Carnegie Mellon University, Johns Hopkins University, and New York University will work as an Alliance team to develop a model to promote the equitable advancement of early career tenure-stream engineering faculty from underrepresented groups in STEM (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders). Faculty who belong to these populations will be referred to as AGEP faculty in the context of the AGEP program. The goal of this AGEP Faculty Career Pathways Alliance Model (FCPAM) is to develop, implement, self-study, and institutionalize a career pathway model, that can be adapted for use at other similar institutions, for advancing early career STEM faculty from these populations of interest to the AGEP program. This AGEP FCPAM will provide a framework for institutional change at private, highly selective research institutions that will enable all faculty to be members of a collaborative community. Improving the experience of these faculty can lead to increased diversity in the engineering faculty and ultimately result in graduating more STEM students from diverse populations and increasing diversity in the STEM workforce.Improving equity and inclusion is critical to advancing STEM faculty, educating America’s future STEM workforce, fostering individual opportunity, and contributing to a thriving U.S. economy. The NSF AGEP program, therefore, funds grants that advance and enhance the systemic factors that support equity and inclusion and, consequently, mitigate the systemic inequities in the academic profession and workplace. FCPAM awards are intended to support the development, implementation, evaluation, and institutionalization of Alliance models that will advance AGEP faculty, within similar institutions of higher education. FCPAM collaborators also study how socio-cultural, economic, structural, leadership and institutional variables affect the formation of the FCPAM, and the strategies or interventions the collaborators implement to advance AGEP faculty.The Alliance interventions will focus on three major areas, 1) equity-focused institutional change designed to make structural changes that support the advancement of AGEP faculty, 2) developing and sustaining an infrastructure that facilitates impactful mentorship of AGEP junior faculty in support of career advancement, 3) inclusive professional development that equips all engineering faculty and institutional leaders with skills to implement inclusive practices and to support career advancement. Evidence-based practices from the Women in Engineering ProActive Network and the NSF INCLUDES ASPIRE Alliance's Inclusive Professional Framework, will be foundational for this AGEP FCPAM's activities. An internal evaluator will lead the self-study and formative assessment which will advance knowledge concerning the institutional barriers that negatively impact the advancement of AGEP faculty in academic STEM careers. Attention will be given to the role cultural and intersectional identities play in the success of AGEP faculty. An external evaluator will provide a summative assessment using a culturally responsive framework to assess the implementation of project activities and the development of the Alliance model.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.

卡内基·梅隆大学，约翰·霍普金斯大学和纽约大学将担任联盟团队，以开发一个模型，以促进早期职业职业终身制 - 流程流的公平进步，来自代表性不足的STEM（非裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，美国印第安人，美洲印第安人，美国印第安人，阿拉斯加国家，阿拉斯加国家，夏威夷原住民，夏威夷原住民和PACIFIC PACIFIC层次））。在AGEP计划的背景下，属于这些人群的教师将被称为AGEP教师。这个AgeP教师职业道路联盟模型（FCPAM）的目标是开发，实施，自学和制度化职业道路模型，该模型可以在其他类似机构中适应，以促进这些兴趣的早期职业生涯从这些兴趣的人群中晋升为Agep计划。这个Agep FCPAM将为私人，高度选择性的研究机构提供机构变革的框架，使所有教师能够成为协作社区的成员。提高这些教师的经验可能会导致工程教师的多样性增加，并最终导致更多的STEM学生来自不同的人群，并增加了STEM劳动力的多样性。提高公平和包容对于促进STEM教师，教育美国的STEM劳动力，促进个人机会，为美国蓬勃发展的美国经济做出贡献至关重要。因此，NSF AGEP计划为授予并增强支持公平和包容性的系统因素提供资金，从而减轻学术界和工作场所的系统性机构。 FCPAM奖项旨在支持在类似的高等教育机构内推进Agep教师的联盟模型的发展，实施，评估和制度化。 FCPAM合作者还研究社会文化，经济，结构，领导力和制度变量如何影响FCPAM的形成，以及合作者实施的策略或干预措施来提高年龄教师的促进。联盟的干预将集中在三个主要领域上为支持职业发展的AGEP初级教师的有影响力的心态，3）包容性专业发展，使所有工程教师和机构领导者都具有实施包容性实践和支持职业发展的技能。工程积极主动网络和NSF中妇女的循证实践包括Aspire Alliance的包容性专业框架，将是该AGEP FCPAM活动的基础。内部评估将领导自学和形成性的评估，这将提高有关机构障碍的知识，这些障碍会对AGEP教师在学术STEM职业中的进步产生负面影响。将注意文化和交叉认同在Agep教师的成功中所扮演的角色。外部评估将使用具有文化响应的框架来评估项目活动的实施和联盟模型的发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来审查标准。
