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 populations to successfully complete high-quality degree programs in STEM. The California Central Coast Community College Collaborative (C6) LSAMP Bridge to the Baccalaureate (B2B) is an innovative, cross-disciplinary, and multi-institutional collaboration developed by STEM programs and leaders from eight community colleges, Allan Hancock College (AHC), Cabrillo College, Cuesta College, Monterey Peninsula College (MPC), Moorpark College, Oxnard College, Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) and Ventura College. The C6 Alliance will launch a model for how community college STEM programs can collaborate and leverage existing support structures and best practices across the member institutions to address inequities in STEM outcomes for a population of students who are too often ignored: first-generation Hispanic/Latinx and other URMs in rural areas. The C6 Alliance will serve as a model to other California community colleges on collaborations to increase STEM transfers in the fastest growing demographic – Hispanic/Latinx students. The specific goals of the project are (1) Narrow the Hispanic success rate gap in STEM gateway courses; (2) Increase the number of Hispanic STEM students transferring to universities (3) Hold Fall Research Symposia to celebrate CC student research and project experiences; and (4) Increase student awareness of their academic path and their sense of belonging in STEM. In addition, the C6 Alliance's industry partnerships are designed to increase industry awareness of community college URM student populations' diverse and untapped potential. This will greatly benefit industry partners and students in the long term and will add to the reach and sustainability of the project and similar collaborations beyond the grant period. Results and lessons learned will be disseminated via an alliance website, presentations at national conferences, and to other community colleges and potential collaboratives within the region and state.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·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划帮助大学和学院通过努力使科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力多样化，以显着增加来自历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口的学生人数，以成功完成STEM的高质量学位课程。该加州中央海岸社区学院协作（C6）LSAMP桥梁学士学位（B2B）是一个创新的，跨学科的，和多机构的合作开发的干程序和领导人从八个社区学院，艾伦汉考克学院（AHC），卡布里洛学院，奎斯塔学院，蒙特雷半岛学院（MPC），穆尔帕克学院，奥克斯纳德学院，圣巴巴拉城市学院（SBCC）和文图拉学院。C6联盟将推出一个模型，说明社区大学STEM项目如何合作，并利用成员机构现有的支持结构和最佳实践，以解决经常被忽视的学生群体在STEM成果方面的不平等问题：第一代西班牙裔/拉丁裔和农村地区的其他URM。C6联盟将成为其他加州社区学院合作的典范，以增加增长最快的人口-西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生的STEM转移。该项目的具体目标是（1）缩小STEM门户课程中西班牙裔成功率差距;（2）增加转学到大学的西班牙裔STEM学生数量（3）举办秋季研究研讨会，庆祝CC学生的研究和项目经验;和（4）提高学生对其学术道路的认识以及他们在STEM领域的归属感。此外，C6联盟的行业合作伙伴关系旨在提高行业对社区学院URM学生群体多样性和未开发潜力的认识。从长远来看，这将使行业合作伙伴和学生受益匪浅，并将增加该项目的覆盖面和可持续性，以及赠款期之后的类似合作。 结果和经验教训将通过联盟网站，在全国会议上的演讲，并在该地区和国家内的其他社区学院和潜在的合作者传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。
