The New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (NM AMP), part of the nation-wide Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, is a mature Alliance of seven public universities and seven public 2-year colleges. Collaborators include industry partners; two National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) projects; the NSF-funded New Mexico EPSCoR project; the New Mexico Math, Engineering, Science Achievement program (New Mexico MESA, Inc.); and the Arizona-based LSAMP, the Western Alliance to Expand Student Opportunities (WAESO). The NMAMP provides support services and funding opportunities for Under Represented Minority (URM) students pursuing careers in STEM fields in the state of New Mexico. In Phase VI of the program, which will be years 26 through 30 of the program, NM AMP will include a social science/educational research component will seek to better understand the roles and interactions of students and faculty mentors in the development of scientists and engineers, and to better inform the design, execution, and assessment of such programs. Over the lifetime of NM AMP, the number of STEM B.S. degrees awarded annually to URMs in New Mexico has increased from 253 in 1992-93 to 858 in 2015-16. During the same time period, the percentage of B.S. STEM degrees awarded to URM students increased from 24% to 48%.Phase VI on NM AMP will accomplish the following: 1) Sustain proven strategies and activities, 2) Implement enhancements to further improve students' educational experiences and prepare them for the STEM workforce and/or graduate studies; 3) Contribute to the development of institutional contexts that support URM student achievement through an innovative new faculty development workshop, and 4) Conduct social science research to further understand and disseminate findings on the challenges for URM students in STEM. The NM AMP Pathway supports URM students at partnering two- and four-year institutions and provides them with multiple opportunities to explore STEM programs and careers, engage in undergraduate research, and participate in additional programs and opportunities that support early career exploration, the development of STEM identity, and foster self-efficacy and the self-directed pursuit of academic and career goals. The Pathway rejects deficit-based thinking that assumes students lack either qualities or abilities for achievement and, instead, embraces a strengths-based approach that recognizes the unique contributions and interests of individual students and provides them with guidance and experiences that enable each student to achieve his or her full potential. Evidence-based activities along the Pathway include undergraduate research experiences (domestic and international), professional development events, and skills-building workshops. The alliance will also support changes in institutional climate to increase learning and retention of URM students in STEM. New activities and priorities include the following: 1) Implement a rigorous, mixed methods social science research project focused on better understanding the factors that shape students' scientific identity and STEM retention, including dissemination of outcomes in quick turnaround mini-studies and peer-review articles; 2) Enhance student support activities with the addition of entry level stipends that provide opportunities for students to explore research options early in their college careers, a Professional Development Webinar Series, and an E-Portfolio option; and 3) Pilot a new Context Diversity Faculty Development Workshop to promote effective change in learning environments to better support URM student achievement.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.

新墨西哥州少数民族参与联盟（NM AMP）是全国性的路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟的一部分，是七所公立大学和七所公立两年制学院的成熟联盟。合作者包括行业合作伙伴;两个国家科学基金会（NSF）工程研究中心（ERC）项目; NSF资助的新墨西哥州EPSCoR项目;新墨西哥州数学，工程，科学成就计划（新墨西哥州梅萨公司）;以及总部位于亚利桑那州的LSAMP，即西部联盟扩大学生机会（WAESO）。NMAMP为在新墨西哥州从事STEM领域职业的少数民族（URM）学生提供支持服务和资助机会。在该计划的第六阶段，这将是26年到30年的计划，NM AMP将包括社会科学/教育研究部分将寻求更好地了解学生和教师导师在科学家和工程师的发展中的作用和互动，并更好地告知这些计划的设计，执行和评估。在NM AMP的生命周期内，STEM B.S.新墨西哥州每年授予URM的学位从1992-93年的253个增加到2015-16年的858个。在同一时期，B.S.授予URM学生的STEM学位从24%增加到48%。NM AMP的第六阶段将实现以下目标：1）维持经过验证的战略和活动，2）实施增强措施，以进一步改善学生的教育体验，并为STEM劳动力和/或研究生学习做好准备; 3）通过创新的教师发展研讨会，促进支持URM学生成绩的机构环境的发展，和4）进行社会科学研究，以进一步了解和传播关于URM学生在STEM方面面临的挑战的研究结果。NM AMP Pathway支持URM学生在合作两年制和四年制机构，并为他们提供多种机会来探索STEM课程和职业，从事本科研究，并参与支持早期职业探索，STEM身份发展的其他课程和机会，并培养自我效能感和自我导向的追求学术和职业目标。该途径拒绝基于缺陷的思想，假设学生缺乏成就的素质或能力，而是拥抱一个基于优势的方法，承认个别学生的独特贡献和兴趣，并为他们提供指导和经验，使每个学生都能实现他或她的全部潜力。循证活动沿着路径包括本科生研究经验（国内和国际），专业发展活动和技能建设研讨会。 该联盟还将支持机构气候的变化，以增加URM学生在STEM的学习和保留。 新的活动和优先事项包括：1）实施严格的混合方法社会科学研究项目，重点是更好地了解塑造学生科学身份和STEM保留的因素，包括传播快速周转小型研究和同行评审文章的成果;（二）加强学生支持活动，增加入门级津贴，为学生提供在大学早期探索研究选择的机会职业生涯，专业发展网络研讨会系列，和电子投资组合选项;和3）试点一个新的上下文多样性教师发展研讨会，以促进学习环境的有效变化，以更好地支持URM学生的成就。这个奖项反映了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。
