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 populations 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 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 Virginia-North Carolina STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (VA-NC SPRA) has formed an alliance in response to the need for a more diverse and skilled technical workforce. That need still exists and is particularly acute in the States of Virginia and North Carolina. The institutions that make up the Alliance are diverse and include the University of Virginia, lead institution, Bennett College, Elizabeth City State University, George Mason University, Johnson C. Smith University, National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Old Dominion University, Piedmont Virginia Community College, St. Augustine’s University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Through this project, the Alliance will implement activities to support student success by improving retention, participation in undergraduate research, and the overall number of historically underrepresented populations graduating with STEM degrees from the eleven Alliance institutions. Through this effort, researchers involved in this project believe that the improved results will strengthen the STEM workforce in the States of Virginia and North Carolina and ultimately contribute to America's national security.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）与少数群体参与（LSAMP）计划（LSAMP）计划协助大学努力大大增加了成熟并成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科领域的高质量学位课程的学生人数，以使STEM劳动力多样化。特别强调通过创新的，基于循证的招聘和保留策略以及相关的教育经验来转变本科STEM教育，以支持STEM学科中人口不足的人群：非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，美国印第安人，印第安人，阿拉斯加原住民，夏威夷原住民，夏威夷原住民和原住民太平洋岛民。这些策略支持制备精美的学生的生产，高素质且有动力购买STEM的研究生教育或职业。对于美国保持全球竞争力，至关重要的是，它至关重要的是，它可以攻入所有公民的才华，并在基于知识的经济的STEM领域提供出色的教育准备。弗吉尼亚北卡罗来纳州的茎道和研究联盟（VA-NC Spra）成立了一个联盟，以应对需要更多样化和熟练的技术劳动力。在弗吉尼亚州和北卡罗来纳州，这种需求仍然存在，特别是急剧。构成联盟的机构是分歧的，包括弗吉尼亚大学，贝纳特学院，贝内特学院，伊丽莎白市州立大学，乔治·梅森大学，乔治·梅森大学，约翰逊·C·史密斯大学，国家无线电球天文台，旧多米尼翁大学，皮埃蒙特弗吉尼亚大学，皮埃蒙特弗吉尼亚州社区学院，圣奥古斯丁社区，圣奥古斯丁大学，弗吉尼亚大学，弗吉尼亚州联邦大学，弗吉尼亚州和弗吉尼亚州理发师学会和州立大学和州立大学。通过该项目，联盟将通过改善保留率，参与本科研究以及历史上代表性不足的人群的总数，从11个联盟机构中的STEM学位增长，以支持学生成功的活动。通过这项努力，参与该项目的研究人员认为，改进的结果将加强弗吉尼亚州和北卡罗来纳州的STEM劳动力，并最终为美国的国家安全做出了贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来通过评估来获得的支持。
