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 Garden State LSAMP (GSLSAMP) program was established in 2009 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 New Jersey. The eight public and private institutions that make up the GSLSAMP are diverse and include one community college and seven four-year institutions, including one private institution. The institutions are Essex County College, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Kean University, Montclair State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University New Brunswick and Newark, and William Paterson University. The goal of the Alliance is to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) graduates with STEM degrees by 60% over the next five years. This goal will be accomplished by integrating GSLSAMP efforts and proven best practices into institutional, local and regional efforts that encourage success in STEM including learning communities, research experiences, academic bootcamps, collaboration with the community colleges of the Northern New Jersey Bridges to the Baccalaureate, research conferences and advisement. It will also increase the number of urban minority students from GSLSAMP institutions pursuing graduate education and international experiences by 20% through integrated research experiences and graduate school preparation and advisement. 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."The knowledge generating research study seeks to understand the factors and mechanisms related to the GSLSAMP's successes in increasing the participation of URM students in STEM from several common and uncommon sources and their subsequent graduation with an undergraduate STEM degree. The studies will potentially reveal the factors and mechanisms in the STEM academic pipeline that increase URM students' interests and efforts in pursuing graduate training and a career in STEM, which will lead to a more talented and diverse STEM workforce. An external evaluation team will implement both quantitative and qualitative instruments to assess the overall quality of the programs on the individual campuses as well as the entire alliance related to the overall goals of the project.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 多元化劳动力。 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。 花园州 LSAMP (GSLSAMP) 计划于 2009 年设立，旨在满足对更加多样化和熟练的技术劳动力的需求。 这种需求仍然存在，并且在新泽西州尤为迫切。 组成 GSLSAMP 的八所公立和私立机构多种多样，包括一所社区学院和七所四年制机构，其中包括一所私立机构。 这些机构包括埃塞克斯县学院、费尔利狄金森大学、基恩大学、蒙特克莱尔州立大学、新泽西理工学院、罗格斯大学新不伦瑞克和纽瓦克分校以及威廉帕特森大学。 该联盟的目标是在未来五年内将获得 STEM 学位的少数族裔 (URM) 毕业生人数增加 60%。 这一目标将通过将 GSLSAMP 的努力和经过验证的最佳实践整合到机构、地方和区域的努力中来实现，这些努力鼓励 STEM 的成功，包括学习社区、研究经验、学术训练营、与新泽西北部桥梁社区学院的合作，研究会议和建议。通过综合研究经验以及研究生院准备和建议，GSLSAMP 机构攻读研究生教育和国际经历的城市少数民族学生人数还将增加 20%。 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。”知识生成研究旨在了解与 GSLSAMP 相关的因素和机制。成功地提高了 URM 学生从几个常见和不常见来源参与 STEM 的程度，并在随后毕业时获得了 STEM 本科学位。 这些研究将有可能揭示 STEM 学术管道中的因素和机制，从而增加 URM 学生在研究生培训和 STEM 职业生涯中的兴趣和努力，这将导致一支更有才华和多样化的 STEM 劳动力队伍。 外部评估小组将采用定量和定性工具来评估各个校园以及整个联盟与项目总体目标相关的项目的整体质量。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的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来提供支持。
