The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program
Overview
The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program is designed to develop the
comprehensive strategies necessary to strengthen the preparation and increase the number of minority
students who successfully complete baccalaureates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This objective facilitates the
long-term goal increasing the production of Ph.Ds in STEM fields with an emphasis on entry into
into faculty positions.
The LSAMP program requires each awardee to establish meaningful partnerships among academic
institutions, and encourages the inclusion of government agencies and laboratories, industry and professional
organizations. It is expected that successful partnerships will enable development of approaches tailored to
the institutional setting for achievement of program goals in STEM undergraduate education. Supported activities include, among
others: student enrichment, such as collaborative learning, skill development, and mentoring; academic enrichment, such as curricular and instructional improvement; and direct student support,
such as summer activities.
