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 (URM) in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Pacific Northwest Louis Stokes Alliance (PNW LSAMP) includes the three state region of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Broadening participation in STEM is critical to the region's economic vitality given the significant number of STEM related industries and research initiatives. PNW LSAMP partners are active contributors to state and regional STEM initiatives, and the strong partnership between alliance campuses has resulted in increased pathways to college, student success in STEM majors and access to undergraduate research experiences. Since the inception of the alliance, degrees granted to underrepresented minority (URM) students in STEM have increased 70%, far outpacing the overall increase of 21% on partner campuses. PNW LSAMP is sustaining its foundational work and enhancing it with an emphasis on community college transfer and preparation for graduate study in STEM fields. The PNW Alliance will continue to implement best practices for engaging students in STEM including bridge programs, community-building and participation in undergraduate research. The Alliance will strengthen its partnerships with eight community colleges to better facilitate community college student transfer to 4 year degree programs and their participation in undergraduate research. The Alliance will expand the number of students exposed to information about STEM graduate study through an enhanced focus on graduate school preparation. Project goals include 1) increase the number of STEM bachelor degrees granted to URM students by 10% per year; 2) increase the percentage of bachelor degrees granted in STEM to URM students who transfer from community colleges to 40%, and double the number of degrees granted to URM STEM transfer students; and 3) provide workshops and services to ensure that 95% of LSAMP-affiliated students are exposed to information about graduate school preparation. The knowledge gained through the partnership with MESA community college programs will allow PNW LSAMP to pilot and implement national models for engaging community college students in STEM as they are discovered.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划致力于显着增加成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科高质量学位课程的学生数量，从而帮助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力多元化。特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留策略和经验来改变 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科中代表性不足的群体 (URM)：非裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美洲印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。 太平洋西北路易斯斯托克斯联盟 (PNW LSAMP) 包括华盛顿州、俄勒冈州和爱达荷州三个州地区。 鉴于 STEM 相关产业和研究计划数量众多，扩大 STEM 参与对于该地区的经济活力至关重要。 PNW LSAMP 合作伙伴是州和地区 STEM 计划的积极贡献者，联盟校园之间的牢固合作关系增加了进入大学的途径、学生在 STEM 专业的成功以及获得本科研究经验的机会。 自联盟成立以来，STEM 领域少数族裔 (URM) 学生获得的学位增加了 70%，远远超过合作伙伴校园 21% 的总体增幅。 PNW LSAMP 正在维持并加强其基础工作，重点是社区大学转学和 STEM 领域研究生学习的准备。 PNW 联盟将继续实施吸引学生参与 STEM 的最佳实践，包括桥梁课程、社区建设和参与本科生研究。 该联盟将加强与八所社区学院的合作伙伴关系，以更好地促进社区学院学生转入四年制学位课程并参与本科生研究。 该联盟将通过加强对研究生院准备的关注，扩大接触 STEM 研究生学习信息的学生数量。项目目标包括 1) 每年将授予 URM 学生的 STEM 学士学位数量增加 10%； 2) 将授予从社区学院转学的 URM 学生的 STEM 学士学位比例提高到 40%，并将授予 URM STEM 转学生的学位数量增加一倍； 3) 提供研讨会和服务，以确保 95% 的 LSAMP 附属学生了解有关研究生院准备的信息。 通过与 MESA 社区学院项目合作获得的知识将使 PNW LSAMP 能够试点和实施国家模式，让社区学院的学生参与 STEM。
