This proposal seeks funds for a comprehensive program for enhancing entry into and successful completion of minority students in MSE graduate programs. The proposed program will be a Mississippi MGE consortium comprising our four PhD-granting institutions (the University of Mississippi as administrative lead, Mississippi State University, the University of Southern Mississippi, and Jackson State University) in partnership with several state and regional HBCUs and small colleges. Our regional scope will build upon a solid history of collaboration between the comprehensive and regional institutions. Since the state of Mississippi is 36% African-American in population and since there are several HBCUs in the state and region, a primary focus will be on the training of black graduate students. The state institutions also have a successful participation in the NSF Louis Stokes AMP program for the education of undergraduate MSE students. We now seek NSF MGE funds to catalyze a comprehensive effort to expand our efforts in the graduate MSE training area. The four PhD-granting institutions will realign resources and programs and will coordinate activities to create a comprehensive approach to outreach, recruitment, mentoring, retention, and degree completion activities for minority students, with career counseling aimed at encouraging academic careers. The ultimate goals of this program are to increase the number of students from under-represented minorities who enter MSE graduate programs in the MGE consortium institutions, to increase the number of these students who successfully complete a PhD degree, to increase the number of these doctoral students who choose to enter academia, and to bring about a systemic change in attitudes of faculty, administrators, and students with regard to minority pipeline issues.

该提案旨在为一项综合计划提供资金，以提高少数民族学生进入和成功完成MSE研究生课程的机会。拟议的计划将是一个密西西比MGE财团，包括我们的四个博士授予机构（密西西比大学作为行政领导，密西西比州立大学，南密西西比大学和杰克逊州立大学）与几个州和地区HBCU和小型学院合作。我们的区域范围将建立在综合机构和区域机构之间合作的坚实历史基础之上。由于密西西比州36%的人口是非裔美国人，而且该州和该地区有几个HBCU，因此主要重点将放在黑人研究生的培训上。国家机构还成功参与了NSF Louis Stokes AMP计划，用于本科MSE学生的教育。我们现在寻求NSF MGE基金，以促进全面的努力，扩大我们在研究生MSE培训领域的努力。四个博士授予机构将重新调整资源和计划，并将协调活动，为少数民族学生的外联，招聘，指导，保留和学位完成活动创造一个全面的方法，并提供旨在鼓励学术生涯的职业咨询。该计划的最终目标是增加来自代表性不足的少数民族的学生进入MGE联盟机构的MSE研究生课程的人数，增加成功完成博士学位的学生人数，增加选择进入学术界的博士生人数，并带来教师，管理人员，和学生关于少数民族管道问题。
