The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in their efforts to significantly increase the numbers of students matriculating into and successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to diversify the STEM workforce. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming undergraduate STEM education through innovative, evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies, and relevant educational experiences in support of populations underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. These strategies facilitate the production of well-prepared students highly qualified and motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM.For the United States (U.S.) to remain globally competitive, it is vital that it taps into the talent of all its citizens and provides exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. The Iowa-Illinois-Nebraska STEM Partnership for Innovation in Research and Education LSAMP (IINSPIRE) program was established in 2011 in response to the need for a more diverse and skilled technical workforce. The 16 two-year and four-year colleges and universities that make up the Alliance are diverse and include 10 four-year institutions, five community colleges, and one tribal college. The institutions are Augustana College, Des Moines Area Community College, Doane University, Eastern Iowa Community College District, Grinnell College, Hawkeye Community College, Iowa State University, Iowa Valley Community College District, Kirkwood Community College, Little Priest Tribal College, Luther College, Nebraska Wesleyan University, University of Iowa, University of Northern Iowa, Upper Iowa University, and Wartburg College. The goal of the Alliance is to increase the number of STEM baccalaureate degrees awarded annually, and increase the community college transfer enrollment, and to enroll a cohort of Alliance students in STEM graduate programs. These goals will be accomplished by continuing successful programming from previous years and by expanding the campus-specific student experience model, in which each campus customizes a general model based on their own needs and contexts. The models include various high-impact practices, including undergraduate research experiences. This approach enables campus leaders to share effective practices and learn from one another. It is central to supporting institutionalization and sustainability in different academic environments. These goals support the National Science Foundation's strategic goal to "cultivate a world-class, broadly inclusive science and engineering workforce, and expand the scientific literacy of all citizens."The Alliance's broadening participation research is guided by two questions: (1) How does participation in IINSPIRE LSAMP mediate students’ goals over time? (2) How does the IINSPIRE LSAMP alliance create an intentional network to broaden the participation of racially and ethnically minoritized students across STEM fields? A blended theoretical framework drawing on community cultural wealth, intersectionality, and social cognitive career theory facilitates studying both individual student experiences and contextual factors. This research is also investigating how alliance institutions engage students in STEM fields, including newer, emergent fields, such as artificial intelligence, data science, cybersecurity, and quantum science and technology. Preparation and partnerships in these fields is a broader impact of the project.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）计划协助大学和学院努力显著增加学生入学人数并成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的高质量学位课程，以使STEM劳动力多样化。特别强调通过创新的、基于证据的招聘和保留策略以及相关的教育经验来转变本科STEM教育，以支持STEM学科中代表性不足的人群：非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民岛民。这些策略促进了准备充分的学生的生产高素质和积极性，以追求研究生教育或在STEM的职业生涯。为了保持全球竞争力，它必须利用所有公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供卓越的教育准备。Iowa-Illinois-Nebraska STEM Partnership for Innovation in Research and Education LSAMP（IINSPIRE）计划成立于2011年，旨在满足对更加多样化和熟练的技术劳动力的需求。组成联盟的16所两年制和四年制学院和大学是多样化的，包括10所四年制机构，5所社区学院和1所部落学院。这些机构是奥古斯塔纳学院、得梅因地区社区学院、多恩大学、东爱荷华州社区学院区、格林内尔学院、豪克耶社区学院、爱荷华州州立大学、爱荷华州山谷社区学院区、柯克伍德社区学院、小牧师部落学院、路德学院、内布拉斯加卫斯理大学、爱荷华州大学、北方爱荷华州大学、上爱荷华州大学和瓦特堡学院。该联盟的目标是增加每年颁发的STEM学士学位的数量，增加社区学院转学生的入学人数，并招收一批联盟学生参加STEM研究生课程。这些目标将通过继续前几年的成功编程和扩大校园特定的学生体验模型来实现，每个校园都根据自己的需求和背景定制一个通用模型。这些模型包括各种高影响力的做法，包括本科研究经验。这种方法使校园领导者能够分享有效的做法，并相互学习。它是支持不同学术环境中的制度化和可持续性的核心。这些目标支持美国国家科学基金会的战略目标，即“培养世界一流的、广泛包容的科学和工程劳动力，扩大所有公民的科学素养。“联盟扩大参与研究的指导是两个问题：（1）如何参与IINSPIRE LSAMP调解学生的目标随着时间的推移？(2)IINSPIRE LSAMP联盟如何创建一个有意识的网络，以扩大STEM领域种族和民族少数群体学生的参与？一个混合的理论框架，借鉴社区文化财富，交叉性和社会认知职业生涯理论，有利于研究学生个人的经验和背景因素。这项研究还调查了联盟机构如何让学生参与STEM领域，包括人工智能，数据科学，网络安全和量子科学技术等新兴领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
