The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in their efforts to significantly increase the numbers of students matriculating into and successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to diversify the STEM workforce. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming undergraduate STEM education through innovative, evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies, and relevant educational experiences in support of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. These strategies facilitate the production of well-prepared students highly-qualified and motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM.For the United States (U.S.) to remain globally competitive, it is vital that it taps into the talent of all its citizens and provides exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. The Ohio LSAMP program was established in 2013 in response to the need for a more diverse and skilled technical workforce. That need still exists and is particularly acute in the State of Ohio. The goal of the Alliance is to double the number of underrepresented minority (URM) baccalaureate STEM degrees from partner institutions within five years. The ten public institutions that make up the Ohio LSAMP are diverse and include four community colleges and six four-year institutions, including one partner that is classified as a Historically Black College and University. The institutions are Central State University, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, Cleveland State University, Columbus State Community College, Cuyahoga Community College, Miami University, Sinclair Community College, The Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, and Wright State University. The Alliance goals include: 1) continuing the innovative, evidence-based high-impact practices that have proven to be effective in recruitment and retention of URM STEM students; 2) strengthening pathways for smooth transitions from community colleges to four-year institutions; 3) initiating innovative interventions that fortify mathematical knowledge, reform mathematics curricula, and prevent mathematics from being a barrier to progression of URM students in STEM; 4) increasing access to high quality faculty-mentored research experiences for URM STEM students; 5) preparing URM students for and facilitate their seamless transition into STEM graduate programs; and 6) developing and implementing an alliance-wide communications plan, including an interactive website, for effective communication and dissemination of information. These goals support the National Science Foundation's strategic goal to "cultivate a world-class, broadly inclusive science and engineering workforce, and expand the scientific literacy of all citizens." In support of the goals, the alliance-wide activities consist of the Annual Research Conference and the activities of the alliance task forces for ancillary studies, communications, community college pathways, corporate engagement, and mathematics curriculum reform. The high-impact practices at each partner institution of the Alliance include advisement and transfer support services, bridge/early arrival programs, tutoring, peer mentoring, faculty mentoring and undergraduate research, and professional development. Of note, each of the four community colleges is in the same city as a four-year institution of the alliance, and a major emphasis of this alliance is to produce viable community college pathways to STEM degrees for URMs. The said activities will produce higher rates of retention and graduation; and moreover, lead to a more talented and diverse STEM workforce.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.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划协助大学和学院努力显着增加入学并成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科高质量学位课程的学生数量，以使 STEM 多样化劳动力。 特别强调通过创新的、基于证据的招募和保留策略以及相关的教育经验来改变本科 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体：非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、原住民夏威夷人和太平洋原住民。 这些战略有助于培养准备充分的高素质学生，并有动力在 STEM 领域追求研究生教育或职业生涯。美国要保持全球竞争力，至关重要的是挖掘所有公民的才能，在支撑知识经济的 STEM 领域提供卓越的教育准备。 俄亥俄州 LSAMP 计划成立于 2013 年，旨在满足对更加多元化和熟练技术劳动力的需求。 这种需求仍然存在，并且在俄亥俄州尤为迫切。 该联盟的目标是在五年内将合作机构获得的少数族裔 (URM) 学士学位数量增加一倍。 组成俄亥俄州 LSAMP 的十个公共机构多种多样，包括四所社区学院和六所四年制机构，其中包括一所被归类为历史黑人学院和大学的合作伙伴。 这些机构包括中央州立大学、辛辛那提州立技术和社区学院、克利夫兰州立大学、哥伦布州立社区学院、凯霍加社区学院、迈阿密大学、辛克莱社区学院、俄亥俄州立大学、辛辛那提大学和莱特州立大学。 联盟的目标包括： 1) 继续采用创新的、基于证据的高影响力实践，这些实践已被证明在招募和留住 URM STEM 学生方面是有效的； 2）加强从社区大学到四年制大学平稳过渡的途径； 3) 启动创新干预措施，强化数学知识，改革数学课程，防止数学成为 URM 学生在 STEM 领域进步的障碍； 4) 为 URM STEM 学生提供更多获得高质量教师指导的研究经验的机会； 5) 为 URM 学生做好准备并促进他们无缝过渡到 STEM 研究生课程； 6) 制定并实施联盟范围内的沟通计划，包括互动网站，以实现有效的沟通和信息传播。 这些目标支持美国国家科学基金会的战略目标，即“培养世界一流的、具有广泛包容性的科学和工程劳动力，并提高所有公民的科学素养”。 为了支持这些目标，联盟范围内的活动包括年度研究会议以及联盟工作组在辅助研究、交流、社区大学途径、企业参与和数学课程改革方面的活动。 联盟每个合作机构的高影响力实践包括咨询和转学支持服务、过渡/提前到达计划、辅导、同伴指导、教师指导和本科生研究以及专业发展。 值得注意的是，四所社区学院均与该联盟的四年制院校位于同一城市，该联盟的重点是为 URM 提供可行的社区大学通往 STEM 学位的途径。 上述活动将产生更高的保留率和毕业率；该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
