The AGEP Faculty Career Pathways Alliance Model (FC-PAM) “Alliance for Relevant and Inclusive Sponsorship of Engineers” (ARISE) promotes equity and inclusion in engineering higher education. The goal of the AGEP ARISE Alliance is to apply discipline-relevant, inclusive, and intersectional sponsorship and systemic change in hiring practices to increase the visibility, networks, collaborations, and professional success of Black and African American, Latine and Hispanic American, Native American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Native Pacific Islander biomedical engineering doctoral candidates, postdoctoral research scholars, and early career faculty members at Brown University, Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, and Yale University. This AGEP FC-PAM is building effective and professional sponsorship relationships outside the home institutions of the AGEP ARISE Alliance’s doctoral candidates, postdoctoral research scholars, and early career faculty members. Sponsorship is differentiated from mentorship as it is concerned less with the transfer of knowledge between individuals and more with the transfer of power through the promotion of the AGEP ARISE Alliance’s doctoral candidates, postdoctoral research scholars, and early career faculty members within professional networks. The doctoral candidates’, postdoctoral research scholars’, and early career faculty members’ intersecting identities around race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and caregiver status informs pairings with sponsors, who are participating in training on the importance of intersectionality in sponsorship. The AGEP ARISE Alliance is also adapting faculty hiring best practices from the University of Michigan’s ADVANCE program to both postdoctoral research scholar and early career faculty hiring policies and practices. Improving equity and inclusion is critical to advancing STEM faculty members, 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. FC-PAM awards are intended to support the development, implementation, evaluation, and institutionalization of Alliance models that will advance AGEP populations, within similar institutions of higher education. FC-PAM collaborators also study how socio-cultural, economic, structural, leadership and institutional variables affect the formation of the FC-PAM, and the strategies or interventions the collaborators implement to advance AGEP populations.The intermediate outcomes of the project are increases in the visibility, networks, opportunities, and collaborations of AGEP ARISE Alliance doctoral candidates, postdoctoral research scholars, and early career faculty members and improved cultural and diversity awareness among sponsors. Longer term these advances translate into more diverse faculty in the AGEP ARISE Alliance academic departments. Internal and external advisory boards routinely review the AGEP ARISE Alliance’s progress, strategize on future steps, and engage with sponsors and sponsees. An internal evaluator is leading the project’s self-study and formative assessment of implementation, changes in hiring practices, and changes in doctoral candidates’, postdoctoral research scholars’ and early career faculty members’ knowledge, aspirations, values, and professional activities resulting from Alliance activities. An external evaluator is providing summative assessment using a theory-based framework to assess the effectiveness of the AGEP ARISE Alliance in developing inclusive, nurturing networks of diverse doctoral candidates, postdoctoral research scholars, and early career faculty members in biomedical engineering; the ways those individuals have increased their visibility, networks, collaborations, and professional success; the impact of the project on fostering institutional climates that promote equity and inclusion; and the advancement of AGEP populations pursuing faculty positions in biomedical engineering. The AGEP ARISE Alliance team is developing and disseminating sponsorship and hiring guides, and project results, that are shared through peer-reviewed and general publications, an AGEP ARISE Alliance website, and presentations at scientific and professional meetings.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.

AGEP 教师职业路径联盟模型 (FC-PAM)“工程师相关和包容性赞助联盟”(ARISE) 促进工程高等教育的公平和包容性 AGEP ARISE 联盟的目标是应用与学科相关的、包容性的、交叉赞助和招聘实践的系统性变革，以提高黑人和非裔美国人、拉丁裔和西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和原住民的知名度、网络、合作和职业成功太平洋岛民生物医学工程博士生、博士后研究学者以及布朗大学、约翰·霍普金斯大学、哥伦比亚大学和耶鲁大学的早期职业教员。AGEP FC-PAM 正在 GEP 所在机构之外建立有效和专业的赞助关系。 ARISE 联盟的博士生、博士后研究学者和早期职业教职人员的赞助与指导不同，因为它较少关注个人之间的知识转移，而更多地关注通过推广 ARISE 进行权力转移。联盟专业网络内的博士生、博士后研究学者和早期职业教员 博士生、博士后研究学者和早期职业教员围绕种族、民族、性别、性取向、残疾和护理人员身份的交叉身份。告知与赞助商配对，赞助商正在参加有关赞助中交叉性重要性的培训。AGEP ARISE 联盟还正在将密歇根大学 ADVANCE 计划的教师招聘最佳实践应用于博士后研究学者和早期职业教师招聘政策。提高公平性和包容性对于提升 STEM 教职人员、教育美国未来的 STEM 劳动力、培养机会以及促进美国经济的繁荣至关重要，因此，NSF AGEP 计划提供资金来促进和增强系统性因素。 FC-PAM 奖项旨在支持联盟模型的开发、实施、评估和制度化，从而在类似的高等院校内促进 AGEP 人口的发展。 FC-PAM 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 FC-PAM 的形成，以及合作者为促进 AGEP 人口而实施的策略或干预措施。该项目的中期成果是AGEP ARISE 联盟博士生、博士后研究学者和早期职业教员的知名度、网络、机会和合作的增加，以及赞助商之间文化和多样性意识的提高，从长远来看，这些进步转化为 AGEP ARISE 联盟中更加多样化的教职人员。学术的内部和外部顾问委员会定期审查 AGEP ARISE 联盟的进展，制定未来步骤的战略，并与发起人和赞助者进行接触，内部评估员正在领导该项目的实施、招聘实践的变化和变化的形成性评估。外部评估员使用基于理论的框架对博士生、博士后研究学者和早期教师职业成员的知识、抱负、价值观和专业活动进行总结性评估。评估 GEEP ARISE 联盟在发展生物医学工程领域的多元化博士生、博士后研究学者和早期职业教员网络方面的有效性； GEP ARISE 联盟团队正在制定和传播赞助和招聘指南以及项目结果，并通过以下方式共享。同行评审和一般出版物、AGEP ARISE 联盟网站以及在科学和专业会议上的演讲。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
