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.

Louis Stokes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代表性不足的少数族裔人口的学生数量，以成功完成STEM的高质量学位课程。加州中央海岸社区学院合作(C6)LSAMP通向文凭学生的桥梁(B2B)是由STEM项目和来自八所社区学院的领导人开发的创新、跨学科和多机构合作项目，这八所社区学院分别是艾伦·汉考克学院(AHC)、卡布里略学院、奎斯塔学院、蒙特利半岛学院(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联盟将推出一个模式，说明社区大学STEM项目如何在成员机构中协作和利用现有的支持结构和最佳实践，以解决STEM结果中的不平等问题，解决那些经常被忽视的学生群体：第一代拉美裔/拉丁裔和农村地区的其他URM。C6联盟将作为加州其他社区大学合作的典范，以增加增长最快的人口-拉美裔/拉丁裔学生的STEM转学。该项目的具体目标是(1)缩小西班牙裔STEM入门课程的成功率差距；(2)增加西班牙裔STEM学生转学到大学的人数；(3)举办秋季研究研讨会，庆祝CC学生的研究和项目经验；以及(4)提高学生对自己的学术道路和对STEM的归属感的认识。此外，C6联盟的行业合作伙伴关系旨在提高行业对社区大学URM学生群体多样化和尚未开发的潜力的认识。从长远来看，这将极大地惠及行业合作伙伴和学生，并将增加该项目的覆盖面和可持续性，以及在资助期之后的类似合作。结果和经验教训将通过联盟网站、在国家会议上的演讲以及向其他社区学院和该地区和州内的潜在合作伙伴传播。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。
