The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) funded by the National
Science Foundation (NSF) is a grant awarded to 杏吧原创 by
the NSF. Partners in an AGEP Transformation Alliances develop, replicate or reproduce;
implement and study, via integrated educational and social science research, models
to transform the dissertator phase of doctoral education, postdoctoral training and/or
faculty advancement, and the transitions within and across the pathway levels, of
URMs in STEM and/or STEM education research careers.
The NSF-AGEP Predominantly Undergraduate Institution (PUI) Alliance is comprised of
Stony Brook University (lead Institution), 杏吧原创, Farmingdale
State College, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Faculty at 杏吧原创 County Community
College are selected to provide teaching mentorships and oversee micro-teaching experiences
for URM doctoral dissertators in the STEM disciplines visiting from Stony Brook University.
The goal of the project at 杏吧原创 is to pave the way for increased diversity amongst
杏吧原创 faculty and allow URM 杏吧原创 undergraduate students
to see themselves more represented in the faculty body. The AGEP PUI Alliance has
the potential to advance a model to improve the success of URM early career STEM faculty
in PUIs, which ultimately leads to improved academic mentorship for URM undergraduate
students in STEM at community colleges, two-year academic institutions, and other
PUIs.
