This NSF AGEP Catalyst Alliance project addresses the important question of how to advance the role and increase the presence of members of traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM faculty positions. The particular focus of this project is to explore such challenges in the context of the often overlooked role played by institutions ranked Doctoral Universities – High research activity (R2) with strong research programs and holding a Minority Serving status. Composed of researchers and leaders from two Hispanic Serving R2 Institutions: Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) and New Mexico State University (NMSU), this NSF AGEP Catalyst Alliance team is using their expertise in promoting diversity to expand knowledge about the shared and specific challenges facing doctoral students and early career faculty in STEM field and building best practices to catalyze equitable and inclusive institutional transformation.The specific goals of the 2-year project are to identify the inequities in these institutions that prevent the advancement and success of faculty members from traditionally underrepresented groups and to establish a strategic alliance aimed at increasing the number of Hispanic and Native American faculty in STEM disciplines. This will be accomplished through a collection of coordinated efforts, inclusive of engagement of institutional leadership, collection and analysis of present and historical data, and development and deployment of pilot equity strategies. The project will culminate with the development of a comprehensive 5-year equity strategic plan to guide the foundation of a strong alliance working towards collective impact.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.

NSF AGEP 催化剂联盟项目解决了如何提升传统上代表性不足的群体成员在 STEM 教师职位中的地位的重要问题，该项目的特别重点是在经常被忽视的角色背景下探索此类挑战。由排名靠前的博士大学——研究活动高（R2），拥有强大的研究项目，并拥有少数服务地位 由来自两个拉美裔服务 R2 机构的研究人员和领导者组成：德克萨斯农工大学 - 科珀斯克里斯蒂。 (TAMU-CC) 和新墨西哥州立大学 (NMSU)，这个 NSF AGEP 催化剂联盟团队正在利用他们在促进多样性方面的专业知识来扩展有关 STEM 领域博士生和早期职业教师面临的共同和特定挑战的知识，并建立最佳实践促进公平和包容性的机构转型。这个为期两年的项目的具体目标是查明这些机构中阻碍传统上代表性不足群体的教职人员进步和成功的不平等现象，并建立一个战略联盟，旨在增加这将通过 STEM 学科的西班牙裔和美国原住民教师的协调努力来实现，包括机构领导的参与、当前和历史数据的收集和分析以及试点公平战略的制定和部署。制定全面的 5 年股权战略计划，以指导建立一个致力于实现集体影响的强大联盟。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
