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

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划通过显著增加成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科高质量学位课程的学生人数，帮助大学和学院实现STEM劳动力的多样化。特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留战略和经验来改变STEM教育，以支持在STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的群体：非洲裔美国人，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岛民。桥梁博士学位（BD）活动为STEM项目的博士后研究提供支持，从而获得STEM博士学位。东北大学（NU）是2018-2020年BD计划的主办网站为东北路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（NE-LSAMP）在康涅狄格大学的领导下。 上升学者的战略推进（星）是在NU支持来自全国各地的LSAMP校园的12个代表性不足的少数民族（URM）STEM研究生的学生队列的第一个学士学位后计划。STARS计划采用了招聘、反思、资源、追索、保留和提升的六个R模型。学生接受严格的学术和经验研究培训，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导师培训和发展沿着与文化相关的STEM指导和评估是该计划的突出特点，其中包括与国家指导研究网络（nmren）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。 项目成果和年度评估报告将通过东北联盟和NU的网站以及STEM专业会议进行传播。 在与NU的计算机科学系，一个新的在线长期系统的发展提出了跟踪学生在参与该计划期间和之后。BD活动的长期影响反映在美国的STEM劳动力中，无论是在学术界还是在工业研发领域。通过培养未来的STEM领导者，其附加值体现在科学和工程领域代表性不足的少数民族的可见度，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价值和更广泛的影响力审查标准进行评估，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.
