The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation
(LSAMP) program invests in the Nation's colleges and universities to aid
student success to create a new generation of STEM discoverers for the national
STEM enterprise. The program takes a comprehensive approach to the STEM
Learning Ecosystem to impact STEM student development and retention.

LSAMP is an alliance-based program, whereby a group of
institutions of higher education (IHEs) work together to diversify the nation's
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce by
increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to
persons from LSAMP populations.



Number of proposals:



  • Only one ADG, SPIO, or SPRA proposal may be submitted by
    an eligible (lead) institution (IHE). Alliances (SPIO, SPRA) may hold only one

    be a formal partner in more than one alliance at the same time.


  • Up to two BD-Doctoral proposals may be submitted from an
    alliance.
