The Greater Alabama Black Belt Region (GABBR) Alliance goals are to (1) increase the quantity and quality of underrepresented minority STEM degrees, (2) increase the quantity and quality of underrepresented minority undergraduates entering graduate school, and (3) investigate and disseminate the project's impact on recruitment, retention, success, and graduation of target students. The Alliance uses contemporary mentoring strategies to create a network of scholars who are adequately supported through research-focused interventions, public-private partnerships, and study abroad programs to enhance the quality of STEM education for its scholars as they progress through the STEM pathway (pre-college, first two years of college, and last two years of college). The knowledge and findings that is being generated by the project illuminates factors central to promoting interest and persistence in STEM studies and in STEM career trajectories for URMs, especially those from rural communities.GABBR Alliance consists of eight colleges and universities: Alabama State University, Auburn University, Auburn University Montgomery, Enterprise State Community College, Southern Union State Community College, Troy University, Tuskegee University, and University of West Alabama; and two national laboratories: Brookhaven National Laboratory Center and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. GABBR encompasses 17 counties in the Alabama Black Belt and three counties adjacent to the Alabama Black Belt. Within these counties and at the partner institutions, GABBR aims at increasing the number of underrepresented minority STEM bachelor and associate degrees by 100% in five years, from 422 to 844 and 91 to 182, respectively.

大亚拉巴马黑带地区（GABBR）联盟的目标是（1）增加代表性不足的少数民族STEM学位的数量和质量，（2）增加代表性不足的少数民族本科生进入研究生院的数量和质量，以及（3）调查和传播该项目对目标学生的招聘，保留，成功和毕业的影响。该联盟使用当代指导策略，以创建一个学者网络，通过以研究为重点的干预措施，公私合作伙伴关系和出国留学计划提供充分的支持，以提高其学者在通过STEM途径（大学预科，大学前两年和大学后两年）取得进展时的STEM教育质量。该项目所产生的知识和发现阐明了促进对STEM研究和URM（特别是来自农村社区的URM）的STEM职业轨迹的兴趣和持久性的核心因素。GABBR联盟由八所学院和大学组成：亚拉巴马州立大学，奥本大学，奥本大学蒙哥马利，企业州立社区学院，南联盟州立社区学院，特洛伊大学，塔斯基吉大学和西亚拉巴马大学;以及两个国家实验室：布鲁克海文国家实验室中心和橡树岭国家实验室。GABBR包括亚拉巴马黑带的17个县和毗邻亚拉巴马黑带的3个县。在这些县和伙伴机构，GABBR的目标是在五年内将代表性不足的少数民族STEM学士和副学士学位的数量增加100%，分别从422增加到844和91增加到182。
