The Puerto Rico Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (PR-LSAMP), Phase IV, builds on the successes of the alliances over the past 15 years in increasing the number of qualified, underrepresented minorities participating in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce. Phase I and II focused on the revision of the STEM curriculum to emphasize depth of understanding, promote active learning, incorporate technology, and develop broad-based mathematics skills. Mentoring and research activities are standard support activities for undergraduate students matriculating in the alliance programs. In Phase III, the alliance built on these academic enhancements by developing interactive web-based learning for mastery of difficult concepts, developing electronic modules to expand interdisciplinary capabilities of undergraduates, scaling up of the successful teaching/learning strategies, developing Information Technology skills in STEM students, and expanding the research and mentoring program to include a large number of students.In Phase IV, PR-LSAMP, through its systemic, integrative and collaborative approach that builds on institutional initiatives to improve STEM education will: (1) continue to increase the baccalaureate production of students in STEM disciplines; (2) continue to increase the number of students who complete a Ph.D program in a STEM field; (3) sustain the annual number of BS STEM graduates from PR-LSAMP institutions to provide a significant pool of STEM graduate degrees; (4) sustain and enhance the direct student support strategies that have proven successful to retain and motivate undergraduate STEM students to pursue graduate studies, such as undergraduate research experiences and mentoring, and (5) sustain the collaborative network among STEM faculty from the different PR-LSAMP institutions for exchange of and mentoring in the implementation of successful strategies to enhance the teaching and learning process.An elaborate tracking system is in place to track the progress of Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) fellows. PR-LSAMP tracks the academic progress of fellows while participating in BD programs and entrance into a Ph.D program as well as through completion of the Ph.D and entrance into the workforce.The alliance consists of the University of Puerto Rico System which includes two graduate centers (UPR-Rio Piedras and UPR Mayaguez); 6 four-year campuses (Humacao, Cayey, Arecibo, Aguadilla, and Bayamon; and the Inter-American University System, which includes two 4-year institutions (Bayamon and Metro).

波多黎各路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (PR-LSAMP) 第四阶段建立在联盟过去 15 年在增加参与科学、技术、工程和数学领域的合格、代表性不足的少数族裔数量方面取得的成功的基础上（STEM）劳动力。 第一阶段和第二阶段的重点是修订 STEM 课程，以强调理解的深度、促进主动学习、融入技术并培养基础广泛的数学技能。 指导和研究活动是为入读联盟项目的本科生提供的标准支持活动。 在第三阶段，该联盟通过开发基于网络的交互式学习来掌握困难概念、开发电子模块以扩展本科生的跨学科能力、扩大成功的教学/学习策略、发展 STEM 信息技术技能，在这些学术增强的基础上建立起来。在第四阶段，PR-LSAMP 通过其系统性、综合性和协作性方法，以改善 STEM 教育的机构举措为基础，将：(1) 继续增加学士学位STEM 学科学生的培养； (2) 继续增加完成STEM领域博士学位课程的学生数量； (3) 维持 PR-LSAMP 机构每年的 BS STEM 毕业生数量，以提供大量 STEM 研究生学位； (4) 维持和加强直接学生支持策略，这些策略已被证明可以成功保留和激励本科生 STEM 学生攻读研究生，例如本科生研究经验和指导，以及 (5) 维持来自不同 PR 的 STEM 教师之间的协作网络- LSAMP 机构，用于交流和指导实施成功的策略，以加强教学过程。有一个精心设计的跟踪系统来跟踪博士桥梁 (BD) 研究员的进度。 PR-LSAMP 跟踪研究员在参加 BD 课程和进入博士学位课程以及完成博士学位和进入劳动力市场期间的学术进展。该联盟由波多黎各大学系统组成，其中包括两个研究生中心（UPR-Rio Piedras 和 UPR Mayaguez）； 6 个四年制校区（乌马考、卡伊、阿雷西博、阿瓜迪亚和巴亚蒙）；以及美洲大学系统，其中包括两个四年制机构（巴亚蒙和麦德龙）。
