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 under-represented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders.The 2020-2024 Puerto Rico Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (PR-LSAMP) STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (SPRA) project, under the leadership of the University of Puerto Rico, will build on the successes of previous support to attract, recruit and retain STEM students in undergraduate and graduate studies to degree completion. The alliance is comprised of: (1) the University of Puerto Rico System: two graduate campuses - Río Piedras and Mayaguez and six 4-year campuses - Aguadilla, Arecibo, Bayamon, Cayey, Humacao, and Ponce; (2) the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico; and (3) the Ana G. Méndez University System - the Universidad Metropolitana, Universidad del Este, and Universidad del Turabo. PR-LSAMP provides a model for a seamless pipeline to increase the number of underrepresented minority groups that complete a PhD in STEM fields. It documents and disseminates the effectiveness of the replicable undergraduate research mentoring strategy to increase the number of underrepresented students that continue on to graduate studies and contribute to the diversity of the nation's STEM workforce. Furthermore, it disseminates and applies concepts of Learning Science to improve learning and teaching in STEM disciplines in a transformative manner.A requirement of this project is the production and dissemination of broadening participation research. Thus, the project will conduct impact studies to answer the following questions: (1) Which components of the PR-LSAMP model are more effective at mediating changes in different institutional or regional contexts? and (2) To what extent does participating in the PR-LSAMP model changes student’s non-cognitive attributes (self-efficacy, outcome expectations and STEM interest)? Support for this project is provided by the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), that aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education and build capacity at HSIs, the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP), and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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·斯托克（Louis Stoks）参加少数群体参与（LSAMP）计划（LSAMP）计划，通过他们的努力大大增加了成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的高质量学位课程的努力，帮助大学和学院多样化STEM劳动力。特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留策略和经验来转变STEM教育，以支持在历史上不足以代表性的STEM学科中的群体：非洲裔美国人，阿拉斯加原住民，美洲印第安人，美国印第安人，西班牙裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，夏威夷原住民夏威夷人和太平洋岛屿的原住民参与。在波多黎各大学的领导下，联盟（SPRA）项目将以先前支持的成功来吸引，招募和保留本科生和研究生学习的STEM学生的成功。该联盟的完成：（1）波多黎各大学系统：两个研究生校园-RíoPiedras和Mayaguez以及六个4年的4年校园-Aguadilla，Arecibo，Bayamon，Cayey，Humacao和Ponce； （2）波多黎各教义天主教大学； （3）ANAG.Méndez大学系统 - 大都会大学，埃斯特大学和Turabo大学。 PR-LSAMP为无缝管道提供了一个模型，以增加在茎场中完成博士学位的代表性不足的少数群体的数量。它记录并传播了可复制的本科研究心理策略的有效性，以增加继续从事研究生学习的代表性不足的学生的数量，并为国家STEM劳动力的多样性做出了贡献。此外，它传播并应用了学习科学的概念，以变革性的方式在STEM学科中改善学习和教学。该项目的要求是生产和传播扩大参与研究。这是该项目将进行影响研究以回答以下问题：（1）PR-LSAMP模型的哪些组成部分更有效地介导不同制度或区域环境的变化？ （2）参与PR-LSAMP模型在多大程度上改变了学生的非认知属性（自我效能，结果期望和STEM兴趣）？对该项目的支持是由改善本科生的STEM教育提供的支持：西班牙裔服务机构（HSI计划），旨在增强HSIS的本科茎教育和建立能力，路易斯·斯托克斯（Louis Stokes）在少数族裔参与（LSAMP）（LSAMP）（LSAMP）以及通过启发竞争性研究（EPSCOR）的启发性研究（EPSCOR）。基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评论标准。
