The overall goal of the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program is to assist universities and colleges in diversifying the nation's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce by increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to persons from LSAMP populations LSAMP populations are defined as persons from groups underrepresented in the STEM enterprise: Blacks and African-Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. The LSAMP Program priorities are to (a) increase individual student retention and progression to baccalaureate degrees for underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, (b) enable successful transfer of underrepresented students from 2-year to 4-yearinstitutions in STEM programs (c) increase access to high quality undergraduate research experiences, and (d) facilitate seamless transition of underrepresented students into STEM graduate programs. The Southern Nevada Northern Arizona LSAMP (SNNA-LSAMP) is an alliance of higher education institutions that includes research universities (University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Northern Arizona University) and community colleges (College of Southern Nevada and Coconino Community College) in the Lower Colorado River Basin. SNNA-LSAMP's goal is to increase substantially the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who earn science, technology, engineering, and technology (STEM) baccalaureate degrees at alliance institutions within five years.SNNA-LSAMP will provide services and activities that bolster the academic performance, persistence, and graduation rates of students underrepresented in STEM at alliance institutions. Specifically, SNNA-LSAMP will provide these students with intensive, near-peer mentoring; out-of-class STEM activities that enhance socialization of STEM disciplines; undergraduate research opportunities; internships; registration for enrollment in STEM courses; and access to all academic support services provided on alliance campuses. Furthermore, SNNA-LSAMP will facilitate the smooth transitions for participants transferring from its community colleges to its universities, as well as provide upper-division participants with step-by-step guidance through the process of applying to graduate school. SNNA-LSAMP will improve the STEM classroom experience for students from LSAMP populations by providing workshops that enhance the multicultural competence of professors and instructors at alliance institutions. The project will be a vital component of efforts to diversify and significantly expand the pool of highly qualified STEM workers in southern Nevada and northern Arizona, accelerating the region's ongoing transformation into fertile ground for STEM startups and will be an attractive destination for established STEM-based businesses seeking to relocate.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）计划的总体目标是通过增加授予LSAMP人群的STEM学士学位和研究生学位的数量，帮助大学和学院实现国家科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力的多样化LSAMP人群被定义为来自STEM企业中代表性不足的群体的人：黑人和非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和拉丁裔美国人，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。LSAMP计划的优先事项是（a）增加代表性不足的种族和族裔群体的个别学生保留和进展到学士学位，（B）使代表性不足的学生成功地从2年制转移到4年制STEM课程机构（c）增加获得高质量本科研究经验的机会，以及（d）促进代表性不足的学生无缝过渡到STEM研究生课程。南内华达州北方亚利桑那州LSAMP（SNNA-LSAMP）是一个高等教育机构联盟，其中包括研究型大学（内华达州大学、拉斯维加斯大学和北方亚利桑那大学）和社区学院（南内华达州学院和科科尼诺社区学院）下科罗拉多河流域。SNNA-LSAMP的目标是在五年内大幅增加在联盟机构获得科学，技术，工程和技术（STEM）学士学位的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的数量。SNNA-LSAMP将提供服务和活动，以提高联盟机构中STEM代表性不足的学生的学习成绩，坚持性和毕业率。具体来说，SNNA-LSAMP将为这些学生提供密集的，近同行的指导;课外STEM活动，提高STEM学科的社会化;本科生研究机会;实习;注册STEM课程;并获得联盟校园提供的所有学术支持服务。此外，SNNA-LSAMP将促进参与者从社区学院顺利过渡到大学，并在申请研究生院的过程中为高年级参与者提供逐步指导。SNNA-LSAMP将通过提供提高联盟机构教授和讲师的多元文化能力的讲习班，改善LSAMP学生的STEM课堂体验。该项目将是努力多样化和显着扩大内华达州南部和北方亚利桑那州的高素质STEM工人库的重要组成部分，加速该地区正在进行的转型，成为STEM初创企业的沃土，并将成为成熟STEM的有吸引力的目的地-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用的支持，基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
