Vanderbilt University, Fisk University, and Wake Forest University will collaborate to develop, study and refine a model to recruit, retain and advance historically underrepresented minority (URM) women from doctoral degree attainment to postdoctoral fellowship to tenured track positions in STEM. This alliance was created in response to the NSF's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program solicitation (NSF 16-552) The AGEP program seeks to advance knowledge about models to improve pathways to the professoriate and success of URM graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty in specific STEM disciplines and/or STEM education research fields. AGEP Transformation Alliances develop, replicate or reproduce; implement and study, via integrated educational and social science research, models to transform the dissertator phase of doctoral education, postdoctoral training and/or faculty advancement, and the transitions within and across the pathway levels, of URMs in STEM and/or STEM education research careers.As our nation is confronted with a STEM achievement gap between URM and non-URM undergraduate and graduate students, our universities and colleges struggle to recruit, retain and promote URM STEM faculty who serve as role models and academic leaders for URM students to learn from, to work with and to emulate. Recent NSF reports indicate that URM STEM associate and full professors occupy 8% of these senior faculty positions at all 4-year colleges and universities and about 6% of these positions at the nation's most research-intensive institutions. URM women hold smaller shares of these academic STEM positions and an increase in their representation is essential since female URM undergraduate students, enrolled in STEM majors, outnumber their male peers. The current AGEP project has potential to advance a model to improve the representation of URM women in STEM faculty positions, eventually providing URM STEM role models to a STEM undergraduate and graduate students at postsecondary academic institutions.The project includes activities to transition postdoctoral fellows into faculty positions, or a postdoc-to-faculty bridge program, to provide junior faculty with mentoring and to assist junior faculty in developing strong scholarly identities. The integrated research will include cross-sectional surveys, three-year longitudinal surveys and small-group interviews to gain a better understanding of the processes facilitating the choices women and URMs make in their STEM careers. Variables to study include gender and race differences, social relationship influences, the academic-professional culture and the institutional context. Vanderbilt and Fisk Universities will institutionalize the key model interventions, stage the model components for implementation at Wake Forest University, and disseminate the model to the network of 40 institutions represented in the Collaborative to Advance Equity through Research. The National Academy of Science's Ford Foundation Diversity Fellows program will work with the alliance to identify and recruit promising postdoctoral associates for project participation. The Anna Julia Cooper Center at Wake Forest will conduct scale up and dissemination activities for the alliance. Formative and summative evaluation work will be performed by an external evaluation team, via a subaward from Vanderbilt to the Institute for Broadening Participation. An external advisory board will provide advice to the project team through annual consultation.

范德比尔特大学，菲斯克大学和维克森林大学将合作开发，研究和完善一个模型，以招募，保留和进步历史上代表性不足的少数民族（URM）妇女从博士学位成就到博士后奖学金，再到博士后奖学金，再到STEM中的终身轨道位置。 该联盟是根据NSF的研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）计划的招标（NSF 16-552）创建的，Agep计划旨在提高有关模型的知识，以提高URM研究生和成功的途径和成功的途径，并在特定的STEM STEM和STEM或STEM或STEM教育研究领域的教授和成功的途径。 Agep转化联盟发展，复制或繁殖；通过综合教育和社会科学研究实施和研究模型，以改变博士教育的宣传阶段，博士后培训和/或教师的进步以及在整个途径和/或STEM教育研究职业中的URMS内部和跨途径的过渡，因为我们的国家与我们的国家相遇，在我们的国家中遇到了司法和非培训阶段，并在培训阶段和非培训阶段和培训学生之间，并培训了劳动培训，并培训了学生的毕业生，并培训了阶级的学生，并在研究生中，我们的毕业生，我们的领域，我们的领域，您的领域，即URM STEM教师是URM学生的榜样和学术领导者，供URM学生学习，合作和效仿。 NSF最近的报告表明，URM STEM的副教和全部教授在所有4年的大学和大学中占领了这些高级职位的8％，在该国最重要的机构中，这些职位中约有6％。 URM妇女持有这些学术STEM职位的较小份额，并且其代表性的增加至关重要，因为女性URM本科生，曾在STEM专业的学生中，超过男性同龄人。当前的AGEP项目有可能提高模型，以改善URM妇女在STEM教师职位上的代表性，最终为中学后学术机构的STEM本科生和研究生提供URM STEM榜样。该项目包括过渡博士后研究员的活动，以使教师职位或A后培养基桥梁的辅助辅助辅助辅助辅助辅助辅助辅导，并提供辅助辅助辅助型，并提供辅助辅助辅助性，并提供辅助辅助工作。 综合研究将包括横断面调查，三年的纵向调查和小组访谈，以更好地了解妇女和URMS在其STEM职业中做出的选择的过程。 进行研究的变量包括性别和种族差异，社会关系的影响，学术专业文化和制度环境。 范德比尔特（Vanderbilt）和菲斯克大学（Fisk Universities）将制度化关键模型干预措施，阶段在维克森林大学（Wake Forest University）实施的模型组成部分，并将该模型传播到合作中代表的40个机构网络，以通过研究提高公平性。美国国家科学院的福特基金会多样性研究员计划将与联盟合作，识别和招募有希望的博士后伙伴，以供项目参与。 维克森林（Wake Forest）的安娜·朱莉娅·库珀（Anna Julia Cooper）中心将为联盟开展规模和传播活动。 形成性和总结性评估工作将由外部评估团队通过范德比尔特（Vanderbilt）到扩大参与研究所的子宣告。 外部顾问委员会将通过年度咨询为项目团队提供建议。
