LSAMP-NICE Center aims to boost international research opportunities for underrepresented minorities across the United States through collaboration with international organizations and institutions, and alliances with domestic organization supporting the participation of underrepresented minority students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). For almost 30 years, the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), has supported undergraduate and graduate students from historically underrepresented minority groups across the United States in STEM fields through evidence-based strategies, such as Research Experiences for Undergraduates and bridge-to-Ph.D. programs. LSAMP-NICE merges the knowledge and best practices of LSAMP alliance institutions to broaden the participation of minority scientists in international research experiences.
