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. The Puget Sound Bridge to the Baccalaureate Alliance (PS-B2B) focuses on undergraduate research experiences to develop participants’ STEM identity to prepare underrepresented minority (URM) community college students for successful transfer to and completion of STEM baccalaureate degrees. PS-B2B will use evidence-based strategies focused on expanding undergraduate research experiences throughout the Alliance and implementation of evidence based best practices to develop participants’ STEM identity in support of student success. Activities will include further developing an Alliance-wide recruitment plan, a diversity of meeting opportunities for LSAMP scholars to build community, increased and focused opportunities for undergraduate research experiences including integration into STEM ‘gateway’ courses, mentoring training for faculty who will be guiding students in research activities, and guidance in the process for transferring to a four year program. The Alliance will form a Community of Practice to develop and disseminate successful approaches to undergraduate research experiences for community college students. Alliance activities will be supported by existing partners within the Alliance as well as external community partners, including the three University of Washington institutions and other regional institutions including those in the Pacific Northwest LSAMP. Transfer to four-year programs will be facilitated by statewide transfer articulation agreements that are already in place among the Washington institutions. Comprehensive project evaluation with the support and participation of both the leadership team and an external evaluator will form the basis for achieving project goals and disseminating successful strategies.PS-B2B is led by North Seattle College in partnership with Green River College and Pierce College, with regional four year institutions as informal partners and points of transfer. PS-B2B builds on existing statewide articulations between community colleges and four year institutions to bolster a region-wide effort in STEM degree attainment and career achievement.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。Puget Sound Bridge to the Baccalaureate Alliance(PS-B2B)侧重于本科生的研究经验，以培养参与者的STEM身份，为成功转学和完成STEM学士学位做好代表不足的少数族裔(URM)社区大学生的准备。PS-B2B将使用循证战略，重点是在整个联盟范围内扩大本科生的研究经验，并实施基于证据的最佳实践，以发展参与者的STEM身份，以支持学生的成功。活动将包括进一步制定全联盟范围的招聘计划，为LSAMP学者提供建立社区的各种见面机会，增加和集中本科生研究经验的机会，包括融入STEM“门户”课程，对将在研究活动中指导学生的教师进行指导培训，以及在过渡到四年制项目的过程中提供指导。该联盟将形成一个实践共同体，为社区学院的学生开发和传播成功的本科生研究经验方法。联盟的活动将得到联盟内现有合作伙伴以及外部社区合作伙伴的支持，包括华盛顿大学的三个机构和其他区域机构，包括太平洋西北地区南部和南部非洲区域管理计划的机构。华盛顿各机构之间已经达成的全州范围内的转学衔接协议，将促进向四年制项目的转学。在领导小组和一名外部评估员的支持和参与下进行的全面项目评估将成为实现项目目标和传播成功战略的基础。PS-B2B由北西雅图学院牵头，与绿河学院和皮尔斯学院合作，区域四年制机构作为非正式合作伙伴和转移点。PS-B2B建立在社区学院和四年制院校之间现有的全州范围内的衔接基础上，以支持整个地区在STEM学位获得和职业成就方面的努力。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。
