The LSAMP Indiana Undergraduate Research Program emphasizes the development of broad-based regional and national alliances of academic institutions, school districts, state and local governments, and the private sector to increase the diversity and quality of the science, technology, engineering and mathematic work force. The program is made possible with the support of the National Science Foundation.
