项目摘要

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 Pacific Northwest LSAMP (PNWLSAMP) 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 Washington. The ten public institutions that make up the Alliance are diverse and include five four-year institutions and five partnering community colleges. The institutions are Boise State University, Oregon State University, Portland State University, the University of Washington, Washington State University, the College of Western Idaho, Linn-Benton Community College, Seattle Central Community College, Yakima Valley Community College, and Portland Community College. The goal of the Alliance is to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) graduates with STEM degrees by 50% over the next five years. This goal will be accomplished by continuing successful programming from previous years while expanding its focus on leadership and mentorship. This new program will include professional development, opportunities to participate in program operations, serve as mentors, and have access to faculty mentorship. This focus will support LSAMP students in developing their scientist identity and self-efficacy through engagement in the culture of science and discussion of the role of race and social stigma in scientific training. PNWLSAMP will also increase the number of URM students from Alliance institutions pursuing graduate education by 5-10% 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 educational research study will take an assets-based and intersectional approach, examining factors that contribute to persistence in STEM for students from URM groups. The research project will include a large multi-year study and four smaller "sprint studies" conducted by researchers across the Alliance. The large study will examine how STEM students from URM groups navigate within historically exclusionary social institutional structures. It will also include a participatory action element that engages students and administrators to develop strategies for improving equity on their campuses. The sprint studies will each take place on one PNWLSAMP campus and focus on different dimensions of belonging in STEM for students from URM groups. 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）计划协助大学和学院努力显著增加学生入学人数并成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的高质量学位课程，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，以支持历史上在STEM学科中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体，如非洲裔美国人，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岛民，来改变本科STEM教育。这些策略促进了准备充分的学生的生产高素质和积极性，以追求研究生教育或在STEM的职业生涯。为了保持全球竞争力，它必须利用所有公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供卓越的教育准备。太平洋西北LSAMP（PNWLSAMP）计划成立于2009年，以应对对更多样化和熟练的技术劳动力的需求。这种需要仍然存在，在华盛顿州尤为迫切。组成联盟的10所公共机构各不相同，包括5所四年制机构和5所合作社区学院。这些机构是博伊西州立大学、俄勒冈州州立大学、波特兰州立大学、华盛顿大学、华盛顿州立大学、西爱达荷州学院、林恩-本顿社区学院、西雅图中央社区学院、亚基马谷社区学院和波特兰社区学院。该联盟的目标是在未来五年内将拥有STEM学位的代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）毕业生人数增加50%。这一目标将通过继续前几年成功的方案拟订来实现，同时扩大其对领导和辅导的重视。这一新计划将包括专业发展，参与计划运作的机会，担任导师，并有机会获得教师指导。这一重点将支持LSAMP学生通过参与科学文化和讨论种族和社会耻辱在科学培训中的作用来发展他们的科学家身份和自我效能。 PNWLSAMP还将通过综合研究经验和研究生院准备和进修，使联盟机构的URM学生人数增加5-10%。这些目标支持美国国家科学基金会的战略目标，即“培养世界一流的、广泛包容的科学和工程劳动力，扩大所有公民的科学素养。“教育研究将采取基于资产和交叉的方法，研究有助于URM群体学生坚持STEM的因素。该研究项目将包括一项大型多年研究和四项由联盟研究人员进行的较小的“冲刺研究”。这项大型研究将研究来自URM团体的STEM学生如何在历史上排斥性的社会制度结构中导航。它还将包括一个参与性行动要素，让学生和管理人员参与制定改善校园公平的战略。冲刺研究将分别在一个PNWLSAMP校园进行，并专注于URM团体学生在STEM中归属的不同维度。一个外部评估小组将实施定量和定性工具来评估各个校区以及与项目总体目标相关的整个联盟的项目的总体质量。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为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来支持。
