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.

在路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）的支持下，阿拉斯加安克雷奇大学将在STEM专业中对阿拉斯加原住民的招聘模式进行系统性的改变。大约有3,000名学生在我们的STEM管道。自2001年第一个LSAMP奖以来，该联盟已经毕业了1，296名少数民族STEM学生，并将代表性不足的STEM学生的学士学位获得率从LSAMP前的16.7增加到64.8。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民族学生不是科学和工程材料的信念来实现系统性变革;激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，使他们在到达大学时为BS STEM学位做好社会和学术准备。这个LSAMP联盟作为一个多阶段的机构计划，旨在准备和支持阿拉斯加原住民学生和其他少数民族从中学到研究生院的本科部分的支持，在科学，技术，工程和数学（干）事业取得成功。 该项目的目标是1。继续扩大我们在高中和大学之间以及从本科到研究生院的过渡阶段所做的夏桥工作; 2.扩大我们的本科研究能力，并建立我们的能力，进行国际研究; 3。加强我们在其他联盟社区校园的存在; 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公布联盟影响的结果，在会议上发言，以及提交期刊文章。 LSAMP计划采取全面的方法来培养和留住学生。特别强调通过创新的，基于证据的招聘和保留策略，以及支持历史上在STEM学科中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体的相关教育经验，转变本科STEM教育。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。
