The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program is an alliance-based program. The overall goal of the program is to assist universities and colleges in diversifying the nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce by increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to populations historically underrepresented in these disciplines.The goal of the Tennessee Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (TLSAMP) is to significantly increase the quality and quantity of baccalaureate degrees awarded to underrepresented minority students who major in a science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) discipline. TLSAMP is a strategic collaboration of 10 institutions of higher education which began with six public and private institutions - LeMoyne Owen College, Middle Tennessee State University, Tennessee State University, the University of Memphis, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and Vanderbilt University. TLSAMP was expanded by adding four additional colleges and universities, that is, Fisk University, Tennessee Technological University, Nashville State Community College, and Southwest Tennessee Community College. TLSAMP partners share a collective interest in recruiting, cultivating, and developing the next generation of scientists, leaders, and a highly skilled workforce to ensure not only Tennessee's economic prosperity but also America's global preeminence. Over the next five years, the Alliance will increase its efforts to recruit minority STEM students, implement research-based strategies to retain students to graduation, and increase the number of minority STEM graduates that transition to graduate school. Through a mixed-method exploratory sequential design, the TLSAMP Alliance proposes to conduct a research study that examines the factors involved in mentoring students from underrepresented groups (URG) in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and who are at the critical retention to graduation academic stage. This research study will provide insights and understanding of mentoring as a strategy that fundamentally addresses the persistent need for increased participation and support of URG in STEM education and employment in STEM careers. Student mentees, their mentors, Alliance PIs, and coordinators will participate as respondents in the proposed study.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.

路易斯·斯托克斯（Louis Stokes）联盟少数族裔参与（LSAMP）计划是一个基于联盟的计划。 该计划的总体目标是帮助大学和大学多样化国家的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力，通过增加在这些学科中授予人口不足的人群中的STEM学士学位和研究生学位的数量来实现田纳西州LOUIS LOUIS STOKES COLTITY的目标（TOM）的量子（Quarty Buts）的目标（Quartial for Tormaul for Minor and for Tormaul）（Quartiality Bets）的素质是质量的，从而提高了量子的质量（授予专业的科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）纪律专业的人数不足的少数族裔学生的学位。 TLSAMP是10个高等教育机构的战略合作，该机构始于六家公共和私人机构 - 伦敦大学中部大学，田纳西州立大学，孟菲斯大学，孟菲斯大学，田纳西大学 - 诺克斯维尔大学和范德比尔特大学。 TLSAMP通过添加另外四所大学，即Fisk University，田纳西技术大学，纳什维尔州立社区学院和田纳西州西南部社区学院进行扩展。 TLSAMP合作伙伴在招募，培养和发展下一代科学家，领导者和高技能的劳动力方面具有集体兴趣，以确保不仅要确保田纳西州的经济繁荣，还可以确保美国的全球优势。 在接下来的五年中，联盟将增加其为招募少数族裔STEM学生的努力，实施基于研究的策略来保留学生毕业，并增加过渡到研究生院的少数派STEM毕业生的数量。 TLSAMP联盟通过混合方法探索性的顺序设计，提议进行一项研究研究，以研究科学，技术，工程和数学领域中代表性不足的群体（URG）涉及的因素，并处于毕业学术阶段的关键保留阶段。 这项研究将提供见解和对指导的理解，作为一项从根本上讲，从根本上讲，遵循增加参与和支持URG在STEM教育和STEM职业中的就业的持续需求。 学生受训者，他们的导师，联盟PI和协调员将作为受访者参加拟议的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
