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·斯托克斯联盟（Louis Stokes）联盟（LSAMP）的支持下，该STEM途径和研究联盟（SPRA）来自主要机构，阿拉斯加锚定大学将影响STEM专业中阿拉斯加原住民招聘模式的系统性变化。我们的STEM管道中大约有3,000名学生。自2001年首次颁发LSAMP奖以来，该联盟已毕业了1,296名少数民族STEM学生，并提高了代表性不足的STEM学生的学士学位，从16.7到64.8。阿拉斯加联盟包括阿拉斯加大学系统内的所有19个校园。努力的重点是通过永远消除少数学生不是科学和工程材料的信念来实现系统性变化。激发学生在中学和高中完成高级科学和数学课程，并培养学生，以便他们在到达大学时在社会和学术上为BS STEM学位做好准备。该LSAMP联盟为一项多阶段机构倡议的本科部分提供了支持，旨在准备和支持来自中学到研究生院的阿拉斯加土著学生和其他少数民族，以成功地从事科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）职业。 项目目标为1。继续扩大我们在高中和大学之间的过渡以及从本科到研究生院的过渡时与夏季桥的工作； 2。扩大我们的本科研究的能力，并建立我们进行国际研究的能力； 3。加强我们在其他联盟社区校园中的存在； 4。完整的内部和外部研究评估了我们纵向模型的有效性。传播工作将包括发布联盟对网站的影响的结果，会议上的演讲以及提交期刊文章。 LSAMP计划采取了全面的方法来学生发展和保留。特别强调通过创新的，基于循证的招聘和保留策略以及相关的教育经验来转变本科STEM教育，以支持STEM学科中人数不足的种族和种族。因此，该项目将为扩大学术界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，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估值得支持的。
