HRD-9817642Manuel GomezThe University of Puerto Rico (UPR) proposes an Institutional Minority Graduate EducationProgram to increase the productivity of its PhD Programs in Biology, Chemistry, Chemical-Physics, Marine Sciences and Civil Engineering in conferring PhDs to minorities. Building onthe existing pipeline strategy that spans from K-1 2 to graduate research developed withNSF support, UPR- IMGEP will increase annual degrees conferred from 13 to 26 by the year2003 and increase enrollment of minority students from the mainland to 30%. The mainstrategy is a continuum of support for transition into and completion of Ph.D. studies,beginning with recruitment strategies of undergraduate students in research, and supportduring their first year through a bridging seminar and peer mentors. To increase candidatesfor academic careers and future role models for minority students, a Teaching AssistantshipTraining Program will be created. In their second and third year, students will participate inthe Increasing Scholarly Productivity Program to support the elaboration of dissertations,scientific publications and presentations, grantsmanship skills and time management skills.Two year fellowships will be provided to attract students into critical areas of shortage andinto academic careers. The UPR Vice Presidency and Academic Deans for SMET will leadthe strategic planning and institutionalization of the program. The UPR will cost share$1.25 million.
