Louis Stokes Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Pathways and Research Alliances: Louis Stokes Louisiana Alliance for Minority Participation (LS-LAMP)2020-25

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（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民族人口的学生数量，使他们成功完成高质量的STEM学位课程。南方大学和农工学院是路易斯·斯托克斯路易斯安那州少数民族参与联盟（LS-LAMP）的牵头机构，该联盟由该州12所两年制和四年制大学以及一个研究机构组成。路易斯安那州立大学亚历山大分校和路易斯安那理工大学将在未来五年内加入该联盟的现有成员。该联盟位于美国国家科学基金会（NSF）建立的刺激竞争性研究（EPSCoR）管辖计划中，将通过该项目扩大其研究和教育能力，到2025年，将产生多达1060个新的STEM学士学位，并保留其中25%的学生进行STEM研究生学习。这一目标将通过扩大合作伙伴关系来实现，为学生和教师提供研究经验和其他支持，并解决STEM学生参与和保留的成功实践的可持续性和制度化问题。具体而言，该联盟将与能源部（DoE）的国家实验室和两个路易斯·斯托克斯（Louis Stokes）区域卓越中心项目以及其他公共和私营部门组织合作。十股系统指导模型（生态系统）的实施和STEM少数民族本科生教学、指导和学习的最佳实践将继续下去。该项目的扩大参与研究部分将(1)调查低社会经济地位和/或少数民族地位对保留率和毕业率的关系，(2)量化十线系统指导模型对学生保留率和按时毕业的影响。项目结果将通过联盟和合作机构网站向STEM社区发布。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 to successfully complete high quality degree programs in STEM.Southern University and A&M College, lead institution for the Louis Stokes Louisiana Alliance for Minority Participation (LS-LAMP), consists of a consortium of 12 two-and four-year institutions and one research organization in the state. Louisiana State University-Alexandria and Louisiana Tech University join the existing members of the alliance over the next five years. Thealliance, located in a NSF Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) jurisdiction, will expand its research and education capabilities through this project by producing up to 1,060 new STEM baccalaureate degrees and retaining 25% of these students for STEM graduate studies by 2025. This goal will be accomplished by expanding partnerships to provide student and faculty research experiences and other support and addressing sustainability and institutionalization of successful practices in engagement and retention of STEM students. Specifically, the alliance will collaborate with Department of Energy (DoE) national laboratories and two Louis Stokes Regional Centers of Excellence projects, among other public and private sector organizations. The implementation of the Ten Strand Systemic Mentoring Model (Ecosystem) and best practices in teaching, mentoring and learning for STEM minority undergraduate students will continue. The broadening participation research component of the project will (1) investigate the relationship that low socio-economic status and/or minority status has on retention and graduation rates and (2) will quantify the impact that the Ten-Strand Systemic Mentoring Model has on student retention and on-time graduation. Project results will be disseminated via the alliance and partner institution websites to the STEM community.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.
