The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program is an alliance-based program. The overall goal of the program is to assist universities and colleges in diversifying the nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce by increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to populations historically underrepresented in these disciplines.The goal of the Tennessee Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (TLSAMP) is to significantly increase the quality and quantity of baccalaureate degrees awarded to underrepresented minority students who major in a science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) discipline. TLSAMP is a strategic collaboration of 10 institutions of higher education which began with six public and private institutions - LeMoyne Owen College, Middle Tennessee State University, Tennessee State University, the University of Memphis, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and Vanderbilt University. TLSAMP was expanded by adding four additional colleges and universities, that is, Fisk University, Tennessee Technological University, Nashville State Community College, and Southwest Tennessee Community College. TLSAMP partners share a collective interest in recruiting, cultivating, and developing the next generation of scientists, leaders, and a highly skilled workforce to ensure not only Tennessee's economic prosperity but also America's global preeminence. Over the next five years, the Alliance will increase its efforts to recruit minority STEM students, implement research-based strategies to retain students to graduation, and increase the number of minority STEM graduates that transition to graduate school. Through a mixed-method exploratory sequential design, the TLSAMP Alliance proposes to conduct a research study that examines the factors involved in mentoring students from underrepresented groups (URG) in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and who are at the critical retention to graduation academic stage. This research study will provide insights and understanding of mentoring as a strategy that fundamentally addresses the persistent need for increased participation and support of URG in STEM education and employment in STEM careers. Student mentees, their mentors, Alliance PIs, and coordinators will participate as respondents in the proposed study.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·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（LSAMP）计划是一个基于联盟的计划。 该计划的总体目标是帮助大学和学院实现国家科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）的劳动力，通过增加STEM学士学位和研究生学位的数量授予人口历史上在这些学科中代表性不足。田纳西州路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（TLSAMP）的目标该计划旨在大幅提高授予科学、技术、工程或数学（STEM）专业人数不足的少数民族学生的学士学位的质量和数量。 TLSAMP是10所高等教育机构的战略合作，最初有6所公立和私立机构- LeMoyne Owen College，Middle Tennessee州立大学，田纳西州立大学，孟菲斯大学，田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校和范德比尔特大学。 TLSAMP通过增加四所额外的学院和大学进行了扩展，即菲斯克大学，田纳西理工大学，纳什维尔州立社区学院和西南田纳西社区学院。TLSAMP的合作伙伴在招募、培养和发展下一代科学家、领导者和高技能劳动力方面有着共同的利益，不仅可以确保田纳西州的经济繁荣，还可以确保美国的全球领先地位。 在接下来的五年里，联盟将加大力度招收少数族裔STEM学生，实施以研究为基础的战略，以留住学生毕业，并增加少数族裔STEM毕业生过渡到研究生院的人数。 通过混合方法探索性序贯设计，TLSAMP联盟建议进行一项研究，探讨指导科学，技术，工程和数学中代表性不足的群体（URG）的学生所涉及的因素，这些学生正处于毕业学术阶段的关键保留期。 这项研究将提供对指导的见解和理解，作为一种战略，从根本上解决了URG在STEM教育和STEM职业就业中增加参与和支持的持续需求。 学生学员、他们的导师、联盟PI和协调员将作为受访者参与拟议的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，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估，被认为值得支持。
