The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts to significantly increase the number of students successfully completing high-quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders.The Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, led by the University of Georgia, consists of Fort Valley State University (FVSU, an HBCU), Georgia State University Perimeter College (GSU-PC – two-year institution), Georgia Institute of Technology (GT), Kennesaw State University-Kennesaw Campus (KSU-K), Kennesaw State University-Marietta Campus (KSU-M) and Savannah State University (SSU, an HBCU).Peach State LSAMP will leverage funding, resources, partnerships, and commitments of each member institution to provide academic, social, professional, and financial support and programming for LSAMP populations pursuing baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields of study. Over the next five years, the alliance will conduct scholarly research to understand the impact and student outcomes for LSAMP students as they engage in research through a Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) program. The LSAMP VIP program will be a transformative approach for engaging undergraduate and graduate students in ambitious, long-term, large-scale, multidisciplinary project teams led by faculty solving real-world problems.The Peach State LSAMP aims to achieve the following goals by 2027:Goal 1: Increase enrollment of students underrepresented in STEM disciplines by 20% above the 2019-2020 benchmark enrollment of 12,121 per year.Goal 2: Increase baccalaureate degrees obtained by students underrepresented in STEM disciplines by 20% above the 2019-2020 benchmark BS degree production of 1,627 per year.Goal 3: Increase the transfer of GSU-PC LSAMP students to 4-year institutions by 20% above 2019-2020 benchmark transfer total of 20 per year.Goal 4: Increase the number of LSAMP students who participate in research/internships by 25% above the 2019-2020 benchmark total of 270 undergraduate students per year.Goal 5: Increase the number of LSAMP students who pursue graduate degrees in STEM by 20% above 2019-2020 total of 30 graduate students per year.Goal 6: Develop Broadening Participation in STEM scholarly knowledge to understand the impact and student outcomes for LSAMP student engagement in VIP teams.Goal 7: Assess continued Peach State Alliance institutionalization and sustainability.The Peach State LSAMP program is comprehensive and designed to enhance academic and research outcomes, including well-prepared and successful professionals underrepresented in STEM disciplines, evidence-based mentoring and student retention models, and a sound and rigorous evaluation plan. The program will leverage its institutional research infrastructure, as well as collaborate with other organizations and industry partners, to help students underrepresented in STEM transition into applied and research-based STEM careers.The student academic and professional development interventions implemented in this project will have transferable value for STEM students and other institutions worldwide. Long-lasting impact from outcomes achieved will create a more diverse and inclusive environment on college campuses and in the STEM workforce. Ultimately, the Peach State Alliance will contribute significantly to preserving and improving the United States’ competitiveness in overcoming key global technology, health, and economic development challenges.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）计划通过努力帮助大学和学院实现STEM劳动力的多样化，以显着增加成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科高质量学位课程的学生人数。特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留战略和经验来改变STEM教育，以支持STEM学科中代表性不足的群体：非裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美洲印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。桃州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟由格鲁吉亚大学领导，由福特瓦利州立大学（FVSU，HBCU），格鲁吉亚州立大学周边学院（GSU-PC -两年制院校）、格鲁吉亚理工学院（GT）、肯尼索州立大学-肯尼索校区（KSU-K）、肯尼索州立大学-玛丽埃塔校区（KSU-M）和萨凡纳州立大学（SSU，HBCU）。桃州LSAMP将利用资金，资源，合作伙伴关系和每个成员机构的承诺，提供学术，社会，专业，以及为LSAMP人口在STEM研究领域攻读学士学位提供财政支持和规划。在接下来的五年里，该联盟将进行学术研究，以了解LSAMP学生的影响和学生成果，因为他们通过垂直整合项目（VIP）计划从事研究。LSAMP VIP计划将是一种变革性的方法，让本科生和研究生参与由教师领导的雄心勃勃的，长期的，大规模的，多学科的项目团队，解决现实世界的问题。Peach State LSAMP旨在到2027年实现以下目标：目标1：在2019-2020年每年12，121名基准入学人数的基础上，将STEM学科中代表性不足的学生的入学人数增加20%。在2019-2020年的基准学士学位产量（每年1，627个）基础上，将STEM学科代表性不足的学生获得的学士学位增加20%。目标3：将GSU-PC LSAMP学生转入四年制院校的比例在2019-2020年基准转学总数（每年20人）的基础上提高20%。将参加研究/实习的LSAMP学生人数比2019-2020年每年270名本科生的基准总数增加25%。目标5：将攻读STEM研究生学位的LSAMP学生人数在2019-2020年每年30名研究生的基础上增加20%。目标6：发展STEM学术知识的广泛参与，以了解LSAMP学生参与VIP团队的影响和学生成果。目标7：评估持续的桃州联盟制度化和可持续性。桃州LSAMP计划是全面的，旨在提高学术和研究成果，包括准备充分和成功的专业人士在STEM学科，循证指导和学生保留模型，以及健全严格的评估计划。该计划将利用其机构研究基础设施，以及与其他组织和行业合作伙伴合作，帮助在STEM中代表性不足的学生过渡到应用和研究型STEM职业。该项目中实施的学生学术和专业发展干预措施将对STEM学生和全球其他机构具有可转移的价值。所取得成果的长期影响将在大学校园和STEM劳动力中创造一个更加多样化和包容性的环境。最终，桃州联盟将为保持和提高美国在克服关键的全球技术、健康和经济发展挑战方面的竞争力做出重大贡献。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。
