What We Are About

The NSF Louis Stokes Alliance 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. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming undergraduate STEM education through educational experiences in support of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in the STEM disciplines: African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders.

Who We Are Now

The UTRGV NSF-LSAMP program offers opportunities for undergraduate students in STEM disciplines to conduct summer research as part of the Summer Research Academy, which is a two month program. Students are paired with a faculty member and receive a stipend for conducting research.  Students  participate in research in any one of the 8 UT system campuses and attend the UT System LSAMP Conference in September of the current year to present their research poster. Please go to the tab “Apply Now” to apply to the Summer Research Academy. Participants who are part of the Summer Research Academy have the opportunity to conduct research abroad the following summer.
