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 Puget Sound Alliance (PSAlliance) project will establish a partnership between three community colleges in the western part of Washington State, namely North Seattle College, Olympic College and Pierce College, to create a long-term plan to increase STEM degrees for traditionally underrepresented minority students. The outcome of the 18-month planning activity is submission of a full proposal for LSAMP Bridge-to-the-Baccalaureate (B2B)funding to further support community college student success and transfer to four-year STEM programs.North Seattle College will leverage knowledge generated in prior NSF funded projects to bring expertise to the design and implementation of a range of high impact practices that will serve to transform PSAlliance STEM programs. Early Undergraduate Research Experiences (UREs) will be a central theme, as well as the design of innovative recruitment and retention strategies. The planning project will increase knowledge about what is known about how early research experiences and supplemental supports impact student STEM identity, persistence and engagement in underrepresented student populations. Project outcomes will be disseminated locally and nationally through conferences and on-line STEM education journals. Findings from the planning project will benefit educational institutions and the STEM community nationally in broadening participation efforts.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.

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划通过显著增加历史上代表性不足的少数民族学生人数的努力，帮助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）劳动力的多样化（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）成功完成高质量的STEM学位课程。 普吉特海湾联盟（PSAlliance）项目将在华盛顿州西部的三所社区学院，即北西雅图学院、奥林匹克学院和皮尔斯学院之间建立合作伙伴关系，为传统上代表性不足的少数族裔学生增加STEM学位制定长期计划。 为期18个月的规划活动的结果是提交了一份完整的LSAMP桥梁到学士学位（B2B）资助提案，以进一步支持社区大学学生的成功和转移到四年制STEM课程。北西雅图学院将利用之前NSF资助的项目中产生的知识，为设计和实施一系列高影响力的实践带来专业知识，这些实践将有助于改变PSAliance STEM课程。早期本科生研究经验（URES）将是一个中心主题，以及创新的招聘和保留策略的设计。该规划项目将增加有关早期研究经验和补充支持如何影响学生STEM身份，持久性和参与代表性不足的学生群体的知识。项目成果将通过会议和在线STEM教育期刊在地方和全国范围内传播。规划项目的结果将有利于教育机构和STEM社区在全国范围内扩大参与的努力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
