项目摘要

The AGEP National Research Conference 2020 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 the successes of URM graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty in specific STEM disciplines and/or STEM education research fields. AGEP awardees develop, implement and study, via integrated educational and social science research, Alliance 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 historically underrepresented minorities (URMs) in STEM and STEM education careers. As the nation addresses 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, 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. This AGEP National Research Conference will advance knowledge about initiatives that can be sustained, institutionalized and scaled at US universities and colleges to advance URM graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and faculty in STEM and STEM education academic professions.This conference convening will bring together hundreds of AGEP and non-AGEP awardees, as well as graduate students who are conducting relevant research. The goals of the conference are: (1) This conference will disseminate, adopt and adapt research findings, tools, and program resources generated by AGEP Alliances; (2) Participants will intentionally identify strategies within their institutional context that will position AGEP-funded projects for sustained impact and institutional change; and (3) Participants will engage in an innovative conference format that supports their learning, builds their connections to colleagues across the AGEP Alliance network, and creates a foundation from which they can take future action at their institution.The two and half-day conference is scheduled for March of 2020, in Boston, MA. In addition to research panels, keynote addresses, and a poster session, there will be experiential learning sessions designed to advance knowledge about the institutionalization, sustainability and scaling of AGEP Alliance Models and their associated initiatives. The proposed work includes both evaluation components and a dissemination plan for broader impacts.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.

2020年AGEP国家研究会议是为了响应NSF的研究生教育和教授（AGEP）计划招标（NSF 16-552）。 AGEP计划旨在提高有关模型的知识，以改善教授的途径以及在特定的STEM学科和/或STEM教育研究领域的URM研究生，博士后研究员和教职员工的成功。 AGEP获奖者通过综合教育和社会科学研究，发展，实施和研究联盟模型，以改变博士教育的宣传阶段，博士后培训和/或教师的进步，以及在整个途径和跨途径层次，历史上不足的少数群体（URMS）（URMS）中的过渡。当国家解决URM和非澳大利亚大学本科生和研究生之间的STEM成就差距时，我们的大学和大学都在努力招募，保留和促进URM STEM教师，他们是URM学生的榜样和学术领导者，以学习，工作和效仿。 NSF的最新报告表明，URM STEM的副业和全部教授在所有4年的大学中占了这些高级教师职位的8％，在该国最重要的研究机构中，这些职位中约有6％。这次AGEP国家研究会议将促进有关可以在美国大学和学院进行持续，制度化和扩展的倡议的知识，以促进URM研究生，STEM和STEM教育学术界的学者和教职员工。这次会议召集将召集数百名年龄段和非Agagep获奖者，以及正在进行相关研究的学生。会议的目标是：（1）该会议将传播，采用和适应AGEP联盟产生的研究结果，工具和计划资源；（2）参与者将故意在其机构背景下确定策略，以将年龄资助的项目定位为持续影响和机构变化；（3）参与者将介绍一种创新的会议格式，以支持他们的学习，建立与Agep Alliance Network跨同事建立联系，并创建一个基础，他们可以在其机构中采取未来的行动。两天和半天的会议定于2020年3月在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。除了研究小组，主题演讲和海报会议外，还将举办体验式学习会议，旨在提高有关Agep Alliance模型及其相关计划的制度化，可持续性和规模的知识。拟议的工作既包括评估组成部分，也包括针对更广泛影响的传播计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
