The pilot program has a goal to develop international research experiences for Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) students. As such a Discovery and Innovation Center for International Undergraduate Research Experiences (LSAMP-INT) will be initiated. In this pilot, 16 participants will be recruited from LSAMP programs nationwide. These participants will be given deep immersion experiences in a variety of renowed research laboratories around the world. In particular, the students will be embedded in international (REU) Sites (iREU). About half of the participants will be sent to a set of primary iREU Sites involving France, Brazil, Argentina, and Ghana that are coordinated by the PIs through the University of Florida. The other half of the participants will be embedded in about 18 other iREU Sites that span much of the world and represent most directorates of NSF depending on the experience and interest of the LSAMP student participants. The cohort of students will share common predeparture and post-program experiences designed to maximize the broader impact of their international research experience. In particular, scientists at the Smithsonian and Florida Museum of Natural History will participate in the pilot program to enhance students' ability to communicate research to the public impacting public understanding of science.The pilot year will be the pre-cursor to a multi-year program to aid in the development of a diverse workforce with global science competencies critical to continued U. S. competitiveness.

该试点计划的目标是为路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）的学生发展国际研究经验。 因此，将启动国际本科生研究经验发现和创新中心（LSAMP-INT）。 在该试点中，将从全国LSAMP项目中招募16名参与者。 这些参与者将在世界各地的各种知名研究实验室中获得深入的沉浸式体验。 特别是，学生将被嵌入国际（REU）网站（iREU）。 大约一半的参与者将被派往一组主要的iREU研究中心，这些研究中心涉及法国、巴西、阿根廷和加纳，由PI通过佛罗里达大学进行协调。 另一半的参与者将被嵌入到大约18个其他iREU网站，这些网站遍布世界大部分地区，并代表NSF的大多数董事会，这取决于LSAMP学生参与者的经验和兴趣。 这批学生将分享共同的出发前和计划后的经验，旨在最大限度地提高他们的国际研究经验的更广泛的影响。 特别是，史密森尼和佛罗里达自然历史博物馆的科学家将参与试点项目，以提高学生向公众传播研究成果的能力，从而影响公众对科学的理解。S.竞争力
