The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically under-represented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Promotion of Underrepresented Minorities in Academic STEM (PUMA-STEM) alliance, under the leadership of Elmhurst College, is a STEM Pathways and Implementation-Only (SPIO) alliance in partnership with Benedictine University, Concordia University Chicago, Dominican University, Lewis University, North Central College, Saint Xavier University and the College of DuPage. Participating institutions are also Hispanic-Serving or emerging Hispanic-Serving. All institutions are predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs). It is hypothesized that an alliance of small PUIs can successfully increase recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority students in STEM fields by developing a committed regional network of institutions working together to develop support programs and build communities thus becoming a model for replication to other institutions.The goal of the alliance is to double the number of historically underrepresented minority students completing baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields. To achieve its goals, the alliance will implement interventions such as faculty and peer mentoring, high-quality research experiences (including opportunities for community college students transferring to four year schools) and programs to promote inclusive experiences and a sense of belonging in STEM fields. Project results will be disseminated to other colleges and universities, including community colleges, especially those with largely commuter, Hispanic or other underrepresented minority student populations. Effective dissemination will be aided via collaboration with the Louis Stokes Midwest Regional Center of Excellence (LSMRCE), which offers annual meetings attended by other alliances as well as dissemination through the alliance website, scholarly publications and professional conferences on teaching and learning.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.

Louis Stokes少数族裔参与联盟(LSAMP)计划帮助大学和学院通过努力显著增加成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科的高质量学位课程的学生数量，使STEM劳动力多样化。特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留战略和经验来改变STEM教育，以支持在STEM学科中历来代表性不足的群体：非洲裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美洲印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。在埃尔姆赫斯特学院的领导下，促进学术STEM中代表不足的少数族裔(PUMA-STEM)联盟是一个STEM途径和实施(SPIO)联盟，与本笃会大学、芝加哥康科迪亚大学、多米尼加大学、刘易斯大学、北中央学院、圣泽维尔大学和杜佩奇学院合作。参与机构也是为拉美裔服务或为新兴拉美裔服务的机构。所有院校主要是本科院校(PUI)。假设一个小型PUI联盟可以成功地增加STEM领域中代表性不足的少数族裔学生的招生和留住，方法是发展一个坚定的地区性机构网络，共同努力制定支持计划并建立社区，从而成为复制到其他机构的典范。该联盟的目标是将完成STEM领域学士学位的历史上代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量翻一番。为了实现其目标，该联盟将实施干预措施，如教师和同行指导、高质量的研究体验(包括社区大学生转到四年制学校的机会)以及促进STEM领域包容性体验和归属感的计划。项目成果将传播到其他学院和大学，包括社区学院，特别是那些主要通勤、西班牙裔或其他代表性较低的少数族裔学生群体的学院。有效的传播将通过与路易斯斯托克斯中西部地区卓越中心(LSMRCE)的合作得到帮助，该中心提供其他联盟参加的年度会议，以及通过联盟网站、学术出版物和关于教学和学习的专业会议进行传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
