With support from the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) this STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (SPRA) from the lead institution at Sacramento State, the California State University (CSU) LSAMP is a coordinated and comprehensive program dedicated to broadening participation in STEM at all 23 campuses of the CSU system. Since its inception in 1993, CSU-LSAMP has served close to 30,000 CSU students where 83% are from racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM. By engaging approximately 2,000 participants annually, CSU-LSAMP will continue to have a significant impact on increasing overall STEM student persistence and the number of STEM degrees awarded to underrepresented students. CSU-LSAMP has already illustrated increased rates of graduation and completion of STEM graduate degrees for LSAMP students who participated in undergraduate research experiences. Moving forward, CSU-LSAMP will leverage its large size, varied institutions, and coordinated structure to produce new knowledge on the impact of inclusive mentoring practices on the academic success of undergraduate researchers.The specific aims of the project are to: (1) increase the number of students who face economic, educational, and social barriers in careers in STEM earning undergraduate and graduate STEM degrees; (2) contribute new knowledge about the impacts of mentoring practices that emphasize cultural awareness on the academic persistence and career choices of undergraduate STEM researchers from minoritized populations; and (3) create a plan of institutionalization and sustainability that supports the academic retention and success of STEM students across the CSU system. By conducting a mixed-methods study using a purposive sampling strategy to survey LSAMP student researchers and their faculty mentors across the 23 CSU campuses, CSU-LSAMP will produce scholarly works focused on understanding the role research mentor training and practices, including attention to cultural diversity, play in influencing the academic success and career decisions of undergraduate STEM researchers. Results of the study will be broadly disseminated to the national LSAMP, and academic research communities to ensure the replication of successful undergraduate inclusive mentoring practices as an intervention model that increases student access to, and success in admissions to STEM graduate programs. The LSAMP program takes a comprehensive approach to student development and retention. 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 historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines. Therefore, the project will contribute significantly the broadening participation in academe and science research.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.

在路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 的支持下，这个 STEM 途径和研究联盟 (SPRA) 由萨克拉门托州立大学 (CSU) 的牵头机构组成，LSAMP 是一项协调一致的综合计划，致力于扩大 STEM 的参与科罗拉多州立大学系统的所有 23 个校区。自 1993 年成立以来，CSU-LSAMP 已为近 30,000 名 CSU 学生提供服务，其中 83% 来自历来在 STEM 领域代表性不足的种族和族裔群体。通过每年吸引约 2,000 名参与者，CSU-LSAMP 将继续对提高 STEM 学生的整体坚持程度以及向代表性不足的学生授予 STEM 学位的数量产生重大影响。 CSU-LSAMP 已经表明，参加本科研究经历的 LSAMP 学生的 STEM 研究生学位毕业率和完成率有所提高。展望未来，CSU-LSAMP 将利用其庞大的规模、多样化的机构和协调的结构，产生关于包容性指导实践对本科研究人员学术成功的影响的新知识。该项目的具体目标是：(1) 增加在 STEM 职业中面临经济、教育和社会障碍并获得 STEM 本科和研究生学位的学生数量； (2) 贡献关于强调文化意识的指导实践对来自少数群体的本科 STEM 研究人员的学术坚持和职业选择的影响的新知识； (3) 制定制度化和可持续性计划，支持科罗拉多州立大学系统内 STEM 学生的学业保留和成功。通过使用有目的抽样策略对 23 个 CSU 校区的 LSAMP 学生研究人员及其教师导师进行混合方法研究，CSU-LSAMP 将制作学术著作，重点关注了解角色研究导师的培训和实践，包括对文化多样性的关注，在影响本科 STEM 研究人员的学术成功和职业决策方面发挥着作用。研究结果将广泛传播给国家 LSAMP 和学术研究团体，以确保复制成功的本科生包容性指导实践，作为一种干预模式，增加学生进入 STEM 研究生项目的机会并成功录取。 LSAMP 项目采用全面的方法来促进学生的发展和保留。特别强调通过创新的、基于证据的招募和保留策略以及相关的教育经验来改变本科 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的种族和族裔群体。因此，该项目将为扩大学术和科学研究的参与做出重大贡献。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
