Louis Stokes Regional Center of Excellence for the Study of STEM Interventions

Louis Stokes少数族裔参与联盟(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不足的少数族裔(URM)(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。路易·斯托克斯扩大STEM参与英才中心(LSRCE)是创新STEM教育和扩大参与的典范地点。路易斯·斯托克斯STEM扩大参与区域英才中心(LSRCE-SOSI)由密苏里哥伦比亚大学领导，与密歇根大学和非营利组织了解干预措施合作，将为循证研究中的培训和发展提供场所，以实践STEM扩大参与。该项目通过将不同的机构类型(多数人和少数人服务)整合到致力于改革高等教育的现有学者社区，扩大了以代表性不足的少数族裔学生为重点的批判性社会认知知情奖学金的覆盖范围。项目评估将在业务、方案和研究生产力层面对项目进行评估。新的奖学金将通过了解干预会议、期刊和其他场所传播，并将在全国高等教育机构之间共享。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 to significantly increase the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority (URM) 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 Louis Stokes Centers of Excellence in Broadening Participation in STEM (LSRCE) serve as exemplar sites in innovative STEM education and broadening participation.The Louis Stokes Regional Center of Excellence in STEM Broadening Participation Study of STEM Interventions (LSRCE-SOSI), led by the University of Missouri-Columbia in collaboration with the University of Michigan and the non-profit organization, Understanding Interventions, will provide venues for training and development in evidence-based research to practice in STEM broadening participation. The project expands the reach of critical social-cognitive informed scholarship focused on underrepresented minority students by integrating different institution types (majority and minority-serving) into the existing communities of scholars dedicated to transforming higher education. Project evaluation will assess the project at the operational, programmatic, and research productivity levels. New scholarship will be disseminated through Understanding Interventions conferences, journals, other venues, and will be shared among higher education institutions in the nation.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.
