LSAMP and AGEP PROGRAMS

The Alliances for Broadening Participation in STEM (ABP) solicitation
includes the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP)
program, Bridge to the Doctorate (LSAMP-BD) Activity, and the
Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP)
program.

This portfolio of programs seek to increase the number of students
successfully completing quality degree programs in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Particular emphasis
is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative academic
strategies and experiences in support of groups that historically have
been underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan
Natives, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Pacific
Islanders.

Managed synergistically, the ABP cluster enables seamless transitions
from the STEM baccalaureate to attainment of the doctorate and entry
to the STEM professoriate. ABP support begins at the baccalaureate
level through the LSAMP program. LSAMP emphasizes development of
broad based regional and national alliances of academic institutions,
school districts, state and local governments, and the private sector
to increase the diversity and quality of the STEM workforce. Eligible
LSAMP undergraduate students may receive continued support for up to
two additional years of STEM graduate study through the Bridge to the
Doctorate (BD) Activity. The Bridge to the Doctorate provides
significant financial support for matriculating candidates in STEM
graduate programs at eligible alliance sites.

Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) furthers
the graduate education of underrepresented STEM students through the
doctorate level, preparing them for fulfilling opportunities and
productive careers as STEM faculty and research professionals. AGEP
also supports the transformation of institutional culture to attract
and retain STEM doctoral students into the professorate.

Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) projects enable
faculty, administrators, and others in institutions to think and act
strategically about the creative integration of NSF-funded awards,
with particular emphasis on awards managed through programs in the
Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), but not limited
to those awards. For Fiscal Year 2009, proposals are being solicited
in nine EHR programs that advance I3 goals: CREST, GSE, HBCU-UP,
ITEST, LSAMP, MSP, Noyce, RDE, and TCUP.
