The Inclusive Graduate Education Network (IGEN) Alliance is an NSF INCLUDES Alliance involving a partnership of over 30 societies, institutions, organizations, corporations, and national laboratories poised to lead a paradigm shift in the participation of underrepresented racial and ethnic minority (UREM) students attaining a PhD in the physical sciences. Participation by UREM students in the physical sciences has never matched their representation in the population and the fraction of doctoral degrees earned by UREM students is dramatically less than the fraction of bachelor degrees earned by the same groups. This disparity is specifically salient because these students constitute a significant, growing, and essentially untapped source of domestic scientific talent. To erase this gap, the IGEN Alliance proposes an innovative strategy to institutionalize inclusive, evidence-based practices for selecting and training a diverse, innovative, and globally competitive scientific workforce. The primary partners in the IGEN Alliance are the American Physical Society, American Chemical Society, American Geophysical Union, American Astronomical Society, and Materials Research Society. These societies are uniquely positioned to lead efforts in the physical sciences that empower faculty members to reform and improve their graduate education practices. Together, our partners represent a constellation of organizations and individuals from disciplinary societies representing UREM students, major national laboratories, prominent industries, and leading social science researchers, who can address systemic issues that inhibit success of underrepresented students in attaining doctoral degrees - degrees that enable them to advance science and provide technological innovations for the United States.To achieve our participation and completion goals, our Alliance is 1) catalyzing UREM graduate enrollment through new application and holistic review processes championed by the professional societies in each discipline, 2) sustaining such growth by propagating programs that create more inclusive graduate education environments, and 3) improving student mentoring through critical transitions from undergraduate experiences, graduate school, and finally into the workforce. Collectively defined metrics are being used to ensure program components are supporting progress towards the Alliance's goals. The IGEN backbone organization is building infrastructure, processes, communications, and networks that support the widespread adoption of effective inclusive practices in graduate STEM education. The Alliance's Research and Inclusive Practices Hubs support leadership development, both in graduate education research and inclusive graduate education practice and professional development. Each IGEN Alliance component is designed with two principles in mind: national-scale impact and long-term sustainability. While IGEN is beginning its work in the physical sciences, expansion is being actively pursued through dialog with other disciplines including engineering, computer science, biological sciences, and mathematics. Professional societies have the unique opportunity to lead as advocates for commonly held values, as centralized sources for effective practice, and as organizations that can sustain long-term initiatives. The leadership of each society is committed to this challenge and is strategically aligning to this NSF INCLUDES Alliance's vision of achieving equity for underrepresented groups in doctoral degree attainment. This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is co-funded by the Division of Physics in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate. This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is also funded by the NSF's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program, which targets increasing the number of historically underrepresented minority faculty in STEM disciplines.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

包容性研究生教育网络（IGEN）联盟是NSF包括联盟，涉及30多个社会，机构，组织，公司和国家实验室的合作伙伴关系，他们有助于领导范式转移代表性不足的种族和族裔少数民族和族裔少数民族（UREM）学生（UREM）的学生（UEM）学生，从而获得了PHD。 Urem学生参与物理科学的参与从未与他们在人口中的代表性相匹配，而Urem学生获得的博士学位的比例远小于同一群体获得的学士学位的比例。这种差异是特别的显着性，因为这些学生构成了国内科学人才的重要，不断增长的，本质上尚未开发的来源。为了消除这一差距，IGEN联盟提出了一项创新的战略，以制度化包容性的，基于证据的实践，以选择和培训各种，创新且具有全球竞争性的科学劳动力。伊根联盟的主要伙伴是美国物理学会，美国化学学会，美国地球物理联盟，美国天文学会和材料研究学会。这些社会是在物理科学领域的独特努力，以赋予教师改革和改善其研究生教育实践的能力。我们的合作伙伴共同代表了代表Urem学生，主要国家实验室，著名行业以及领先的社会科学研究人员的组织和个人的一个星座，他们可以解决抑制代表性不足的学生成功获得博士学位的系统性问题的系统性问题，从而使他们能够促进科学和我们的参与者的参与。通过在每个学科中受到专业社会拥护的新应用程序和整体审查过程的研究生入学率，2）通过传播创造更具包容性研究生教育环境的计划来维持这种增长，以及3）通过从本科经验，研究生院，最终到劳动力中的关键过渡来改善学生的指导。共同定义的指标被用来确保程序组件支持朝着联盟目标的进步。 IGEN骨干组织正在建设基础设施，流程，通信和网络，以支持广泛采用研究生STEM教育中有效的包容性实践。该联盟的研究和包容性实践中心支持领导力发展，包括研究生教育研究和包容性研究生教育实践和专业发展。每个IGEN联盟组成部分都考虑到了两个原则：国家规模的影响和长期可持续性。尽管伊根（Igen）在物理科学领域开始工作，但通过与其他学科的对话来积极追求扩展，包括工程学，计算机科学，生物科学和数学。专业社会有一个独特的机会，可以作为普遍持有价值观的倡导者，作为有效实践的集中资源，以及可以维持长期举措的组织。每个社会的领导都致力于这一挑战，并从战略上与该NSF保持一致，其中包括联盟在博士学位学位上实现代表性不足群体的股权的愿景。该NSF包括联盟，由数学和物理科学局的物理部门共同资助。 NSF包括联盟还由NSF的研究生教育和教授（Agep）计划提供资金，该计划的目标是增加STEM学科中代表性不足的少数教师的数量。该奖项反映了NSF的立法任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力评估来评估的，并值得通过评估来评估基金会的优点和广泛的范围。
