Conference: 2023 NSF Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Principal Investigators/Project Directors (PIs/PDs) Meeting

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划通过显著增加历史上代表性不足的少数民族学生人数的努力，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（黑人和非裔美国人，阿拉斯加原住民，美洲印第安人，西班牙裔和拉丁裔美国人，夏威夷原住民，和土著太平洋岛民），以成功完成高质量的学位课程在干。芝加哥州立大学（CSU）将组织并召开一次LSAMP受助社区会议，该会议将在华盛顿亲自举行，在2023年6月开始的3.5天内。该活动将提供一个论坛，以更新NSF的资助机会，政策和程序。此外，与会者将分享STEM领域的成功做法，以扩大大流行后的参与。活动将包括2003年建立的博士学位（BD）活动20周年纪念。 计划与Louis Stokes中西部区域卓越中心合作举办职业博览会并启动BD导师计划，该中心与CSU和印第安纳州普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校（IUPUI）合作。所有LSAMP计划的受资助者，选定的BD参与者以及来自联邦实验室和企业部门的代表都将参加。会议记录将通过组织者的网站广泛传播。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 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority populations (Blacks and African Americans, Alaska Natives, American Indians, Hispanic and Latino Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders) to successfully complete high-quality degree programs in STEM. Chicago State University (CSU) will organize and convene a meeting of the LSAMP grantee community which will occur in-person in Washington, DC over 3.5 days at the beginning of June 2023. The event will provide a forum for updates on NSF funding opportunities, policies and procedures. Additionally, participants will share successful practices in STEM broadening participation post-pandemic. Activities will include recognition of the 20th Anniversary of the Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity, established in 2003. A career fair and the launch of the BD Mentorship Program, in conjunction with the Louis Stokes Midwest Regional Center of Excellence, a collaboration with CSU and Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), is planned.All LSAMP program grantees, selected BD participants, and representatives from federal laboratories and the corporate sector will participate. Proceedings from the meeting will be disseminated broadly via the organizer's websites.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.
