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. Louis Stokes Regional Centers of Excellence in Broadening Participation (LSRCEs) are designed to serve as regional testbeds for outreach, knowledge-generating and diffusion activities or other activities that contribute to successful practices in STEM education. LSRCE activities may also be concentrated in the development of disciplinary research institutes.Santa Fe College, a two-year institution and the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI), a historically black university (HBCU) will implement activities of the Florida-Caribbean Louis Stokes Regional Center of Excellence in Broadening Participation (FL-C LSRCE), in conjunction with Columbia University and the Stanford Interventions Lab, Stanford University over the next three years. Administrators and faculty from several LSAMP projects, including the Florida-Georgia and University of Puerto Rico and Alabama alliances will participate as implementers of the research to practice activities and serve as consultants to the center. A practitioner/researcher collaboration, utilizing powerful psychosocial interventions to enhance social-emotional skills, is vital for college success. The FL-C LSRCE will enhance the success of students from traditionally underrepresented minority populations in STEM by developing, testing and disseminating intervention practices to reduce the impact of stereotype threat and enhance growth mindset in the face of academic challenges.Center activities will include: (1) hosting an annual conference on psychosocial interventions that provides faculty access to the research-based STEM-focused interventions and training on the importance of faculty feedback andinteraction on student success; (2) utilizing the STEM-Central hub (https://stem-central.net/). This hub will feature presentations on the impact of interventions at participating institutions and webinars that spotlight successful interventions in the K-20 STEM community to promote widespread dissemination of successful work. (3) Objective 3: provide internships for STEM faculty to increase their research expertise; (4) Conduct rigorous assessment on the interventions to meet standards for publication in peer-reviewed journals, and (5) assist participating institutions in data analysis and interpretation.This LSRCE builds on the success of UVIs NSF funded Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Undergraduate Program's Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Implementation Project, the UVI Growth Model, integrating growth mindset training into the STEM undergraduate programming and Santa Fe College's NSF-funded IUSE projects in geosciences.Through existing collaborations with the Stanford University Interventions Lab and the Lab of Intergroup Relations and the Social Mind at Columbia University, the FL-C LSRCE will develop easily deployed STEM mindset interventions and training on the impact of STEM faculty feedback on student mindset. The comprehensive evaluation findings and interventions will be widely disseminated through the STEM Central portal, AAAS Open Forum portal and other collaborative STEM networking platforms, the institutions' websites and other venues (conference presentations and production of scholarly research).This award is co-funded by NSF INCLUDES which focuses on catalyzing the STEM enterprise to collaboratively work for inclusive change.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。 路易斯·斯托克斯扩大参与区域卓越中心（LSRCEs）旨在作为外联，知识生成和传播活动或其他有助于STEM教育成功实践的活动的区域试验台。 圣达菲学院是一所两年制学院，维尔京群岛大学是一所历史悠久的黑人大学，将实施佛罗里达-加勒比路易斯·斯托克斯地区扩大参与英才中心的活动。（FL-C LSRCE），与哥伦比亚大学和斯坦福大学干预实验室，斯坦福大学在未来三年。 来自几个LSAMP项目的管理人员和教师，包括佛罗里达州佐治亚州和波多黎各大学和亚拉巴马联盟将作为研究实践活动的实施者参加，并担任该中心的顾问。 从业者/研究人员的合作，利用强大的心理社会干预来增强社交情感技能，对于大学的成功至关重要。FL-C LSRCE将通过开发、测试和传播干预实践来减少刻板印象威胁的影响，并在面临学术挑战时增强成长心态，从而提高传统上代表性不足的少数民族学生在STEM领域的成功。中心活动将包括：（1）举办心理社会干预年度会议，为教师提供基于研究的STEM-针对教师反馈和互动对学生成功的重要性进行重点干预和培训;（2）利用STEM中心（https：//stem-central.net/）。 该中心将介绍参与机构的干预措施的影响，并举办网络研讨会，重点介绍K-20 STEM社区的成功干预措施，以促进成功工作的广泛传播。 (3)目标三：为STEM教师提供实习机会，以提高他们的研究专业知识;（4）对干预措施进行严格评估，以满足在同行评审期刊上发表的标准，以及（5）协助参与机构进行数据分析和解释。该LSRCE建立在UVIs NSF资助的历史黑人学院和大学-本科生计划实现竞争卓越（ACE）实施项目的成功基础上，UVI成长模型，将成长思维训练融入STEM本科课程和圣达菲学院NSF资助的IUSE地球科学项目。通过与斯坦福大学干预实验室和哥伦比亚大学的群体间关系和社会心理实验室的现有合作，FL-C LSRCE将开发易于部署的STEM思维干预措施，并就STEM教师反馈对学生思维的影响进行培训。 综合评价结果和干预措施将通过STEM中央门户网站、美国科学促进会开放论坛门户网站和其他STEM协作网络平台广泛传播，各机构的网站和其他场所（会议报告和学术研究成果）。该奖项是共同的，该奖项由NSF资助，重点是催化STEM企业为包容性变革而合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定基金会的使命是履行其使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评价，被认为值得支持。
