As an institution ranked among the top 50 research universities in the nation, and one of the top graduate research
universities in Louisiana, Tulane University is positioned to play an important role in meeting the statewide goals of
LS-LAMP.

Tulane University's primary role in the LS-LAMP program is to provide research opportunities to minority students. Providing
undergraduate opportunities to participate in scientific research is an effective means of motivating them to pursue graduate
education and, ultimately, careers in sciences. This is the rationale for many of the undergraduate research programs
offered through granting agencies and institutions of higher learning. Likewise, research opportunities targeted at minority
undergraduates is an effective means of recruiting minorities into the sciences.
