At the graduate level, under-representation among minority groups is even more striking than at the undergraduate level; for example, African Americans comprised just 8.5 percent of graduate school enrollments and Hispanics comprised just 5.2 percent of graduate school enrollments in 2000. The issue of under-representation may even be more important in California and Texas, which are the two largest states in the country in terms of population and two of the most racially and ethnically diverse states. The goal of this collaboration - which includes the University of Texas at Austin, Stanford University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Southern California -is to help address the under-representation of Hispanics, African Americans, and Native Americans in graduate programs in the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) at the four institutions. Specific focus will be to increase the enrollment, retention, and successful completion of under-represented minority students in the SBE sciences at the participating institutions, with the long-term intent to increase representation among under-represented minority groups on university faculties in the SBE sciences. Two principles guide efforts. Alliance partners will: 1) share ideas, best practices, and resources, and create a network to recruit and retain students for alliance universities; and 2) build on successful initiatives that have already been developed on each of the campuses so that efforts can be as cost-effective and successful as possible. Highly collaborative and innovative methods will be used to improve efforts in recruiting and retaining minority graduate students at the institutions. Support NSF will be used to increase efforts in recruiting, retaining, and developing the careers of under-represented minority students. The Alliance plans to recruit cohorts of under-represented minority students on each campus, thus increasing minority graduate student enrollment in the SBE Sciences at each of our institutions, and to build on current efforts already ongoing at our universities and to build on the best practices that are already ongoing in the collaborative NSF-sponsored effort being undertaken by the three University of California schoolsBroader ImpactThe program has the potential to influence the future of higher education in both California and Texas. The future of education in these two critical states in part depends on the ability of universities in these states (and elsewhere) to diversify the race/ethnic mix of faculty. This collaborative effort is meant as one way to try and do so within the SBE Sciences.

摘要 SES-0549041Robert HummerDarlene Grant 德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校SES-0549026Jean Morrison 南加州大学SES-0548993Karen Cook 斯坦福大学SES-0549007Rogelio Saenz 德克萨斯 A & M 研究基金会非裔美国人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔和美国原住民学生在美国大学中的代表性不足的情况持续存在成为跨种族和族裔实现更公平社会目标的重要障碍。在研究生阶段，少数族裔群体的代表性不足比本科阶段更为引人注目；例如，2000 年，非洲裔美国人仅占研究生院入学人数的 8.5%，而西班牙裔美国人仅占研究生院入学人数的 5.2%。在美国最大的两个州加利福尼亚州和德克萨斯州，代表性不足的问题可能更为重要。就人口而言，该国是种族和族裔最多样化的两个州。 这项合作包括德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校、斯坦福大学、德克萨斯农工大学和南加州大学，其目标是帮助解决拉美裔、非裔美国人和美洲原住民在研究生课程中代表性不足的问题。四个机构的社会、行为和经济科学（SBE）。具体重点是增加参与机构中代表性不足的少数族裔学生在 SBE 科学领域的入学率、保留率和成功完成学业，长期目标是增加代表性不足的少数群体在 SBE 大学教师中的代表性科学。有两个原则指导我们的努力。 联盟合作伙伴将： 1) 分享想法、最佳实践和资源，并创建一个网络来为联盟大学招收和留住学生； 2) 以每个校区已经制定的成功举措为基础，使工作尽可能具有成本效益和成功。将采用高度协作和创新的方法来改善各机构招收和留住少数民族研究生的工作。支持 NSF 将用于加大力度招募、保留和发展代表性不足的少数族裔学生的职业。该联盟计划在每个校园招募一批代表性不足的少数族裔学生，从而增加我们每个机构 SBE 科学系的少数族裔研究生入学率，并以我们大学目前正在进行的努力为基础，并以最佳实践为基础更广泛的影响 该计划有可能影响加利福尼亚州和德克萨斯州高等教育的未来。这两个关键州的教育未来部分取决于这些州（和其他地方）的大学使教师的种族/族裔组合多样化的能力。这种协作努力是 SBE 科学领域尝试实现这一目标的一种方式。
