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)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未被充分代表的少数民族人口的学生数量，从而成功完成STEM的高质量学位课程。南方大学和路易斯安那州少数民族参与联盟(LS-LAMP)的牵头机构南方大学和A&amp；M学院由该州12所为期两年和四年的机构和一个研究机构组成的联盟组成。路易斯安那州立大学-亚历山大大学和路易斯安那理工大学将在未来五年加入联盟的现有成员。该联盟位于NSF设立的激励竞争研究(EPSCoR)管辖权计划中，将通过该项目扩大其研究和教育能力，提供多达1,060个新的STEM学士学位，并在2025年前保留其中25%的学生攻读STEM研究生课程。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，并解决在参与和留住STEM学生方面成功做法的可持续性和制度化问题。具体地说，该联盟将与能源部(DoE)国家实验室和两个路易斯斯托克斯地区英才中心项目以及其他公共和私营部门组织合作。将继续为STEM少数民族本科生实施十链系统辅导模式(生态系统)和教学、辅导和学习方面的最佳做法。该项目的扩大参与研究部分将(1)调查低社会经济地位和/或少数群体地位对留校率和毕业率的关系，以及(2)将量化十链系统指导模式对学生留校率和按时毕业的影响。项目结果将通过联盟和合作伙伴机构的网站传播给STEM社区。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 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.
