Louis Stokes Renewal STEM Pathways and Research Alliance: LSAMP Alaska Alliance

在路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 以及牵头机构 STEM 途径和研究联盟 (SPRA) 的支持下，阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校将对阿拉斯加原住民在 STEM 专业的招聘模式进行系统性改变。我们的 STEM 人才梯队约有 3,000 名学生。自 2001 年首次颁发 LSAMP 奖项以来，该联盟已使 1,296 名少数族裔 STEM 学生毕业，并将代表性不足的 STEM 学生获得学士学位的人数从 LSAMP 之前的 16.7 人增加到 64.8 人。阿拉斯加联盟包括阿拉斯加大学系统内的所有 19 个校区。努力的重点是通过永远消除少数族裔学生不是理工科材料的信念来实现系统性变革；鼓励学生在初中和高中完成高级科学和数学课程，并培养学生，使他们在到达大学后在社交和学术上为获得 BS STEM 学位做好充分准备。该 LSAMP 联盟为多阶段机构计划的本科生部分提供支持，旨在为阿拉斯加原住民学生和其他少数族裔从初中到研究生院的学生在科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 职业生涯中取得成功做好准备和支持。 该项目的目标是 1. 继续扩大我们在高中和大学之间、从本科生到研究生院过渡期间与 Summer Bridge 所做的工作； 2. 扩大本科生研究能力，建设国际研究能力； 3. 加强我们在其他联盟社区园区的影响力； 4. 完成内部和外部研究，评估我们纵向模型的有效性。传播工作将包括在网站上发布联盟影响的结果、在会议上进行演示以及提交期刊文章。 LSAMP 项目采用全面的方法来促进学生的发展和保留。特别强调通过创新的、基于证据的招募和保留策略以及相关的教育经验来改变本科 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体。因此，该项目将为扩大学术和科学研究的参与做出重大贡献。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

With support from the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) this STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (SPRA) from the lead institution, the University of Alaska Anchorage will effect a systemic change in the hiring patterns of Alaska Natives in the STEM professions. There are approximately 3,000 students in our STEM pipeline. Since the first LSAMP award in 2001, the Alliance has graduated 1,296 minority STEM students and increased bachelor degree attainment from underrepresented STEM students from a pre-LSAMP number of 16.7 to 64.8. The Alaska Alliance includes all 19 campuses within the University of Alaska system. The focus of the effort is to effect systemic change by eradicating forever the belief that minority students are not science and engineering material; inspiring students to complete advanced science and math coursework in middle and high school, and developing students so they are socially and academically hyper-prepared for BS STEM degrees when they arrive at the university. This LSAMP Alliance serves as a support for the undergraduate portion of a multi-stage institutional initiative designed to prepare and support Alaska Native students and other minorities from middle school through graduate school to succeed in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers. The project goals are to 1. Continue to expand the work we are doing with Summer Bridge at the transitions between high school and college, and from undergraduate to graduate school; 2. Expand our capacity for undergraduate research and build our capacity to conduct international research; 3. Strengthen our presence on additional Alliance Community campuses; 4. Complete internal and external research studies assessing the effectiveness of our longitudinal model. Dissemination efforts will include publishing results of the impacts of the Alliance on a website, presentations at conferences, and submitting journal articles. The LSAMP program takes a comprehensive approach to student development and retention. 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. Therefore, the project will contribute significantly to broadening participation in academe and science research.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.
