The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce through efforts to significantly increase 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 STEM degree programs.The Louis Stokes Inclusive Mentoring in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (Louis Stokes IM STEM) Center of Excellence will bring together experts dedicated to investigating successful and promising practices for inclusive STEM mentoring along several STEM pathways and in various learning environments. The Center will collaborate with academic institutions, Department of Energy (DoE) national laboratories, professional societies, and regional industrial partners in researching and augmenting inclusive mentoring activities for historically underrepresented minority (URM) students and students from other underserved populations. As the student population enrolled in higher education institutions continues to diversify, a deep understanding and widespread adoption of inclusive mentoring practices that promote student success is needed. The IM STEM Center, with leadership from the lead institutions of two NSF-funded LSAMP projects - University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) and Colorado State University (CSU), will serve the Southwest Rockies region by conducting knowledge-building and diffusion activities on STEM mentoring. Collaborating non-academic organizations include the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and professional STEM organizations including the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science, and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. The three focal areas to be addressed in project activities are mentoring of community college students in transition, mentoring of undergraduate and graduate student researchers, and mentoring of experiential learning students. An advisory board consisting of Presidential Awardees of Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PASEMEM) and STEM mentoring researchers, in addition to linkages to the existing Louis Stokes Midwest Regional Center of Excellence, provides a broad national range for the Center's research and dissemination activities. The Center will disseminate inclusive mentoring knowledge via workshops, journal articles, an edited monograph, institutional websites, and other varied formats useful to diverse audiences and educational institutions. The workshops will train both mentors and trainers interested in offering their own inclusive mentoring workshops. The Center has the potential to expand, elevate and influence conversations about effective mentoring among communities of STEM faculty, graduate students, and government and industry professionals committed to developing a strong, diversified STEM workforce.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.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划帮助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 劳动力多元化，努力显着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、夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民）的学生数量，以成功完成高质量的 STEM 学位 路易斯斯托克斯科学、技术、工程和数学包容性指导 (Louis Stokes IM STEM) 卓越中心将汇集专家，致力于研究在多个 STEM 途径和各种学习环境中进行包容性 STEM 指导的成功和有前途的实践。该中心将与学术机构、能源部 (DoE) 国家实验室、专业协会和区域工业合作伙伴合作，研究和加强针对历史上代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生和来自其他服务不足群体的学生的包容性指导活动。随着高等教育机构就读的学生群体不断多元化，需要深入理解并广泛采用促进学生成功的包容性指导实践。 IM STEM 中心在两个 NSF 资助的 LSAMP 项目的牵头机构——德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校 (UTEP) 和科罗拉多州立大学 (CSU) 的领导下，将通过开展有关 STEM 指导的知识构建和传播活动，为西南落基山脉地区提供服务。合作的非学术组织包括能源部布鲁克海文国家实验室、桑迪亚国家实验室和专业 STEM 组织，包括奇卡诺/西班牙裔和美洲原住民科学促进会以及西班牙裔专业工程师协会。项目活动要解决的三个重点领域是对转型中的社区学院学生的指导、对本科生和研究生研究人员的指导以及对体验式学习学生的指导。由科学、数学和工程卓越指导总统奖得主 (PASEMEM) 和 STEM 指导研究人员组成的顾问委员会，除了与现有的路易斯斯托克斯中西部区域卓越中心的联系之外，还为该中心的研究和传播活动提供了广泛的全国范围。该中心将通过研讨会、期刊文章、编辑专着、机构网站和其他对不同受众和教育机构有用的不同形式传播包容性指导知识。这些研讨会将培训有兴趣提供自己的包容性指导研讨会的导师和培训师。该中心有潜力扩大、提升和影响 STEM 教员、研究生以及政府和行业专业人士社区之间关于有效指导的对话，致力于培养一支强大、多元化的 STEM 劳动力队伍。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
