NSF LSAMP Pre-PhD Research Program - Cal NERDS

The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) is an NSF-funded program that has two primary goals:  1) to increase the retention and graduation of historically underrepresented minority students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, such that 2) these students will diversify the nation’s STEM careers.  The California Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP) is a collaboration of the nine undergraduate degree-granting University of California (UC) institutions.  Students gain many advantages through the academic and professional development opportunities that increase retention and degree completion. These include workshops, LinkedIn coaching, career pathway advising, and professional development grants to help support STEM graduate school  applications, etc.
