项目摘要

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in their efforts to significantly increase the numbers of students matriculating into and successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to diversify the STEM workforce. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming undergraduate STEM education through innovative, evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies, and relevant educational experiences in support of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. These strategies facilitate the production of well-prepared students highly-qualified and motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM.For the United States (U.S.) to remain globally competitive, it is vital that it taps into the talent of all its citizens and provides exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. The Ohio LSAMP program was established in 2013 in response to the need for a more diverse and skilled technical workforce. That need still exists and is particularly acute in the State of Ohio. The goal of the Alliance is to double the number of underrepresented minority (URM) baccalaureate STEM degrees from partner institutions within five years. The ten public institutions that make up the Ohio LSAMP are diverse and include four community colleges and six four-year institutions, including one partner that is classified as a Historically Black College and University. The institutions are Central State University, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, Cleveland State University, Columbus State Community College, Cuyahoga Community College, Miami University, Sinclair Community College, The Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, and Wright State University. The Alliance goals include: 1) continuing the innovative, evidence-based high-impact practices that have proven to be effective in recruitment and retention of URM STEM students; 2) strengthening pathways for smooth transitions from community colleges to four-year institutions; 3) initiating innovative interventions that fortify mathematical knowledge, reform mathematics curricula, and prevent mathematics from being a barrier to progression of URM students in STEM; 4) increasing access to high quality faculty-mentored research experiences for URM STEM students; 5) preparing URM students for and facilitate their seamless transition into STEM graduate programs; and 6) developing and implementing an alliance-wide communications plan, including an interactive website, for effective communication and dissemination of information. These goals support the National Science Foundation's strategic goal to "cultivate a world-class, broadly inclusive science and engineering workforce, and expand the scientific literacy of all citizens." In support of the goals, the alliance-wide activities consist of the Annual Research Conference and the activities of the alliance task forces for ancillary studies, communications, community college pathways, corporate engagement, and mathematics curriculum reform. The high-impact practices at each partner institution of the Alliance include advisement and transfer support services, bridge/early arrival programs, tutoring, peer mentoring, faculty mentoring and undergraduate research, and professional development. Of note, each of the four community colleges is in the same city as a four-year institution of the alliance, and a major emphasis of this alliance is to produce viable community college pathways to STEM degrees for URMs. The said activities will produce higher rates of retention and graduation; and moreover, lead to a more talented and diverse STEM workforce.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.

Louis Stokes少数族裔参与联盟(LSAMP)计划帮助大学和学院努力大幅增加科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科的高质量学位课程录取并成功完成的学生数量，以使STEM劳动力多样化。特别强调通过创新的、基于证据的招聘和保留战略以及相关的教育经验来转变本科STEM教育，以支持在STEM学科中历来代表性不足的种族和民族：非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。这些战略有助于培养准备充分的学生，这些学生非常合格，有动力在STEM继续研究生教育或职业生涯。为了保持全球竞争力，至关重要的是要挖掘所有公民的才华，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供出色的教育准备。俄亥俄州LSAMP项目成立于2013年，旨在满足对更多样化和更熟练的技术劳动力的需求。这种需要仍然存在，在俄亥俄州尤为迫切。该联盟的目标是在五年内将来自伙伴机构的代表不足的少数族裔(URM)STEM学士学位的数量翻一番。组成俄亥俄州LSAMP的十所公立机构是多样化的，其中包括四所社区学院和六所四年制院校，其中一所合作伙伴被归类为历史上的黑人学院和大学。这些机构是中央州立大学、辛辛那提州立技术和社区学院、克利夫兰州立大学、哥伦布州立社区学院、凯霍加社区学院、迈阿密大学、辛克莱社区学院、俄亥俄州立大学、辛辛那提大学和莱特州立大学。联盟的目标包括：1)继续采用已被证明在招收和留住URM STEM学生方面有效的创新的、基于证据的高影响力做法；2)加强从社区大学向四年制院校平稳过渡的途径；3)发起创新干预措施，强化数学知识，改革数学课程，防止数学成为URM STEM学生进步的障碍；4)增加URM STEM学生获得高质量教师指导的研究经验的机会；5)为URM学生准备并促进他们无缝过渡到STEM研究生课程；以及6)制定和实施一项全联盟范围的传播计划，包括一个互动网站，以有效地沟通和传播信息。这些目标支持了国家科学基金会的战略目标，即“培养一支世界级的、广泛包容的科学和工程劳动力队伍，并扩大所有公民的科学素养。”为了支持这些目标，联盟范围内的活动包括年度研究会议和联盟特别工作组在辅助学习、交流、社区学院途径、企业参与和数学课程改革方面的活动。该联盟每个伙伴机构的高影响力实践包括咨询和转学支持服务、桥梁/提前到达计划、辅导、同行指导、教师指导和本科生研究以及专业发展。值得注意的是，四所社区学院中的每一所都与该联盟的一所四年制院校位于同一座城市，该联盟的一个主要重点是为URM提供可行的社区学院获得STEM学位的途径。上述活动将产生更高的留校率和毕业率；此外，还将带来更有才华和更多样化的STEM工作队伍。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。
