The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) Evaluation Capacity Building Conferences (AGEP ECBCs) project was created in response to the NSF's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program solicitation (NSF 16-552). The AGEP program solicitation calls for conference that are related to the AGEP program goal and objectives. 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 Alliance 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 faculty 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 ECBCs project will advance knowledge about the evaluation of initiatives, models and alliance activities 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. The goal of the AGEP ECBCs project is to increase the capacity of evaluators, who work with AGEP-funded Alliances and other awards, to produce high quality, culturally responsive, contextually relevant, and methodologically appropriate evaluations of award activities, outcomes and impacts. The conference series will generate and support a collaborative network of AGEP project evaluators, investigators, staff, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars.In addition to two conferences per year, there will be webinars and other web-based support systems for the network of evaluators, Principal Investigators and project team members. One conference per year will be a pre-conference workshop at the American Evaluation Association's (AEA) annual meeting, and the other conference will be a pre-conference training at the Annual AGEP Research Conference. The AGEP ECBCs project 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.

为响应NSF的研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）计划招标（NSF 16-552）而创建了研究生教育和教授（AGEP）评估能力建设会议（AGEP ECBCS）项目。 AGEP计划的邀请要求与Agep计划目标和目标有关的会议。 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联盟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，以及在历史上和跨途径层次的过渡，历史上代表性不足的少数群体（URMS）在STEM和STEM教育教育中的过渡。 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％。该AGEP ECBCS项目将促进有关倡议，模型和联盟活动的评估知识，这些活动可以在美国大学和学院持续，制度化和扩展，以推动URM研究生，博士后学者和STEM和STEM教育学术专业的教师。 AGEP ECBCS项目的目标是提高与AGEP资助的联盟和其他奖项合作的评估人员的能力，以产生对奖励活动，成果和影响的高质量，文化响应，上下文相关以及方法合适的评估。会议系列将生成和支持AGEP项目评估人员，研究人员，员工，研究生和博士后学者的协作网络。除了每年两次会议外，还将提供网络研讨会和其他基于Web的支持系统，用于评估人员，主要研究人员和项目团队的网络。每年一次会议将是美国评估协会（AEA）年度会议的会议前研讨会，另一个会议将是年度AGEP研究会议上的会议培训。 EGEP ECBCS项目既包括评估组件，又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。
