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作为一个联盟团队，开发一个模型，促进来自 STEM 领域代表性不足群体（非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民）在 AGEP 计划中将被称为 AGEP 教员。 GEP 教员职业路径联盟模型的目标。 (FCPAM) 的目的是开发、实施、自学并将职业路径模型制度化，该模型可适用于其他类似机构，以将这些感兴趣的人群中的早期职业 STEM 教师提升到 AGEP FCPAM 计划。将为私立、高度选择性的研究机构的制度变革提供一个框架，使所有教师都能成为协作社区的成员。提高这些教师的经验可以增加工程教师的多样性，并最终导致更多 STEM 学生毕业。来自不同的人群并且不断增加STEM 劳动力的多样性。提高公平性和包容性对于提高 STEM 师资力量、教育美国未来的 STEM 劳动力、培养个人机会以及为繁荣的美国经济做出贡献至关重要。因此，NSF AGEP 计划提供资金以促进和增强系统性。 FCPAM 奖项旨在支持联盟模型的开发、实施、评估和制度化，从而在类似机构内提升 AGEP 教师的水平。 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，以及合作者为提升 AGEP 教师而实施的策略或干预措施。联盟干预措施将集中于三个主要领域, 1) 以公平为中心的制度变革，旨在进行结构性变革，支持 AGEP 教师的进步，2) 开发和维持基础设施，促进对 AGEP 初级教师进行有影响力的指导，以支持职业发展，3) 包容性的专业发展，使所有人员都具备能力工程具有实施包容性实践和支持职业发展的技能的教师和机构领导者来自工程女性主动网络和 NSF 包括 ASPIRE 联盟的包容性专业框架，将成为本次 AGEP FCPAM 活动的基础。领导自学和形成性评估，这将增进有关对 AGEP 教师在学术 STEM 职业生涯中的进步产生负面影响的制度障碍的知识。外部评估员将使用文化响应框架提供总结性评估，以评估项目活动的实施和联盟模式的发展。该奖项的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用评估来支持。基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
