FGLSAMP DRIVE 2020-2025

Louis Stokes少数民族参与联盟(LSAMP)计划帮助大学和学院使科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)劳动力多样化，努力显著增加来自历史上代表性较低的少数群体(非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美国印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民)的学生数量，成功完成STEM的高质量学位课程。佛罗里达农工大学(FAMU)是佛罗里达-佐治亚州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟(FGLSAMP)和历史悠久的黑人大学(HBCU)的牵头机构，由该地区14所两年制和四年制大学组成。该联盟由三个拉美裔服务机构(HSI)、两个新兴HSI和四个HBU组成。在接下来的五年里，该项目通过创新和虚拟体验(DRIVE)培养研究人员，除了STEM扩大参与研究和评估活动外，还将继续增加STEM本科生招生和学位生产。该项目将调查对STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的人群的持久性和学位完成状况做出贡献的非认知属性。该项目的共同资金由NSF本科教育部门(DUE)的改善本科生STEM教育(IUSE)计划提供，因为该项目的重要方面与IUSE的总体目标保持一致。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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 (African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders) to successfully complete high quality degree programs in STEM. Florida A&M University (FAMU), lead institution for the Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP) and historically black university (HBCU), consists of 14 two and four-year institutions in the region. The alliance consists of three Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), two emerging HSIs, and four HBCUs.Over the next five years, the project, Developing Researchers through Innovative and Virtual Experiences (DRIVE), will continue to increase STEM undergraduate enrollment and degree production in addition to STEM broadening participation research and evaluation activities. The project will investigate non-cognitive attributes that contribute to persistence and degree completion status for populations historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines.Co-funding of this project is being provided by the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program in the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) since important aspects of the project align with the overall goals of IUSE.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.
