The City College of New York and the University of Texas at El Paso will collaborate to develop, implement and study a model for training and transitioning Hispanic Environmental Sciences and Engineering (ESE) doctoral students, who have completed all coursework and who are dissertating, as they transition to STEM instructional faculty or staff positions at community colleges or other associate degree granting institutions. The Hispanic AGEP Alliance (H-AGEP) 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 historically underrepresented minority (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 the nation is confronted with a STEM achievement gap between URM and non-URM undergraduate and graduate students, 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, work with and 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. The H-AGEP Alliance has potential to advance a model to improve the teaching preparation and transitions for Hispanic STEM doctoral students entering community college faculty positions, and providing Hispanic STEM faculty, mentors and role models for STEM undergraduate students.The H-AGEP Alliance plans to develop, implement and study a model for training and transitioning Hispanic Environmental Sciences and Engineering (ESE) doctoral students, who have completed all coursework and who are dissertating, as they progress to STEM instructional faculty or staff positions at community colleges or other associate degree granting institutions. Participants primarily include Hispanic-American doctoral students who are advanced level doctoral candidates majoring in ESE fields, including but not limited to: civil engineering; electrical engineering; mechanical engineering; biomedical engineering; earth and atmospheric sciences; ecology, evolutionary biology, and behavior; computer sciences; electrical and computer engineering; and environmental science and engineering. The community college partners in the H-AGEP Alliance are LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City, NY; Queensborough Community College in Bayside, NY; and El Paso Community College in El Paso, TX. The project includes developing and testing three primary intervention components in the model: a training and mentoring program for effectively teaching ESE courses at community colleges; training to mentor undergraduate student researchers; and a professional development program to address career advancement in ESE and academia. The integrated research will examine the factors that influence the success of Hispanic doctoral students as they complete doctoral degrees and enter their professions. The formative and summative evaluation is being conducted by Drs. Ellen Meier and Dawn Horton, at the Teachers College, Columbia University's Center for Technology and School Change. An external advisory committee will provide feedback to the team on the effectiveness and outcomes of the project activities to develop, implement and test the H-AGEP Alliance model.

纽约市城市学院和德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校将合作开发，实施和研究用于培训和过渡西班牙裔环境科学与工程学（ESE）博士生的模型，他们已经完成了所有课程，并且正在解剖，并为他们过渡到社区学院或其他授予机构的STEM教学教师或员工职位。 西班牙裔AGEP联盟（H-AGEP）是根据NSF的研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）计划的招标（NSF 16-552）创建的历史上代表性不足的少数民族（URM）研究生，博士后研究员和教师在特定的STEM学科和/或STEM教育研究领域的成功。 Agep转型联盟通过综合教育和社会科学研究发展，复制或复制，实施和学习，模型，以改变博士教育的论文阶段，博士后培训和/或教师的进步以及途径内部和途径层次的过渡，在STEM和/或STEM教育研究事业中的URMS。随着国家与URM和非URM本科生和研究生，大学和大学之间的STEM成就差距，努力招募，保留和促进URM STEM教师URM学生的模型和学术领导者可以学习，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％。 H-AGEP联盟有可能提高模型，以改善西班牙裔STEM博士学生进入社区大学教师职位的教学准备和过渡，并为STEM本科生提供西班牙裔STEM教师，导师和榜样。开发，实施和研究一个模型，用于培训和过渡西班牙裔环境科学与工程学（ESE）博士生，他们已经完成了所有课程并正在宣传他们，因为他们会进步，以取消社区学院或其他副学士学位的教学教师或员工职位授予机构。参与者主要包括在ESE领域主修的高级博士候选人，包括但不限于：土木工程；电气工程；机械工业;生物医学工程；地球和大气科学；生态，进化生物学和行为；计算机科学；电气和计算机工程；以及环境科学与工程。 HAGEP联盟的社区学院合作伙伴是纽约州长岛市的Laguardia社区学院；纽约州贝赛德的昆斯伯勒社区学院；以及德克萨斯州埃尔帕索市的埃尔帕索社区学院。 该项目包括开发和测试模型中的三个主要干预组件：一个有效地在社区大学教授ESE课程的培训和指导计划；培训指导本科生研究人员；以及一项专业发展计划，以解决ESE和学术界的职业发展。 综合研究将研究影响西班牙裔博士生在获得博士学位并进入专业时的成功的因素。 DRS正在进行形成性和总结性评估。 Ellen Meier和Dawn Horton，哥伦比亚大学技术与学校变革中心教师学院。 外部咨询委员会将向团队提供有关项目活动的有效性和成果的反馈，以开发，实施和测试H-AGEP联盟模型。
