This project is a comprehensive synthesis of existing primary studies of transfer of Hispanic students from 2-year to 4-year institutions. Although substantial research has identified cultural and socioeconomic challenges facing Hispanic students in higher education, much less is known about Hispanic STEM students, and virtually no large scale studies have studied Hispanic STEM transfer students specifically. The study will identify patterns of successes and failures of Hispanic STEM transfer students and identify factors related to effectiveness of interventions to promote transfer, retention, and graduation of Hispanic STEM undergraduates. This synthesis will contribute to achieving PCAST recommendations for a million more STEM graduates by 2018, supporting efforts within federal agencies to improve the success of under-represented students in STEM, and increasing knowledge about what works based on a comprehensive synthesis of published research. The research question guiding this systematic review is: What student and contextual characteristics and interventions have prior studies identified as supporting successful transfer and STEM bachelor's degree completion of Hispanic students who matriculate at two-year institutions? A preliminary scoping review of several databases yielded 1,328 potential sources to inform this systematic review to develop a framework specific to Hispanic STEM transfer students. Most retention and transfer work has been based on a framework of social integration. A good example of this framework is: Vincent Tinto, "Leaving college: Rethinking the causes and cures of student attrition," Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993. This perspective has been found by some to be less relevant to Hispanic students. An example is the work of Tatiana Melguizo, "Are community colleges an alternative path for Hispanic students to attain a bachelor's degree?" Teachers College Record, Volume 110, No. 12, 2008.

该项目是对西班牙裔学生从 2 年制学校转学到 4 年制学校的现有初步研究的综合综合。尽管大量研究已经确定了西班牙裔学生在高等教育中面临的文化和社会经济挑战，但对西班牙裔 STEM 学生的了解却少之又少，而且几乎没有大规模研究专门研究西班牙裔 STEM 转学生。 该研究将确定西班牙裔 STEM 转学生的成功和失败模式，并确定与促进西班牙裔 STEM 本科生转学、保留和毕业的干预措施有效性相关的因素。这一综合将有助于到 2018 年为另外 100 万 STEM 毕业生实现 PCAST​​ 的建议，支持联邦机构内为提高 STEM 领域代表性不足的学生的成功所做的努力，并根据已发表的研究的综合综合增加对有效方法的了解。 指导本系统回顾的研究问题是：先前的研究确定了哪些学生和背景特征以及干预措施可以支持在两年制院校就读的西班牙裔学生成功转学和完成 STEM 学士学位？ 对多个数据库的初步范围审查产生了 1,328 个潜在来源，为这次系统审查提供信息，以制定专门针对西班牙裔 STEM 转学生的框架。 大多数保留和转移工作都是基于社会融合的框架。这个框架的一个很好的例子是：Vincent Tinto，“离开大学：重新思考学生流失的原因和治疗方法”，芝加哥：芝加哥大学出版社，1993 年。一些人发现这种观点与西班牙裔学生不太相关。 塔蒂亚娜·梅尔吉佐（Tatiana Melguizo）的作品就是一个例子，“社区大学是西班牙裔学生获得学士学位的替代途径吗？”师范学院记录，第 110 卷，第 12 期，2008 年。
