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 and supports the production of scholarly research in STEM broadening participation. 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: Blacks and African Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. These strategies facilitate the production of highly competitive students motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM. For the United States (U.S.) 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 North Star STEM Alliance (NSSA) consists of four University of Minnesota campuses (Twin Cities, Duluth, Morris and Rochester); seven Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (Bemidji State, Century College, Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College, Metropolitan State, Minneapolis Community and Technical College, St. Cloud State College), two tribal colleges (White Earth Tribal and Community College and Red Lake Nation College) and three private colleges (Augsburg, Carleton, and St. Olaf). Community partners include the Science Museum of Minnesota, Minnesota High Tech Association, and the Minnesota Education Equity Partnership. Over the five-year period, the alliance will increase STEM B. S. degrees from 700 in 2022 to 1,000 annually by 2028 by providing financial support (stipends) for domestic and international research experiences, internships, supplemental instruction and other student support services and alliances research conferences as evidence-based high impact practices in recruitment and retention. The social science research project examines the transition of STEM graduates from college, focusing particularly on psychosocial factors during points of transition associated with career pathways. The combination of prospective and retrospective data will be produced about how to help orient students beyond the bachelor’s degree and toward the next steps in their educational and career pathways. The alliance will broadly disseminate results from project evaluation activities and the NSSA study via conferences such as American Educational Research Association (AERA), International Society for the Learning Sciences among other professional associations.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.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划协助大学和学院努力显着增加入学并成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科高质量学位课程的学生数量，以实现多元化特别强调通过创新、循证的招募和保留策略以及历史上支持种族和族裔群体的相关教育经验来改变本科生 STEM 教育。在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体：黑人和非裔美国人、西班牙裔和拉丁美洲人、美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民，这些策略有助于培养具有高度竞争力的学生，他们有动力在 STEM 领域攻读研究生或职业。美国 (U.S.) 要保持全球竞争力，就必须充分利用所有公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的 STEM 领域提供卓越的教育准备。北极星 STEM 联盟 (NSSA) 包括以下成员：明尼苏达大学的四个校区（双子城、德卢斯、莫里斯和罗切斯特）；七所明尼苏达州立学院和大学（伯米吉州立大学、世纪学院、丰迪拉克部落和社区学院、大都会州立大学、明尼阿波利斯社区和技术学院、圣克劳德）州立学院）、两所部落学院（白土部落和社区学院和红湖国家学院）和三所私立学院（奥格斯堡、卡尔顿和圣奥拉夫）社区合作伙伴包括明尼苏达科学博物馆、明尼苏达高科技协会、在五年期间，该联盟将通过为国内和国际研究经验、实习、补充指导和其他方面提供财政支持（津贴），将 STEM 学士学位从 2022 年的 700 个增加到 2028 年的 1,000 个。学生支持服务和联盟研究会议作为招聘和保留方面基于证据的高影响力实践社会科学研究项目研究了 STEM 毕业生从大学毕业的转变，特别关注社会心理因素。在与职业道路相关的过渡阶段，将生成前瞻性和回顾性数据，帮助学生在获得学士学位后走向下一步的教育和职业道路。该联盟将广泛传播项目评估的结果。通过美国教育研究协会 (AERA)、国际学习科学学会等专业协会等会议开展活动和 NSSA 研究。该奖项是 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进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
