FGLSAMP DRIVE 2020-2025

路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（LSAMP）项目帮助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）劳动力的多样化，通过努力显著增加历史上代表性不足的少数族裔（非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民）学生的数量，夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民)成功完成高质量的STEM学位课程。佛罗里达农工大学（FAMU）是佛罗里达-乔治亚州路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（FGLSAMP）和传统黑人大学（HBCU）的牵头机构，由该地区14所两年制和四年制大学组成。该联盟由三家西班牙裔服务机构（hsi）、两家新兴hsi和四家hbcu组成。在接下来的五年里，这个名为“通过创新和虚拟体验培养研究人员”（DRIVE）的项目将继续增加STEM本科生的入学率和学位的产生，并扩大STEM的参与研究和评估活动。该项目将调查非认知属性，这些属性有助于STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的人群的持久性和学位完成状况。本项目由美国国家科学基金会本科教育部（DUE）的改善本科STEM教育（IUSE）计划提供共同资金，因为项目的重要方面与IUSE的总体目标一致。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。

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. Florida A&M University (FAMU), lead institution for the Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP) and historically black university (HBCU), consists of 14 two and four-year institutions in the region. The alliance consists of three Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), two emerging HSIs, and four HBCUs.Over the next five years, the project, Developing Researchers through Innovative and Virtual Experiences (DRIVE), will continue to increase STEM undergraduate enrollment and degree production in addition to STEM broadening participation research and evaluation activities. The project will investigate non-cognitive attributes that contribute to persistence and degree completion status for populations historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines.Co-funding of this project is being provided by the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program in the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) since important aspects of the project align with the overall goals of IUSE.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.
