Louis Stokes Regional Center of Excellence for the Study of STEM Interventions

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划通过努力显著增加历史上代表性不足的少数民族（URM）人口的学生人数，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（非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲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）成功完成高质量的STEM学位课程。 扩大STEM参与的路易斯·斯托克斯卓越中心（LSRCE）是创新STEM教育和扩大参与的典范。路易斯·斯托克斯地区STEM卓越中心扩大STEM参与STEM干预研究（LSRCE-SOSI），由密苏里-哥伦比亚大学与密歇根大学和非营利组织，理解干预，将为循证研究的培训和发展提供场所，以扩大STEM的参与。该项目通过将不同的机构类型（多数和少数民族服务）整合到致力于改变高等教育的现有学者社区中，扩大了以代表性不足的少数民族学生为重点的批判性社会认知知情奖学金的范围。项目评价将从业务、方案和研究生产力等方面对项目进行评估。新的奖学金将通过理解干预会议，期刊，其他场所传播，并将在全国高等教育机构之间共享。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

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 to significantly increase the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority (URM) 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. The Louis Stokes Centers of Excellence in Broadening Participation in STEM (LSRCE) serve as exemplar sites in innovative STEM education and broadening participation.The Louis Stokes Regional Center of Excellence in STEM Broadening Participation Study of STEM Interventions (LSRCE-SOSI), led by the University of Missouri-Columbia in collaboration with the University of Michigan and the non-profit organization, Understanding Interventions, will provide venues for training and development in evidence-based research to practice in STEM broadening participation. The project expands the reach of critical social-cognitive informed scholarship focused on underrepresented minority students by integrating different institution types (majority and minority-serving) into the existing communities of scholars dedicated to transforming higher education. Project evaluation will assess the project at the operational, programmatic, and research productivity levels. New scholarship will be disseminated through Understanding Interventions conferences, journals, other venues, and will be shared among higher education institutions in the nation.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.
