The Virginia-North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (VA-NC Alliance) project includes Bennett College, Elizabeth City State University, George Mason University, Johnson C. Smith University, Old Dominion University, Piedmont Virginia Community College, St. Augustine's University, Thomas Nelson Community College, Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Tech, and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, with the University of Virginia serving as the lead institution. The VA-NC Alliance's robust and innovative recruitment, retention, graduate school preparation activities, and data management practices support significantly increasing the following: the number of under-represented minority (URM) students enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines; the number of URM STEM students transferring from community colleges into four-year institutions; the number of baccalaureate STEM degrees earned by URM students; and the number of URM STEM students entering graduate school. The Alliance facilitates research opportunities within many academic institutions, industries, government agencies, and other organizations to prepare students for graduate school. The Alliance-wide longitudinal research project will examine the impact of STEM intervention programs on students' self-efficacy, outcome expectations, science identity, and post-graduate decision-making, and will share best practices. The research team will utilize mixed methods including surveys and interviews with undergraduates. With a 156% increase in URM STEM degrees over the previous two phases, the Alliance exceeded its goal related to broadening participation of students. By tapping into a workforce previously underrepresented, the Alliance will ensure diverse perspectives are applied to complex and global problems, benefitting the region and the nation.

北卡罗来纳州卡罗莱纳路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（VA-NC联盟）项目包括班尼特学院，伊丽莎白城州立大学，乔治梅森大学，约翰逊C。史密斯大学、旧自治领大学、皮埃蒙特弗吉尼亚社区学院、圣奥古斯丁大学、托马斯纳尔逊社区学院、弗吉尼亚联邦大学、弗吉尼亚理工大学和国家射电天文台，弗吉尼亚大学是牵头机构。 VA-NC联盟强大而创新的招聘，保留，研究生院准备活动和数据管理实践支持显着增加以下内容：在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科就读的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的数量; URM STEM学生从社区学院转入四年制院校的数量; URM学生获得的学士学位STEM学位的数量;以及URM STEM学生进入研究生院的数量。该联盟促进许多学术机构，行业，政府机构和其他组织的研究机会，为学生准备研究生院。 联盟范围内的纵向研究项目将研究STEM干预计划对学生自我效能感，结果预期，科学身份和研究生决策的影响，并将分享最佳实践。研究小组将采用混合方法，包括调查和对本科生的采访。URM STEM学位比前两个阶段增加了156%，联盟超过了其扩大学生参与的目标。通过利用以前代表性不足的劳动力，联盟将确保将不同的观点应用于复杂的全球问题，使该地区和国家受益。
