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 in order 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 racial and ethnic groups historically 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. The need for cultivating STEM talent has been well established. 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. St. Mary’s University, Our Lady of the Lake University, Trinity University, and the University of the Incarnate Word, all Primarily Undergraduate Universities (PUIs) in San Antonio, have formed the PUI-SATX Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, a new STEM Pathways Implementation-Only (SPIO) alliance. This alliance of institutions will target students in low socioeconomic zip codes primarily in Central Texas for participation in STEM interventions leading to the STEM baccalaureate degree and preparation for entry into STEM graduate degree programs. Activities will include stipend support, participation in experiential research, peer mentoring, mentoring circles and other STEM professional development activities. Activities will incorporate family members in recruitment and retention activities such as La Familia orientations. The PUI-SATX LSAMP project will disseminate its project findings broadly via its website and through STEM professional communities and publications such as the Journal of STEM Education and Journal of Research in STEM Education.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，以支持历史上在STEM学科中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体，如非洲裔美国人，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岛民，来改变本科STEM教育。这些策略有助于培养准备充分的学生，高素质和积极性，以追求研究生教育或STEM职业。培养STEM人才的必要性已经确立。美国（U.S.）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。玛丽大学，湖大学圣母，Trinity大学和道成肉身的大学，在圣安东尼奥的所有初级本科大学（PUI），已经形成了PUI-SATX路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟，一个新的STEM途径实施只（SPIO）联盟。 该机构联盟将针对主要位于德克萨斯州中部的低社会经济邮政编码的学生，参与STEM干预措施，从而获得STEM学士学位，并为进入STEM研究生学位课程做准备。 活动将包括津贴支持，参与体验式研究，同行指导，指导圈和其他STEM专业发展活动。 活动将使家庭成员参与招聘和保留活动，如家庭定向。PUI-SATX LSAMP项目将通过其网站和STEM专业社区以及《STEM教育杂志》和《STEM教育研究杂志》等出版物广泛传播其项目成果。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智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
