Our Partners
Northeastern University, Tufts University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of Rhode Island, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute have joined to form the Northeast Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation. Our alliance receives funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to strengthen the preparation, representation, and success of historically under-represented minority students in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Research Opportunities
The Northeast Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation encourages our students to pursue research opportunities, locally and internationally. Many of our NELSAMP students choose to do a REU, Research Experience for Undergraduates. REUs consist of a close collaboration between a select group of undergraduate students, faculty, and other researchers who conduct a specific research project at a host institution. Students and faculty, please check our research page for the most recent research opportunities.
