The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program provides funding to alliances of institutions that implement comprehensive, evidence-based, and sustained approaches to broadening participation of students from racial/ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders) primarily at the undergraduate level. These approaches facilitate the production of well-prepared students highly-qualified and motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM.Beginning FY2016, LSAMP now accepts proposals for "pre-alliance planning grants" that would support the planning necessary for developing the partnerships and activities required to form new alliances (including Bridge to the Baccalaureate). The expected outcomes of these grants include: (i) commitment from institutional leaders and STEM faculty at partner institutions; (ii) evidence of cohesive partnerships between institutions; (iii) creation of a vision and/or theme for a future alliance; and (iv) comprehensive plans for alliance activities that would lead to the submission of an LSAMP (alliance) proposal.With the ultimate goal of forming an alliance in Northern New England (NNE), The University of New Hampshire (UNH) will use the pre-alliance planning grant to assess the needs, institutional climates and infrastructure of potential alliance partners. In particular, UNH will lead efforts to: (i) assemble an advisory team comprised of experienced LSAMP program directors for guidance on the culture and best practices for LSAMP operation; (ii) develop and integrate a new LSAMP for NNE that aligns with and leverages the commitments of the region's institutions of higher education to increase the racial and ethnic diversity among holders of STEM degrees; and (iii) develop an evidence-based and goal-oriented approach for NNE LSAMP activities.

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划为实施全面，循证和持续方法的机构联盟提供资金，以扩大历史上在STEM（非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，美洲印第安人，阿拉斯加原住民，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民）中代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的学生的参与，主要是在本科阶段。从2016财政年度开始，LSAMP现在接受“联盟前规划赠款”的建议，以支持必要的规划，以发展建立新联盟所需的伙伴关系和活动（包括通向学士学位的桥梁）。这些赠款的预期成果包括：㈠伙伴机构的机构领导人和STEM教员的承诺; ㈡机构之间有凝聚力的伙伴关系的证据; ㈢为未来的联盟创造愿景和/或主题;以及（iv）为联盟活动制定全面计划，以提交LSAMP（联盟）提案。最终目标是在北方新英格兰（NNE）建立联盟，新罕布什尔州大学（UNH）将利用联盟前规划赠款评估潜在联盟伙伴的需求、机构气候和基础设施。具体而言，联合国人居署将牵头开展以下工作：㈠组建一个由经验丰富的地方行政管理和职业培训方案主任组成的咨询小组，就地方行政管理和职业培训方案的文化和最佳做法提供指导; ㈡为东北地区制定和整合一个新的地方行政管理和职业培训方案，该方案与该地区高等教育机构的承诺保持一致，并利用这些承诺，增加STEM学位持有者的种族和族裔多样性;以及（iii）为NNE LSAMP活动制定基于证据和目标导向的方法。
