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: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Illinois Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (ILSAMP) is a senior-level alliance comprised of universities and community colleges throughout the state and one federal laboratory. The specific partners include the following four-year institutions: Chicago State University, DePaul University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois University, Southern Illinois University (Carbondale, Edwardsville), University of Illinois at Chicago, and Governors State University. Additional partners include five two-year institutions (Harry Truman College, Kennedy King College, Olive Harvey College, St. Augustine College, Wilbur Wright College) and one non-academic partner, Argonne National Laboratory. This project will have four primary objectives. These objectives are to: (1) develop interventions to bridge the achievement gap by recruiting, retaining and graduating underrepresented students of color in STEM; (2) develop partnerships with 2- and 4-year institutions, school systems, industry, government and veteran affairs; (3) continue international opportunities that will enable students to understand and participate successfully in global science endeavors; (4) continue institutionalization of effective activities begun during earlier levels of ILSAMP. The activities proposed will be designed to accomplish the central goal of increasing the number of historically underrepresented students who select STEM disciplines and persist to graduation from baccalaureate-producing institutions and who are prepared to successfully matriculate in graduate schools or obtain professional positions in STEM. The project will provide students with the academic and professional skills to function at the highest levels of competency.ILSAMP activities will broaden the participation of historically underrepresented groups, including ethnic and racial minorities in the STEM enterprise, by providing access to research and science programs. The alliance will not only help to close the gap created by the paucity of underserved individuals who are STEM professionals functioning creatively, it will also encourage others who have been reticent to attempt baccalaureate-level science work, e.g., veterans and students with GED education. Advisory boards and committees will help to broaden the impact of ILSAMP through wide dissemination of project results. Input and assistance will also be furnished by a Technical Advisory Committee, the composition of which provides a connection with the Illinois business community, the public high schools, graduate schools, state and national policy makers and national research institutions. Results of process and impact evaluations combined with internal project assessment will provide insight on effective strategies for fostering student success in STEM and the effectiveness of the ILSAMP model. Findings will be shared at regional and national meetings and through social networking where the foci on underrepresented minority student persistence, performance, and advancement in STEM fields are discussed.

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募和保留策略和经验来改变 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体：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。 伊利诺伊州路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (ILSAMP) 是一个高级联盟，由全州的大学和社区学院以及一个联邦实验室组成。 具体合作伙伴包括以下四年制院校：芝加哥州立大学、德保罗大学、伊利诺伊理工学院、伊利诺伊州立大学、东北伊利诺伊大学、南伊利诺伊大学（卡本代尔、爱德华兹维尔）、伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校、州长州立大学。其他合作伙伴包括五个两年制机构（哈里杜鲁门学院、肯尼迪国王学院、奥利弗哈维学院、圣奥古斯丁学院、威尔伯赖特学院）和一个非学术合作伙伴阿贡国家实验室。该项目将有四个主要目标。 这些目标是：(1) 制定干预措施，通过招募、留住 STEM 领域代表性不足的有色人种学生并使他们毕业来缩小成绩差距； (2) 与两年制和四年制机构、学校系统、行业、政府和退伍军人事务部建立伙伴关系； (3) 继续提供国际机会，使学生能够了解并成功参与全球科学事业； (4) 继续将 ILSAMP 早期阶段开始的有效活动制度化。拟议的活动旨在实现中心目标，即增加历史上代表性不足的学生数量，这些学生选择 STEM 学科并坚持从学士学位授予机构毕业，并准备好成功进入研究生院或获得 STEM 专业职位。该项目将为学生提供学术和专业技能，以发挥最高水平的能力。ILSAMP 活动将通过提供研究和科学项目的机会，扩大历史上代表性不足的群体的参与，包括 STEM 企业中的少数民族和少数族裔。该联盟不仅有助于缩小因缺乏服务而缺乏创造性工作的 STEM 专业人士所造成的差距，还将鼓励其他一直不愿尝试学士学位级别的科学工作的人，例如退伍军人和接受过 GED 教育的学生。 咨询委员会和委员会将通过广泛传播项目成果来帮助扩大 ILSAMP 的影响。技术咨询委员会也将提供意见和帮助，该委员会的组成提供了与伊利诺伊州商业界、公立高中、研究生院、州和国家政策制定者以及国家研究机构的联系。过程和影响评估的结果与内部项目评估相结合，将为促进学生在 STEM 方面取得成功的有效策略以及 ILSAMP 模型的有效性提供见解。研究结果将在地区和国家会议上以及通过社交网络分享，重点讨论少数族裔学生在 STEM 领域的坚持、表现和进步。
