LSAMP BD: UC Santa Barbara California Alliance for Minority Participation

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）项目帮助大学和学院努力显著增加进入科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科并成功完成高质量学位课程的学生人数，以使STEM劳动力多样化，并支持STEM学术研究的生产，扩大参与。特别强调通过创新的、基于证据的招聘和保留策略，以及相关的教育经验来改变本科STEM教育，以支持在STEM学科中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体：黑人和非裔美国人、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原住民。这些策略促进了极具竞争力的学生的产生，他们有动力追求STEM的研究生教育或职业生涯。美国要保持全球竞争力，至关重要的是要挖掘所有公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供卓越的教育准备。加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（UCSB）是加州大学系统路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（CAMP）的合作机构。UCSB通往博士学位的桥梁（UCSB- bd）计划将增加代表性不足的群体在STEM博士课程中的参与，以满足国家对更多样化和更广泛的STEM劳动力的需求。通过校园范围内的合作，将研究中心和技术研究所与跨学科部门和机构部门联系起来，该计划提供了丰富的思想和实践交流的潜力，这些交流将在校园、联盟和国家网络中共享。将向从全国各地lsamp支持的联盟中招募的参与者提供津贴。该计划提供了一个强大的导师社区，他们相互支持，广泛的学术和专业准备。为了更好地了解影响那些在科学和工程领域代表性不足的学生获得高级学位的因素，将进行一项严格的评估，以告知UCSB培训前景的未来，并帮助告知全国研究生STEM教育的培训课程和策略。评估结果、经验教训和UCSB活动的影响将通过社交网络、出版物、国家会议上的演讲以及与nsf附属计划和STEM多样性联盟的数据共享过程进行传播。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 their efforts to significantly increase the numbers of students matriculating into and successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines in order to diversify the STEM workforce and supports the production of scholarly research in STEM broadening participation. 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 underrepresented in STEM disciplines: Blacks and African Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. These strategies facilitate the production of highly competitive students motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM. For the United States (U.S.) to remain globally competitive, it is vital that it taps into the talent of all its citizens and provides exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. The University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) is a partnering institution with the University of California System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP). The UCSB Bridge to the Doctorate (UCSB-BD) program will increase the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM doctoral programs addressing the national need for a more diverse and expansive STEM workforce. Through campus-wide collaborations linking research centers and technical institutes with departments across disciplines and institutional divisions, the program offers the potential for a rich exchange of ideas and practices that will be shared across the campus, the alliance, and national networks. Stipends will be provided to participants recruited from LSAMP-supported alliances across the nation. The program provides a strong community of mentors who support each other and extensive academic and professional preparation. To build a better understanding of the factors impacting the progression through advanced degrees for those underrepresented in science and engineering, a rigorous evaluation will be conducted to inform the future of the UCSB training landscape and help inform training curriculum and strategies in graduate STEM education across the nation. Evaluation findings, lessons learned, and impact of the UCSB activities will be disseminated through social networks, publications, presentations at national meetings, and data sharing processes with NSF-affiliated initiatives and STEM diversity consortiums.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.
