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 Garden State LSAMP (GSLSAMP) program was established in 2009 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 New Jersey. The eight public and private institutions that make up the GSLSAMP are diverse and include one community college and seven four-year institutions, including one private institution. The institutions are Essex County College, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Kean University, Montclair State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University New Brunswick and Newark, and William Paterson University. The goal of the Alliance is to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) graduates with STEM degrees by 60% over the next five years. This goal will be accomplished by integrating GSLSAMP efforts and proven best practices into institutional, local and regional efforts that encourage success in STEM including learning communities, research experiences, academic bootcamps, collaboration with the community colleges of the Northern New Jersey Bridges to the Baccalaureate, research conferences and advisement. It will also increase the number of urban minority students from GSLSAMP institutions pursuing graduate education and international experiences by 20% through integrated research experiences and graduate school preparation and advisement. 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."The knowledge generating research study seeks to understand the factors and mechanisms related to the GSLSAMP's successes in increasing the participation of URM students in STEM from several common and uncommon sources and their subsequent graduation with an undergraduate STEM degree. The studies will potentially reveal the factors and mechanisms in the STEM academic pipeline that increase URM students' interests and efforts in pursuing graduate training and a career in STEM, which will lead to a more talented and diverse STEM workforce. An external evaluation team will implement both quantitative and qualitative instruments to assess the overall quality of the programs on the individual campuses as well as the entire alliance related to the overall goals of the project.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）项目帮助大学和学院努力显著增加进入科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科并成功完成高质量学位课程的学生人数，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策略，以及相关的教育经验来改变本科STEM教育，以支持历史上在STEM学科中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体：非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。这些策略有助于培养出准备充分、高素质、有动力追求STEM研究生教育或职业生涯的学生。美国要保持全球竞争力，至关重要的是要挖掘所有公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供卓越的教育准备。花园州LSAMP （GSLSAMP）计划成立于2009年，以响应对更多样化和熟练的技术劳动力的需求。这种需求仍然存在，在新泽西州尤其迫切。由八所公立和私立大学组成的GSLSAMP是多样化的，包括一所社区学院和七所四年制大学，其中包括一所私立大学。这些机构是埃塞克斯郡学院、费尔利·迪金森大学、肯恩大学、蒙特克莱尔州立大学、新泽西理工学院、罗格斯大学新不伦瑞克和纽瓦克分校以及威廉·帕特森大学。该联盟的目标是在未来五年内将拥有STEM学位的未被充分代表的少数族裔（URM）毕业生人数增加60%。这一目标将通过将GSLSAMP的努力和经过验证的最佳实践整合到机构、地方和区域的努力中来实现，这些努力将鼓励STEM的成功，包括学习社区、研究经验、学术训练营、与新泽西州北部通往学士学位的社区学院的合作、研究会议和咨询。它还将通过综合研究经验和研究生院准备和咨询，将GSLSAMP机构的城市少数民族学生寻求研究生教育和国际经验的人数增加20%。这些目标支持了美国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队伍，并扩大所有公民的科学素养”。知识生成研究旨在了解与GSLSAMP成功增加URM学生参与STEM相关的因素和机制，这些学生来自几个常见和不常见的来源，并随后获得本科STEM学位。这些研究将潜在地揭示STEM学术管道中的因素和机制，这些因素和机制增加了URM学生在追求STEM研究生培训和职业生涯方面的兴趣和努力，这将导致更有才华和多样化的STEM劳动力。外部评估团队将实施定量和定性工具，以评估各个校区项目的整体质量，以及与项目总体目标相关的整个联盟。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
