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 who are highly qualified and motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM.For the United States to remain globally competitive, it is vital to tap into its citizens' talent and provide exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. The Mountain to Sea North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (M2S NCLSAMP) program has formed a new alliance in response to the need for a more diverse and skilled technical workforce. That need still exists and is particularly acute in the State of North Carolina. The five public comprehensive universities that make up the Alliance are Appalachian State University, East Carolina University, University of North Carolina Greensboro (lead), University of North Carolina Wilmington, and Western Carolina University. The goals of the Alliance are to 1) Build strong personal, professional, and disciplinary relationships across Alliance institutions; 2) Provide targeted, inclusive programming focused on supporting student transitions at critical moments in the student success pathway at Alliance institutions; and 3) Employ Alliance resources to provide more and better STEM socialization and professional development opportunities for students than they can receive on their home campuses alone. The parallel activities are projected to raise participant retention and graduation rates by 20% compared to matched non-participant students and indirectly affect many more through LSAMP student support programs available to all STEM students. In addition, assessment is designed to contribute new knowledge about how mid-sized public universities can work together to identify, address, and improve weaknesses in student support, especially at the key transition points at which the target student population disproportionally struggles.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。这些战略有助于培养准备充分的学生，他们具有很高的资格，并有动力在STEM领域追求研究生教育或职业生涯。美国要保持全球竞争力，就必须挖掘其公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供卓越的教育准备。山到海北卡罗来纳州路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（M2 S NCLSAMP）计划已经形成了一个新的联盟，以应对对更多样化和熟练的技术劳动力的需求。这种需要仍然存在，在北卡罗来纳州尤为迫切。组成联盟的五所公立综合大学是阿巴拉契亚州立大学、东卡罗莱纳大学、北卡罗来纳州格林斯伯勒大学（牵头）、北卡罗来纳州威尔明顿大学和西卡罗莱纳大学。联盟的目标是：1）在联盟机构之间建立牢固的个人，专业和学科关系; 2）提供有针对性的，包容性的计划，重点是在联盟机构学生成功途径的关键时刻支持学生过渡;和3）利用联盟资源，为学生提供更多更好的STEM社交和专业发展机会，而不是他们在他们的校园与匹配的非参与者学生相比，并行活动预计将使参与者保留率和毕业率提高20%，并通过所有STEM学生均可获得的LSAMP学生支持计划间接影响更多人。此外，评估的目的是提供新的知识，了解中等规模的公立大学如何共同努力，以确定，解决和改善学生支持的弱点，特别是在目标学生群体异常挣扎的关键过渡点。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并且通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持的搜索.
