Abstract

The Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander LSAMP Development project, hosted by Chaminade University with the University of Hawaii system, seeks to gather parties from 19 different Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander serving institutions across the Pacific, for the purpose of developing a Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP). The development of a successful LSAMP Alliance will be able to reach at least 18,000 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students among the Alliance partners. The INTELLECTUAL MERIT of the project resides in the fact that the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a Research I institution, will provide the scientific and intellectual leadership in the Alliance. The BROADER IMPACTS of the proposed activities are the increase in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander academic institution and student participation in STEM disciplines.
