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 (African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders) to successfully complete high quality degree programs in STEM. The Tampa Bay Bridge to the Baccalaureate Alliance (TB-B2B) focuses on activities that provides effective educational tools and resources to prepare underrepresented minority (URM) community college students for successful transfer to and completion of STEM baccalaureate degrees. TB-B2B will use a holistic system to recruit and strengthen students' preparation for STEM baccalaureate programs by focusing on: 1) awareness and outreach to encourage enrollment into the STEM pipeline through informal learning events, digital marketing and social networking; 2) intrusive guidance, deep engagement activities and experiential learning opportunities to retain students using STEM Learning Communities, including dedicated advising, peer and faculty mentoring, undergraduate research, internships and job shadowing; 3) academic supports to fortify math foundations, inclusive of math-based adaptive learning tools and summer bridge programming; and 4) transfer guidance to encourage matriculation to STEM baccalaureate programs. Faculty learning communities and professional development workshops complete the framework, ensuring an institutional shift in URM student outreach, preparation, retention and transfer. A comprehensive evaluation allows for greater evidence demonstrating the efficacy of these interventions.TB-B2B is led by St. Petersburg College in partnership with State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota and Hillsborough Community College, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, and the University of South Florida System as an informal partner and point of transfer. TB-B2B builds on existing articulations between these institutions to bolster a region-wide effort in STEM degree attainment and career achievement.

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，努力显着增加历史上代表性不足的少数族裔（非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民）的学生数量，以成功完成高质量学位课程 在科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域。 坦帕湾通往学士学位联盟 (TB-B2B) 的重点是提供有效的教育工具和资源的活动，为代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 社区学院学生成功转入并完成 STEM 学士学位做好准备。 TB-B2B 将使用一个整体系统来招收学生并加强他们为 STEM 学士学位课程做的准备，重点关注：1）通过非正式学习活动、数字营销和社交网络提高意识和宣传，鼓励学生加入 STEM 渠道； 2) 侵入式指导、深度参与活动和体验式学习机会，以留住使用 STEM 学习社区的学生，包括专门的建议、同行和教师指导、本科生研究、实习和工作见习； 3) 巩固数学基础的学术支持，包括基于数学的自适应学习工具和暑期桥梁课程； 4) 转学指导，鼓励学生入读 STEM 学士学位课程。教师学习社区和专业发展研讨会完善了该框架，确保了 URM 学生的外展、准备、保留和转学方面的制度转变。综合评估可以提供更多证据来证明这些干预措施的有效性。TB-B2B 由圣彼得堡学院牵头，与佛罗里达州立学院海牛-萨拉索塔和希尔斯伯勒社区学院（西班牙裔服务机构）以及作为非正式合作伙伴和转移点的南佛罗里达大学系统合作。 TB-B2B 以这些机构之间现有的联系为基础，以支持整个地区在获得 STEM 学位和职业成就方面的努力。
