LSAMP BD: The University of Texas at El Paso - The University of Texas System LSAMP

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划通过显著增加成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科高质量学位课程的学生人数，帮助大学和学院实现STEM劳动力的多样化。特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留战略和经验来改变STEM教育，以支持在STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的群体：黑人/非洲裔美国人，阿拉斯加原住民，美洲印第安人，西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。该桥梁到博士学位（BD）活动提供了在STEM项目导致STEM博士学位的学士后研究的支持。得克萨斯州系统路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（UT LSAMP）的大学将主办一个桥梁到博士学位（BD）计划在得克萨斯州埃尔帕索大学（UTEP），西班牙裔服务机构和联盟的牵头机构。拟议的项目建立在UT系统LSAMP在制定成功和可复制的战略方面收集的经验的基础上，以确保来自代表性不足群体的大量学生毕业时获得科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的本科学位，并完成STEM博士学位。 来自LSAMP人口的STEM学科和来自全国各地的LSAMP校友池的12名研究员将被选中参加2022-2024计划。UTEP的项目特别强调对BD参与者和教师顾问的STEM指导。 它利用了西南落基山脉路易斯斯托克斯包容性卓越指导中心的活动，并将心理健康和家庭参与保留活动。它促进了学生的研究和专业技能，价值观和态度的成熟。该项目的成果将进一步使该国的STEM劳动力多样化，使新兴研究型大学的STEM研究生教育中有前途的实践能够复制，以供与参与该机构联盟的学生相似的学生使用。评估工作将确定哪些干预措施是需要合格的学生从代表性不足的群体成功地从本科STEM学科过渡到完成博士学位。计划在他们的研究领域，在利率相当或超过所有类似合格的学生。成果将通过专业研究会议、学术期刊、机构网站和社交媒体在国内和国际上传播。该奖项反映了NSF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 STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: Black/African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic/Latinx Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity provides support for postbaccalaureate studies in STEM programs leading to the STEM doctoral degree.The University of Texas System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (UT LSAMP) will host a Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) program at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), a Hispanic-serving institution and the lead institution of the Alliance. The proposed project builds on experiences gathered by the UT System LSAMP on the development of successful and replicable strategies to ensure that large numbers of students from underrepresented groups graduate with undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and complete STEM doctoral degrees. Twelve fellows from LSAMP populations in STEM disciplines and from the LSAMP alumni pool from across the nation will be selected to participate in the 2022-2024 program.The project at UTEP, in particular, emphasizes STEM mentoring for BD participants and faculty advisors. It leverages the activities of the Southwest Rockies Louis Stokes Inclusive Mentoring Center of Excellence and incorporates mental health and involvement of family in retention activities. It promotes the maturation of the students' research and professional skills, values, and attitudes. The project results will further diversify the nation's STEM workforce, enable the replication of promising practices in STEM graduate education at emerging research universities for students with profiles similar to those participating in this alliance of institutions. Evaluative efforts will determine which interventions are needed for qualified students from underrepresented groups to successfully transition from their undergraduate STEM disciplines to the completion of a Ph.D. program in their field of study, at rates comparable to or exceeding those of all similarly qualified students. Outcomes will be disseminated nationally and internationally through professional research conferences, scholarly journals, institutional websites, and social media.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.
