Collaborative ProposalSES-0750597Robert HummerDarlene GrantUniversity of Texas at AustinSES-0750160Jean MorrisonUniversity of Southern CaliforniaSES- 0750723Karen CookStanford UniversitySES-0750645Rogelio SaenzTexas A & M Research FoundationThe under-representation of African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native American students in U.S. universities continues to be an important impediment to the goal of a more equitable society. At the graduate level, under-representation among minority groups is even more striking than at the undergraduate level; for example, African Americans comprised fewer than nine percent of graduate school enrollments and Hispanics comprised just five percent of graduate school enrollments in the early 21st Century in U.S. universities. 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 also two of the most racially and ethnically diverse states. Indeed, both California and Texas are now considered to be "majority-minority" population states. This collaborative renewal project -- which includes proposals from the University of Texas at Austin, Stanford University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Southern California -- will continue to address the under representation of Hispanics, African Americans, and Native Americans in graduate programs in the Social, Behavioral, and Economic (SBE) sciences at these four institutions. The project will continue to increase the enrollment, retention, and successful completion of under-represented minority (URM) graduate students in the SBE Sciences at alliance institutions, with the long-term intent to increase representation among URM groups on university faculties in the SBE sciences. Two principles continue to 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. Broader Impact The broader impact of this program is to influence the future of higher education in bothCalifornia and Texas. The future of higher education in these two critical majority-minority states in part depends on the ability of universities in these states to diversify the racial/ethnic mix of faculty. The collaborative effort presents one model of how to do so within the SBE sciences.

合作提案SES-0750597Robert HummerDarlene Grant德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校SES-0750160Jean Morrison南加州大学SES-0750723Karen Cook斯坦福大学SES-0750645Rogelio Saenz德克萨斯A＆M研究基金会美国大学中非裔美国人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔和美国原住民学生的代表性不足仍然是实现更加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，21 世纪初美国大学研究生院入学人数中，非裔美国人占不到 9%，而西班牙裔美国人仅占研究生入学人数的 5%。在加利福尼亚州和德克萨斯州，代表性不足的情况可能更为严重，这两个州是美国人口最多的两个州，也是种族和民族最多元化的两个州。事实上，加利福尼亚州和德克萨斯州现在都被认为是“少数族裔占多数”的人口州。这一合作更新项目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的提案，将继续解决拉美裔、非裔美国人和美洲原住民在研究生中代表性不足的问题这四个机构的社会、行为和经济 (SBE) 科学项目。该项目将继续增加联盟机构 SBE 科学领域代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 研究生的入学率、保留率和成功完成学业，长期目标是增加 URM 群体在 SBE 大学院系中的代表性科学。有两个原则继续指导我们的努力。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。 更广泛的影响 该计划的更广泛影响是影响加利福尼亚州和德克萨斯州高等教育的未来。这两个关键的多数少数州的高等教育的未来部分取决于这些州的大学使教师的种族/族裔组合多样化的能力。这项合作成果提出了一种在 SBE 科学中如何做到这一点的模型。
