LSAMP BD: Strategic Advancement of Rising Scholars (STARS) Nominated by the Northeast Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (NE-LSAMP)

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划通过努力显着增加成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科高质量学位课程的学生数量，协助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力多元化。特别强调通过创新的招募和保留策略和经验来改变 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体：非裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美洲印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。通往博士学位的桥梁 (BD) 活动为获得 STEM 博士学位的 STEM 项目的学士后研究提供支持。东北大学 (NU) 是康涅狄格大学领导下的东北路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (NE-LSAMP) 2018-2020 BD 项目的主办地。 新秀学者战略进步 (STARS) 是 NU 的第一个学士后项目，为来自全国 LSAMP 校园的 12 名代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) STEM 研究生提供支持。 STARS 计划包含招聘、反思、资源、资源、保留和晋升的六卢比模型。学生接受严格的学术和体验式研究培训，以支持完成 STEM 博士学位。以及向学术界和工业界竞争性职业的过渡。 教师 STEM 导师培训和发展以及文化相关的 STEM 指导和评估是该计划的显着特点，其中包括与国家指导研究网络 (NMRN) 的联系。 形成性和总结性评价活动包括对项目实施和学生成果的评价和评估。 项目结果和年度评估报告将通过东北联盟和NU的网站以及STEM专业会议传播。 与国立大学计算机科学系合作，提议开发一个新的在线长期系统，以跟踪学生参与该项目期间和之后的情况。 BD 活动的长期影响反映在美国学术界和工业研发领域的 STEM 劳动力队伍中。通过培养未来的 STEM 领导者，其增值体现在科学和工程领域代表性不足的少数群体的可见度、增加代表性并为下一代提供榜样和 STEM 领导力。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity provides support for postbaccalaureate studies in STEM programs leading to the STEM doctoral degree. Northeastern University (NU) is the host site for the 2018-2020 BD program for the Northeast Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (NE-LSAMP) under the leadership of the University of Connecticut. Strategic Advancement of Rising Scholars (STARS) is the first post-baccalaureate program at NU that supports a student cohort of 12 underrepresented minority (URM) STEM graduate students from LSAMP campuses across the nation. The STARS program incorporates a six Rs model of recruitment, reflection, resources, recourse, retention, and rise. Students receive rigorous academic and experiential research training that support completion of the STEM Ph.D. and the transition to a competitive career in academia and industry. Faculty STEM mentor training and development along with culturally relevant STEM mentoring and evaluation are prominent features of the program that includes linkages to the National Mentoring Research Network (NMRN). Formative and summative evaluation activities include evaluation and assessment of the project's implementation and student outcomes. Project results and annual evaluation reports will be disseminated through the Northeast Alliance and NU's website and at STEM professional conferences. In conjunction with NU's Department of Computer Sciences, a new on-line long-term system is proposed for development to track students during and after participation in the program. The long-term impact of the BD activity is reflected in America's STEM workforce, both in academia and in industrial research and development. By nurturing future STEM leaders, the value added is seen in the visibility of underrepresented minorities in science and engineering, increasing representation and providing role models and STEM leadership for the next generation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
