The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation Grant (LSAMP).

The LSAMP program provides funding to alliances that implement comprehensive, evidence-based, innovative, and sustained strategies that ultimately result in the graduation of well-prepared, highly-qualified students from underrepresented groups who pursue graduate studies or careers in STEM.

This program seeks to benefit racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. Full proposal deadline is November 4, 2016. Visit their website to read the full specifications and guidelines.
