Conference: 2023 NSF Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Principal Investigators/Project Directors (PIs/PDs) Meeting

路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（LSAMP）项目帮助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）劳动力的多样化，通过努力显著增加历史上代表性不足的少数族裔(黑人和非裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美洲印第安人、西班牙裔和拉丁裔美国人、夏威夷原住民、和太平洋土著岛民)成功完成高质量的STEM学位课程。芝加哥州立大学（CSU）将于2023年6月初组织并召集LSAMP受助人社区会议，会议将在华盛顿特区举行，为期3.5天。该活动将为NSF资助机会、政策和程序的更新提供一个论坛。此外，与会者将分享大流行后扩大STEM参与的成功做法。活动将包括纪念2003年成立的“通往博士学位之桥”活动20周年。与路易斯·斯托克斯中西部卓越区域中心合作，与科罗拉多州立大学和印第安纳大学普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校（IUPUI）合作，计划举办一次招聘会并启动BD指导计划。所有LSAMP项目受助者、选定的BD参与者以及来自联邦实验室和企业部门的代表都将参加。会议记录将通过组织者的网站广泛传播。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority populations (Blacks and African Americans, Alaska Natives, American Indians, Hispanic and Latino Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders) to successfully complete high-quality degree programs in STEM. Chicago State University (CSU) will organize and convene a meeting of the LSAMP grantee community which will occur in-person in Washington, DC over 3.5 days at the beginning of June 2023. The event will provide a forum for updates on NSF funding opportunities, policies and procedures. Additionally, participants will share successful practices in STEM broadening participation post-pandemic. Activities will include recognition of the 20th Anniversary of the Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity, established in 2003. A career fair and the launch of the BD Mentorship Program, in conjunction with the Louis Stokes Midwest Regional Center of Excellence, a collaboration with CSU and Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), is planned.All LSAMP program grantees, selected BD participants, and representatives from federal laboratories and the corporate sector will participate. Proceedings from the meeting will be disseminated broadly via the organizer's websites.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.
