The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce through efforts to significantly increase the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority populations (African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders) to successfully complete high quality STEM degree programs.The Louis Stokes Inclusive Mentoring in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (Louis Stokes IM STEM) Center of Excellence will bring together experts dedicated to investigating successful and promising practices for inclusive STEM mentoring along several STEM pathways and in various learning environments. The Center will collaborate with academic institutions, Department of Energy (DoE) national laboratories, professional societies, and regional industrial partners in researching and augmenting inclusive mentoring activities for historically underrepresented minority (URM) students and students from other underserved populations. As the student population enrolled in higher education institutions continues to diversify, a deep understanding and widespread adoption of inclusive mentoring practices that promote student success is needed. The IM STEM Center, with leadership from the lead institutions of two NSF-funded LSAMP projects - University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) and Colorado State University (CSU), will serve the Southwest Rockies region by conducting knowledge-building and diffusion activities on STEM mentoring. Collaborating non-academic organizations include the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and professional STEM organizations including the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science, and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. The three focal areas to be addressed in project activities are mentoring of community college students in transition, mentoring of undergraduate and graduate student researchers, and mentoring of experiential learning students. An advisory board consisting of Presidential Awardees of Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PASEMEM) and STEM mentoring researchers, in addition to linkages to the existing Louis Stokes Midwest Regional Center of Excellence, provides a broad national range for the Center's research and dissemination activities. The Center will disseminate inclusive mentoring knowledge via workshops, journal articles, an edited monograph, institutional websites, and other varied formats useful to diverse audiences and educational institutions. The workshops will train both mentors and trainers interested in offering their own inclusive mentoring workshops. The Center has the potential to expand, elevate and influence conversations about effective mentoring among communities of STEM faculty, graduate students, and government and industry professionals committed to developing a strong, diversified 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（Louis Stok）少数群体参与（LSAMP）计划协助大学和学院通过努力通过努力来增加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力多样化计划。路易斯·斯托克斯（Louis Stokes）在科学，技术，工程和数学（路易斯·斯托克斯（Louis Stokes Im STEM））卓越中心（Louis Stokes im stem）卓越中心将召集专家，致力于调查成功且有前途的实践，以沿着多种STEM途径以及在各种学习环境中进行包容性的STEM指导。该中心将与学术机构，能源部（DOE）国家实验室，专业社会和区域工业伙伴合作研究和扩大来自历史上代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生和来自其他不足者人群的学生的包容性指导活动。随着高等教育机构入学的学生人数继续多样化，需要深入了解和广泛采用促进学生成功的包容性指导实践。 IM STEM中心的领导层来自两个NSF资助的LSAMP项目 - 德克萨斯大学 - EL PASO（UTEP）和科罗拉多州立大学（CSU），将通过在STEM指导上进行知识建设和扩散活动，为西南落基山脉地区提供服务。合作的非学术组织包括能源部的布鲁克黑文国家实验室，桑迪亚国家实验室和专业的STEM组织，包括奇卡诺斯/西班牙裔美国人和美国原住民学会，以及西班牙裔专业工程师协会。项目活动中要解决的三个重点领域是指导社区大学生过渡，指导本科和研究生研究人员以及对体验学习学生的指导。一个顾问委员会，包括科学，数学和工程指导卓越的总统获奖者（Pasemem）和STEM指导研究人员，除了与现有的路易斯·斯托克斯中西部地区卓越中心的联系外，还为该中心的研究和传播活动提供了广泛的国家范围。该中心将通过研讨会，期刊文章，编辑专着，机构网站以及其他可用于不同受众和教育机构有用的各种格式来传播包容性指导知识。这些研讨会将培训有兴趣提供自己包容性指导研讨会的导师和培训师。该中心有可能扩大，提升和影响有关STEM教师，研究生，政府和行业专业人员在致力于发展强大，多元化的STEM劳动力的社区中有效指导的对话。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为通过使用该基金会的知识和更广泛的影响来评估Criteria的评估，并被认为是值得通过评估的支持。
