Effective May 2, 2025
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorities.
NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant to NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) term and condition entitled 'Termination and Enforcement,' on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities. This is the final agency decision and not subject to appeal.
Who are we?
The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) is an initiative funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). LSAMP supports alliances between institutions of higher education and other organizations to increase STEM degrees for LSAMP participants and support research on STEM participation and broader impacts.
The North Star STEM Alliance, the Minnesota branch of the national LSAMP program, is dedicated to increasing STEM degree attainment. Through partnerships with higher education institutions and support from the NSF and 3M, we provide stipends, research funding, travel opportunities, networking opportunities, industry site visits, STEM career exploration, and more to help our undergraduate students succeed in STEM fields.
