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

路易斯斯托克斯STEM路径与研究联盟：纽约州立大学(SUNY LSAMP)将由奥尔巴尼大学牵头，合作机构包括宾厄姆顿大学、布法罗大学、石溪大学、布法罗州立学院、新帕尔茨学院、老韦斯特伯里学院、哈德逊谷社区学院、罗克兰社区学院和纽约州立大学系统管理。纽约州立大学LSAMP将实施全面、循证和持续的方法，扩大非裔美国人/黑人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔美国人、美国印第安人/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(历史上代表不足的少数族裔或URM)学生的参与。纽约州立大学LSAMP的目标是：(1)通过新的学生研讨会、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、保留率和学士学位升级率；(2)通过纽约州立大学无缝转学倡议，通过与纽约州立大学(NYS)及其他地区的社区学院建立伙伴关系，提高学生从两年制院校转到四年制院校的成功率，并包括为学生从社区大学转到四年制院校做准备的活动以及综合支助服务；提高我们在招收、留住和毕业URM STEM学生方面的最佳实践知识，将有助于培养一支更加多样化的科学劳动力队伍，从而造福社会。让现有和未来的纽约州立大学LSAMP参与者参与进来，将造就一批不同的、积极参与的协作学者，他们最终将成为并领导我们未来的STEM劳动力和研究。

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.
