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 in order 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 underrepresented in STEM disciplines: Blacks and African Americans, Hispanic and Latino 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. The need for cultivating STEM talent has been well established. 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 Nutmeg State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation will bring together the four regional public comprehensive universities in Connecticut. The alliance is led by Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) and includes partner institutions: Central Connecticut State University (CCSU), Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU), and Western Connecticut State University (WCSU). The primary goal is to increase the number of STEM graduates from underrepresented groups at each institution over the five-year period of the grant. The Nutmeg State alliance will employ comprehensive gateway mathematics and science course interventions to improve the early retention of students in STEM majors. These interventions include first-year learning communities, experiential learning, and summer bridge programs. Early research experiences with faculty mentors followed by an internship will build student self-identity as a scientist, computer scientist, or mathematician. The results of these initiatives will be shared with our feeder community colleges and high schools to better inform and prepare students from underrepresented groups interested in STEM before they come to undergraduate STEM programs. Finally, the alliance will enhance collaboration and strengthen ties between the local industry and STEM researchers to further facilitate institutionalization and sustainability of successful recruitment and retention practices.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）计划协助大学和大学努力大大增加了在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科中融入并成功完成高质量学位课程的学生人数，以便多元化STEM劳动力。特别强调通过创新，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学科中的种族和民族群体，以支持种族和族裔群体：黑人和非裔美国人，西班牙裔和拉丁裔美国人，美国印第安人，美国印度人，阿拉斯加，阿拉斯加，阿拉斯加，当地人，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。这些策略促进了精心准备的学生的生产，高素质和有动力从事STEM的研究生教育或职业。培养STEM人才的需求已得到充分确立。为了使美国保持全球竞争力，至关重要的是，它可以利用其所有公民的才华，并在基于知识经济的STEM地区提供出色的教育准备。肉豆蔻州路易斯·斯托克斯（Luis Stokes）少数派参与的联盟将汇集康涅狄格州的四个区域公共综合大学。 该联盟由南部康涅狄格州立大学（SCSU）领导，包括合作伙伴机构：中央康涅狄格州立大学（CCSU），东康涅狄格州立大学（ECSU）和西康涅狄格州立大学（WCSU）。 主要目标是在赠款的五年期间增加每个机构中代表性不足的群体的STEM毕业生人数。 肉豆蔻州联盟将采用全面的门户数学和科学课程干预措施，以改善Stem专业学生的早期保留。这些干预措施包括第一年学习社区，体验式学习和夏季桥梁计划。与教师导师的早期研究经验，随后是实习生，将建立学生自我认同，成为科学家，计算机科学家或数学家。 这些举措的结果将与我们的饲养员社区大学和高中共享，以更好地告知和准备对STEM的代表性不足的团体的学生，然后才能参加本科STEM课程。最后，联盟将增强本地行业与STEM研究人员之间的协作并加强联系，以进一步促进成功招聘和保留实践的制度化和可持续性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点通过评估来支持的。和更广泛的影响审查标准。
