This collaborative research project brings together nine very high research (R1) universities with the goal of developing, implementing, self-studying, externally evaluating, and disseminating an AGEP Alliance Model about faculty career pathways that increases the number of historically underrepresented minority (URM) Mathematical, Physical Science, Environmental Science, and Engineering (MPESE) faculty. The partnership involves the University of California Berkeley (Berkeley), the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Stanford University (Stanford), the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the University of Washington, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Michigan, Harvard University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. The Alliance team is expanding and improving activities that have previously been piloted by a Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford and Caltech partnership; and the nine-institution team will study, operationalize, adapt and implement the activities across all collaborating universities. The project employs multiple participant-focused interventions to facilitate the advancement of URM doctoral candidates, postdoctoral scholars and early-career faculty in MPESE disciplines: A doctoral candidate and postdoctoral scholar research exchange across partnering institutions; an on-line portal to facilitate placement and hiring management of postdoctoral scholars; a faculty advancement initiative for postdoctoral scholars transitioning into early-career faculty positions; and a suite of academic community-building activities to enhance faculty career pathways, such as targeted professional development, cohort building and network development. The primary outcomes of this AGEP Alliance Model project are increased rates of doctoral candidates transitioning into postdoctoral scholar positions and postdoctoral scholars transitioning into early-career faculty employment, as well as the scaling of the research exchange and postdoctoral on-line portal beyond the nine partnering institutions.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 only 8% of these senior faculty positions at all 4-year colleges and universities, and only about 6% of these positions at the nation's most research-intensive institutions. This AGEP Alliance Model has the potential to improve the success of URM doctoral candidates and postdoctoral scholars transitioning into early-career MPESE faculty positions. Advancing the careers of URM faculty ultimately leads to improved academic mentorship for URM undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars, 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.

该合作研究项目汇集了九个非常高的研究（R1）大学，其目的是开发，实施，自我研究，外部评估和传播有关教师职业途径的Agep联盟模型，以增加历史上体现不足的少数群体（URM）数学，物理科学，环境科学科学和工程学（MPESE）（MPESE）的数量。 该合作伙伴关系涉及加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校（伯克利大学），加利福尼亚洛杉矶分校（加州大学洛杉矶分校），斯坦福大学（斯坦福大学），加利福尼亚大学理工学院（加州理工学院），华盛顿大学，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校，奥斯汀大学，密歇根大学，哈佛大学，哈佛大学，哈佛大学和乔治亚工具。 联盟团队正在扩大和改进伯克利，加州大学洛杉矶分校，斯坦福大学和加州理工学院合作伙伴关系的活动；九个机构团队将在所有合作的大学中学习，运作，适应和实施活动。 该项目采用多种以参与者为中心的干预措施来促进MPESE学科的URM博士候选人，博士后学者和早期职业教师的发展：跨合作机构的博士候选人和博士学位候选人和博士后学者研究；一个在线门户网站，可促进博士后学者的安置和雇用管理；教师的进步倡议，用于过渡到早期教师职位的博士后学者；以及一系列学术社区建设活动，以增强教师职业途径，例如针对性的专业发展，队列建设和网络发展。 该年龄级联盟模型项目的主要结果是，过渡到博士学位学者职位的博士候选人率提高了，并过渡到早期职业学院的学者就业，以及研究交流的规模和扩大现实的网络门户网站的规模，以超过九个国家的陪伴。大学和大学努力招募，保留和促进URM STEM教师，他们是URM学生的榜样和学术领导者，可以与他们一起学习，合作和效仿。 NSF最近的报告表明，URM STEM的副业和全部教授在所有4年大学和大学中仅占有这些高级教师职位的8％，在该国最重要的研究机构中，这些职位中只有大约6％的职位。该Agep联盟模型有可能改善URM博士候选人的成功和博士后学者，这些学者过渡到早期的MPESE教职员工职位。 促进URM教师的职业最终导致在STEM学科中改善了URM的本科生和研究生和博士后学者的学术指导。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智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的，这是值得的。
