Louis Stokes New STEM Pathways and Research Alliance: State University of New York (SUNY)

Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research Alliance：州立大学of纽约（SUNY LSAMP）将由奥尔巴尼大学领导，合作机构包括宾厄姆顿大学、布法罗大学、斯托尼布鲁克大学、布法罗州立学院、新帕尔茨学院、旧韦斯特伯里学院、哈德逊谷社区学院、罗克兰社区学院和SUNY System Administration。SUNY LSAMP将实施全面，循证和持续的方法，以扩大非裔美国人/黑人，西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人，美洲印第安人/美洲原住民，阿拉斯加原住民，夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民（历史上代表性不足的少数民族或URM）学生在STEM中的参与。SUNY LSAMP旨在：（1）通过新生研讨会，全面的学年支持服务以及提高能力和制度化的伙伴关系，提高学生的参与度，保留率和学士学位的进展;（2）通过SUNY无缝转学计划，通过与纽约州（NYS）及其他地区的社区学院的合作，提高学生从两年制学校成功转学到四年制学校的比率，包括为学生从社区学院转入四年制院校做准备的活动，以及全面的支助服务;（3）通过联盟范围内的本科生暑期研究计划，支持学术和行业研究机会的行业合作伙伴关系，增加获得高质量STEM指导以及本科生和研究生研究经验的机会，以及全面的资源，帮助参与者申请和获得研究经验;（4）通过初级研究生院准备讲习班，增加学生无缝过渡到STEM研究生课程和学位完成，全面的资源，以帮助参与者申请，确保录取，并资助研究生教育，整合纽约州立大学的促进招聘，机会，多样性，包容性，增长（PRODiG）计划，并与研究生院合作，以及纽约州立大学研究生多样性奖学金计划和研究生机会计划;以及（5）通过“通过过渡促进（STEM）身份认同（FIT）”研究，与教师，员工和行业合作伙伴合作，开发文化上敏感的指导，并建立更具包容性的学习和工作环境，重点关注STEM中的平等思想，利用纽约州教育部资助的科学技术入学计划，提供K-12外展服务，并确定URM STEM本科招生的最佳实践，并整合突出研究成果的评估和传播计划，联盟的共同成功和我们的联盟合作伙伴的个人贡献。鉴于美国不断变化的人口结构和STEM劳动力需求，提高我们对招聘，保留和毕业URM STEM学生的最佳实践的了解将通过准备更多样化的科学劳动力来造福社会。参与当前和未来的SUNY LSAMP参与者将创建一个多元化的参与合作学者谁最终将成为和领导我们未来的干劳动力和研究池。纽约州立大学LSAMP参与者的成果和研究将被公布，以鼓励更多的学生参与，从培养（STEM）通过过渡（FIT）研究的身份研究的结果将传播给科学界，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

The Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research Alliance: State University of New York (SUNY LSAMP) will be led by the University at Albany, with partner institutions Binghamton University, University at Buffalo, Stony Brook University, Buffalo State College, College at New Paltz, College at Old Westbury, Hudson Valley Community College, Rockland Community College, and SUNY System Administration. SUNY LSAMP will implement comprehensive, evidence-based, and sustained approaches to broadening the participation of African American/Black, Hispanic/Latinx American, American Indian/Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islander (historically underrepresented minority or URM) students in STEM. SUNY LSAMP aims to: (1) increase individual student engagement, retention, and progression to baccalaureate degrees through new student seminars, comprehensive academic year support services, and partnerships that increase capacity and institutionalization; (2) increase the rate of successful transfer of students from two-year to four-year institutions through the SUNY Seamless Transfer initiative, through partnerships with community colleges across NY State (NYS) and beyond, and include activities that prepare students for transfer from community colleges to four-year institutions, and comprehensive support services; (3) increase access to high quality STEM mentoring and undergraduate and graduate research experiences through an Alliance-wide undergraduate summer research program, industry partnerships that support academic and industry research opportunities, and comprehensive resources to assist participants to apply and secure research experiences; (4) increase seamless transition of students into STEM graduate programs and degree completion though junior level graduate school preparation workshops, comprehensive resources to assist participants to apply, secure admission to, and fund graduate education, integration of the SUNY’s Promoting Recruitment, Opportunity, Diversity, Inclusion, Growth (PRODiG) Program, and partnerships with graduate schools, and the SUNY Graduate Diversity Fellowship Program and Graduate Opportunity Program; and (5) stimulate new research and learning on broadening participation in STEM disciplines through the Fostering (STEM) Identity through Transition (FIT) study, collaboration with faculty, staff and industry partners to develop culturally responsive mentoring and build more inclusive learning and working environments focused on equity-mindedness in STEM, leveraging the NYS Education Department funded Science Technology Entry Program to provide K-12 outreach and identify best practices in URM STEM undergraduate enrollment, and integration of an evaluation and dissemination plan that highlights research findings, common successes of the Alliance and the individual contributions of our Alliance partners.Given the changing demographics in the U.S. and STEM workforce needs, advancing our knowledge of best practices to recruit, retain, and graduate URM STEM students will benefit society by preparing a more diverse scientific workforce. Engaging current and future SUNY LSAMP participants will create a pool of diverse engaged collaborative scholars who will ultimately become and lead our future STEM workforce and research. SUNY LSAMP participant outcomes and research will be publicized to encourage more student engagement, findings from the Fostering (STEM) Identity through the Transition (FIT) research study will be disseminated to the scientific community, and replication and institutionalization of best practices will be encouraged across SUNY and NYS.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.
