The LSAMP Program priorities are to (a) increase individual student retention and progression to baccalaureate degrees for underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, (b) enable successful transfer of underrepresented students from 2-year to 4-yearinstitutions in STEM programs (c) increase access to high quality undergraduate research experiences, and (d) facilitate seamless transition of underrepresented students into STEM graduate programs. Southern Nevada Northern Arizona LSAMP (SNNA-LSAMP) is an alliance of higher education institutions that includes research universities (University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Northern Arizona University) and community colleges (College of Southern Nevada and Coconino Community College) in the Lower Colorado River Basin. SNNA-LSAMP's goal is, within five years, to increase substantially the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who earn science, technology, engineering, and technology (STEM) baccalaureate degrees at alliance institutions.SNNA-LSAMP will provide services and activities that bolster the academic performance and persistence and graduation rates of URM STEM students at alliance institutions. Specifically, SNNA-LSAMP will provide these students with intensive, near-peer mentoring; out-of-class STEM activities that enhance disciplinary socialization; undergraduate research opportunities; internships; priority registration for enrollment in STEM courses; and priority access to all academic support services provided on alliance campuses. Furthermore, SNNA-LSAMP will facilitate the smooth transitions for participants transferring from its community colleges to its universities, as well as provide upper-division participants with step-by-step guidance through the process of applying to graduate school. SNNA-LSAMP will improve the STEM classroom experience for URM students by providing workshops that enhance the multicultural competence of professors and instructors at alliance institutions. Consequently, SNNA-LSAMP will be a vital component of efforts to diversify and significantly expand the pool of highly qualified STEM workers in southern Nevada and northern Arizona, accelerating the region's ongoing transformation into fertile ground for STEM startups and will be an attractive destination for established STEM-based businesses seeking to relocate.

LSAMP方案的优先事项是：(A)为代表性不足的种族和族裔群体增加个别学生的保留率和升学机会，(B)使代表性不足的学生能够成功地从STEM课程的两年制院校转到四年制院校；(C)增加获得高质量本科生研究经验的机会；以及(D)促进代表性不足的学生无缝过渡到STEM研究生课程。南内华达州北亚利桑那州LSAMP(SNNA-LSAMP)是一个高等教育机构联盟，包括科罗拉多河流域下游的研究型大学(内华达大学、拉斯维加斯大学和北亚利桑那大学)和社区学院(南内华达学院和科科尼诺社区学院)。SNNA-LSAMP的目标是在五年内大幅增加在联盟机构获得科学、技术、工程和技术(STEM)学士学位的代表不足的少数族裔(URM)学生的数量。SNNA-LSAMP将提供服务和活动，以提高联盟机构中URM STEM学生的学业成绩和毅力和毕业率。具体而言，SNNA-LSAMP将为这些学生提供密集的近同伴指导；加强学科社会化的课外STEM活动；本科生研究机会；实习；优先注册参加STEM课程；优先获得联盟校园提供的所有学术支持服务。此外，SNNA-LSAMP将促进学员从社区学院转至大学的平稳过渡，并通过申请研究生院的过程为高级学员提供循序渐进的指导。SNNA-LSAMP将通过提供研讨会来提高联盟机构教授和教师的多元文化能力，从而改善URM学生的STEM课堂体验。因此，SNNA-LSAMP将是努力实现内华达州南部和亚利桑那州北部高素质STEM员工队伍多样化并显著扩大的重要组成部分，加速该地区正在进行的转型，成为STEM初创企业的沃土，并将成为寻求搬迁的STEM老牌企业的一个有吸引力的目的地。
