LSAMP: EMAIL TEXT FOR STUDENT PARTICIPATION

Dear [insert name],

We are writing to ask for your help with an important study to help us better understand how students like you think about your work with the NSF-funded Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program. NORC at the University of Chicago is collaborating with the NSF for this important work. The purpose of the study is to better understand the ways that LSAMP has shaped STEM-related practices at participating institutions and the ways this might impact students like yourself. We are planning to conduct site visits at select alliance sites, planned for Spring 2026.

We will be conducting focus groups with students during our site visit and would love to include you. The focus group would be a wonderful opportunity to share your perspective on LSAMP and the ways it has shaped your experiences at [insert institution name]. We will schedule the focus group at your convenience. Please fill out your availability here: [insert link] and we will follow up with potential times.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

[NORC Contacts, NSF Contact]
