构研究项目，利用理论基础模型-通过过渡（FIT）模型培养（STEM）身份-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和其他机构中继续发展STEM的丰富规划。联盟项目评估结果评估了纽约州立大学LSAMP战略的有效性，将与教育界分享，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，以确定一个基于证据的公式，以了解STEM丰富计划的哪些组成部分有助于在代表性不足的少数民族学生中取得STEM成功。在过去的20年里，纽约州立大学的LSAMP项目取得了惊人的成果，包括在历史上代表性不足的人群中为学生提供了四倍的STEM学士学位。在同一时期，该联盟为相同人口的学生实现了STEM入学率增长11倍。自2011年以来，转读四年制STEM本科课程的社区大学学生几乎翻了一番。在这个项目中实施的最佳实践将对全国其他机构的STEM活动具有可转移的价值。它还将创造一种环境，使所取得的成果在项目结束后能够持续下去。SUNY 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更多样化和更具竞争力的STEM劳动力。
