Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research Alliance: Greater Philadelphia Region LSAMP (Philadelphia AMP)

Louis Stokes少数民族参与联盟(LSAMP)计划帮助大学和学院使科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)劳动力多样化，努力显著增加来自历史上代表性较低的少数群体(非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美国印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民)的学生数量，成功完成STEM的高质量学位课程。根据LSAMP的使命，大费城地区少数族裔参与路易斯·斯托克斯联盟(Philadelphia AMP)将继续开展STEM路径和研究联盟(SPRA)活动，包括一项关于学生身份和STEM职业探索的新的创新研究。费城AMP由九个不同的机构组成，它们合作实现了扩大STEM参与的共同使命。该联盟将利用其业务基础设施提高其伙伴机构的能力，以招聘、留住和毕业更多未被充分代表的少数族裔STEM学生(通过大幅扩大其吸引、培养和支持STEM学生人才的能力)。具体地说，费城AMP计划建议实现以下方案目标：a)增加学生参与度，留住学生，并为代表不足的种族和族裔群体提供STEM学士学位；b)加强机构内和机构间的伙伴关系和合作，包括社区学院的连接，使代表不足的学生能够成功地从STEM项目的两年制院校转到四年制院校，并与其他NSF和/或其他联邦资助项目建立伙伴关系/合作；c)增加学生获得高质量STEM指导以及国内和国际本科生研究经验的机会；d)促进代表不足的学生无缝过渡到STEM研究生课程；E)加强记录学生的成就和走向研究生学习和/或行业；以及f)刺激、记录、出版和传播关于扩大STEM学科参与的新研究和学习，因为它涉及将学生学习作为探索和采取措施随着时间的推移实现STEM职业认同的综合过程。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。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority populations (African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders) to successfully complete high quality degree programs in STEM. In accordance with the LSAMP mission, the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Philadelphia AMP) will continue to execute its STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (SPRA) activity by including a new and innovative research on student identity and exploration of STEM careers. The Philadelphia AMP consists of nine diverse institutions that collaborate to realize a common mission of broadening participation in STEM. The Alliance will utilize its operational infrastructure to increase the capacity of its partner institutions to recruit, retain and graduate more underrepresented minority STEM students (by substantially expanding their capabilities to attract, develop and support STEM student talent). Specifically, Philadelphia AMP proposes to accomplish the following programmatic objectives: a) increase student engagement, retention, and progression to STEM baccalaureate degrees for underrepresented racial and ethnic groups; b) increase intra-and inter -institutional partnerships and collaborations, including community college connectivity enabling the successful transfer of underrepresented students from 2-year to 4-year institutions in STEM programs, as well as partnerships / collaborations with other NSF and/or other federally-funded programs; c) increase student access to high quality STEM mentoring, and national and international undergraduate research experiences; d) facilitate seamless transition of underrepresented students into STEM graduate programs; e) Enhance documentation of student accomplishments and movement to graduate study and /or industry; and f) stimulate, document, publish, and disseminate new research and learning on broadening participation in STEM disciplines as it relates to operationalizing and examining student learning as an integrated process of exploring and taking steps to attain STEM career identities over time.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.
