The overall goal of the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) 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 persons from LSAMP populations LSAMP populations are defined as persons from groups underrepresented in the STEM enterprise: Blacks and African-Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. The LSAMP Program priorities are to (a) increase individual student retention and progression to baccalaureate degrees for underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, (b) enable successful transfer of underrepresented students from 2-year to 4-yearinstitutions in STEM programs (c) increase access to high quality undergraduate research experiences, and (d) facilitate seamless transition of underrepresented students into STEM graduate programs. The Southern Nevada Northern Arizona LSAMP (SNNA-LSAMP) is an alliance of higher education institutions that includes research universities (University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Northern Arizona University) and community colleges (College of Southern Nevada and Coconino Community College) in the Lower Colorado River Basin. SNNA-LSAMP's goal is to increase substantially the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who earn science, technology, engineering, and technology (STEM) baccalaureate degrees at alliance institutions within five years.SNNA-LSAMP will provide services and activities that bolster the academic performance, persistence, and graduation rates of students underrepresented in STEM at alliance institutions. Specifically, SNNA-LSAMP will provide these students with intensive, near-peer mentoring; out-of-class STEM activities that enhance socialization of STEM disciplines; undergraduate research opportunities; internships; registration for enrollment in STEM courses; and access to all academic support services provided on alliance campuses. Furthermore, SNNA-LSAMP will facilitate the smooth transitions for participants transferring from its community colleges to its universities, as well as provide upper-division participants with step-by-step guidance through the process of applying to graduate school. SNNA-LSAMP will improve the STEM classroom experience for students from LSAMP populations by providing workshops that enhance the multicultural competence of professors and instructors at alliance institutions. The project will be a vital component of efforts to diversify and significantly expand the pool of highly qualified STEM workers in southern Nevada and northern Arizona, accelerating the region's ongoing transformation into fertile ground for STEM startups and will be an attractive destination for established STEM-based businesses seeking to relocate.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.

The overall goal of the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) 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 persons from LSAMP populations LSAMP populations are defined as persons from groups underrepresented in the STEM enterprise: Blacks and非裔美国人，西班牙裔和拉丁美洲裔美国人，美洲印第安人，阿拉斯加原住民，夏威夷人和太平洋岛民。 The LSAMP Program priorities are to (a) increase individual student retention and progression to baccalaureate degrees for underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, (b) enable successful transfer of underrepresented students from 2-year to 4-yearinstitutions in STEM programs (c) increase access to high quality undergraduate research experiences, and (d) facilitate seamless transition of underrepresented students into STEM graduate programs.内华达州北部亚利桑那州兰州南部（SNNA-LSAMP）是高等教育机构的联盟，其中包括研究型大学（内华达大学，拉斯维加斯大学和北亚利桑那大学）和社区学院（南内华达州和科科尼诺群岛南部学院），位于下科罗拉多河流域。 SNNA-LSAMP's goal is to increase substantially the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who earn science, technology, engineering, and technology (STEM) baccalaureate degrees at alliance institutions within five years.SNNA-LSAMP will provide services and activities that bolster the academic performance, persistence, and graduation rates of students underrepresented in STEM at alliance institutions.具体而言，SNNA-LSAMP将为这些学生提供密集的，近乎靠近的指导。会增强STEM学科的社会化的课外STEM活动；本科研究机会；实习；注册STEM课程的注册；并访问联盟校园提供的所有学术支持服务。此外，SNNA-LSAMP将促进从其社区学院转移到大学的参与者的平稳过渡，并通过申请研究生院的过程为上级参与者提供逐步指导。 SNNA-LSAMP将通过提供讲习班来提高联盟机构教授和讲师的多元文化能力，从而改善来自LSAMP人群的学生的STEM课堂体验。该项目将是在内华达州南部和亚利桑那州北部多样化并显着扩大高素质STEM工人努力的重要组成部分，加速了该地区的持续转型为STEM创业公司的肥沃基础，并将成为寻求搬迁的基于STEM的企业的有吸引力的目的地。 标准。
