The Northeast LSAMP (NELSAMP) has significantly increased underrepresented minority (URM) enrollment in STEM baccalaureate disciplines and their graduation at five independent institutions located in three different states. The Alliance enables its institutions to implement best practices that ensure student success, such as research opportunities and formal Supplemental Instruction programs. It also provides opportunities for NELSAMP students from the five institutions to interact and find a larger identity group through Alliance-wide events.The proposed NELSAMP Senior Alliance aims to maintain and build upon its existing programs, develop intentional pathways for student progression from community college STEM associate degree programs into NELSAMP, and implement an NELSAMP-specific international research experience for upper level students. In addition, it will encourage other NELSAMP students to participate in existing international research activities by providing travel support funds.The intellectual merit of the NELSAMP Senior Alliance is reflected in several aspects of its work. NELSAMP will develop a cohort model to track and support URM community college students through their combined AS-BS sequence in STEM majors. Near-peer activities and participation in Alliance-wide events will improve student persistence during their community college years. The international research components will, similarly, add to STEM persistence in the third and fourth undergraduate years.The broader impacts of this proposed NELSAMP Senior Alliance include the increased pipeline of students from URM populations in three states who persist from high school ?directly or through community college -to degree completion in baccalaureate STEM disciplines. In addition to buttressing persistence in STEM for upper level NELSAMP students, the success of a dedicated international research experience program in South Africa ? a country with many institutions eager to partner with Alliances- should serve as a model to expand dramatically the number of international opportunities for other LSAMP students.

东北LSAMP（NELSAMP）显着增加了代表性不足的少数民族（URM）在STEM学士学位学科的入学率，并在位于三个不同州的五所独立机构毕业。该联盟使其机构能够实施确保学生成功的最佳实践，例如研究机会和正式的补充教学计划。它还为来自五所院校的NELSAMP学生提供了互动的机会，并通过联盟范围内的活动找到更大的身份群体。拟议的NELSAMP高级联盟旨在维持和建立其现有的计划，为学生从社区大学STEM副学士学位课程到NELSAMP的发展提供有意向的途径，并为高年级学生提供NELSAMP特定的国际研究经验。此外，它将通过提供旅费资助，鼓励其他NELSAMP学生参加现有的国际研究活动。NELSAMP高级联盟的智力优势反映在其工作的几个方面。NELSAMP将开发一个队列模型，以跟踪和支持URM社区学院的学生通过他们的组合AS-BS序列在STEM专业。近同龄人的活动和参与联盟范围内的活动将提高学生在社区大学期间的坚持性。国际研究的组成部分，同样，增加了干持久性在第三和第四个本科年级。这一拟议的NELSAMP高级联盟的更广泛的影响，包括增加管道的学生从URM人口在三个州谁坚持从高中？直接或通过社区学院-完成学士学位STEM学科。除了支持在STEM的坚持为上层NELSAMP学生，一个专门的国际研究经验计划在南非的成功？作为一个拥有许多渴望与联盟合作的机构的国家，LSAMP应该成为一个模型，以显着扩大其他LSAMP学生的国际机会的数量。
