Member Institutions
The Leadership Alliance is committed to the ideals that recruiting, mentoring, and training talented students from historically underrepresented groups at the critical transitions along the academic pathway will result in the emergence of the next generation of leaders in the research workforce. Toward this end, we have forged a successful collaboration among Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving (HSIs), Native American-Serving Institutions, Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), Ivy League Institutions, Research 1 Doctoral Universities, and private industries.
