NSF INCLUDES-DDLP: Sustaining Workforce Diversity in Emerging STEM Economies

该项目是NSF INCLUDES设计和开发启动试点项目，由内华达大学里诺分校管理，旨在解决先进制造业区域代表性不足的重大挑战。以该州的“学习和赚钱计划高级职业途径”（LEAP）为基础，科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）活动将支持和培养拉美裔学生，使其成为该地区先进制造业的劳动力，其中包括与特拉基梅多斯社区学院（TMCC）、该州州长经济发展办公室、查尔斯河实验室、内华达州建立了刺激竞争性研究计划（内华达州EPSCoR）和K-12社区。该项目的预期结果将为LEAP框架在实现该州本地劳动力和全国STEM劳动力多样化方面的可行性、可扩展性和可转移性提供信息。形成性和总结性评价将与一个匹配良好的对照组进行。项目成果将通过公共赠地大学协会（APLU）、STEM会议和学术期刊传播。

This project, an NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot, managed by the University of Nevada, Reno, addresses the grand challenge of increasing underrepresentation regionally in the advanced manufacturing sector. Using the state's Learn and Earn Program Advanced Career Pathway (LEAP) as the foundation, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities will support and prepare Hispanic students for the region's workforce in advanced manufacturing which includes partnerships with Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC), the state's Governor's Office of Economic Development, Charles River Laboratories, Nevada Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (Nevada EPSCoR) and the K-12 community. The expected outcomes from the project will inform the feasibility, expandability and transferability of the LEAP framework in diversifying the state's workforce locally and the STEM workforce nationally. Formative and summative evaluation will be conducted with a well-matched comparison group. Dissemination of project results will be disseminated through the Association for Public Land-Grant Universities (APLU), STEM conferences and scholarly journals.
