Iowa Alliance for Graduate Education and the ProfessoriateProject SummaryThe Iowa Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate, a group consisting of faculty in Science, Mathematics and Engineering and Technology (SMET) fields and administrators from all three Iowa State Regents Universities, requests five years of NSF funding under the Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate program in partial support of a coordinated series of activities designed to recruit, retain and graduate a substantial number of underrepresented US minority graduate students in SME fields, as well as to change the culture at all three universities in order to guarantee real and permanent access to, through and from Alliance universities and programs.Support is requested for five major program areas:o Buildingpartnerships with minority-serving institutionso An Alliance Summer Research Experience Program for Minority Undergraduateso An Alliance Graduate Teaching Fellowship Programo An Alliance Graduate Student Summer Workshopo An Alliance Campus Awareness ProgramPartnerships with minority-serving institutions will be built and maintained by a series of yearly conferences in each of three regions in which Alliance universities have been active in recruiting. Undergraduate students from minority-serving institutions will be introduced to the programs and culture of the Alliance universities through anAlliance Summer Research program.Iowa State University and the University of Iowa will each provide support for five.41liance,Teaching Fellows during each year of the program. These five-year Teaching Fellowships will be made permanent at the end of the grant period. The University of Northern Iowa will provide support for two one-year Alliance Teaching Fellows through its teaching assistantship program. NSF will be asked to supplement these positions with an initial one-year traineeship. UNI Teaching Fellows will be encouraged to transfer to one of the other Alliance universities to complete work on the doctorate. A key role in all of this will be played by the Alliance Student Development Coordinator who, together with supporting student development staff at each of the three Alliance universities, will have primary responsibility for faculty and staff training; the development of programs and activities in and out of the classroom to enhance retention and the quest for excellence among students; and the development and administration of a system to assess the progress of the student development aspects of the program. The Director, together with faculty mentors and staff, will design and implement an introductory two-week Summer Workshop for incoming Teaching Fellows as well as academic-year programs designed to promote campus awareness, build community and ensure access. Career counseling and placement assistance will be provided for Fellows as they near the completion of the doctorate.Through these programs and in cooperation with other Alliance University programs and other AGEP Alliance and AMP programs, a substantial number of minority students will complete the doctorate in SME fields at Alliance universities beginning at the end of year five of this project and continuing in subsequent years.

爱荷华州研究生教育和教授联盟项目摘要爱荷华州研究生教育和教授联盟是一个由科学、数学和工程技术 (SMET) 领域的教员以及爱荷华州所有三所摄政大学的管理人员组成的团体，要求在研究生教育和教授联盟计划下提供五年的 NSF 资助，以部分支持旨在招募、 保留并毕业大量在中小企业领域代表性不足的美国少数族裔研究生，并改变所有三所大学的文化，以保证真正和永久地进入、通过和离开联盟大学和项目。需要对五个主要项目领域提供支持：o 与少数族裔服务机构建立伙伴关系 o 少数族裔本科生联盟夏季研究体验计划 o 联盟研究生教学奖学金计划 o 联盟研究生暑期研讨会 联盟校园意识计划 与少数族裔服务机构的合作伙伴关系将通过在联盟大学积极招募的三个地区中的每一个地区举行的一系列年度会议来建立和维持。来自少数族裔服务机构的本科生将通过联盟夏季研究计划了解联盟大学的项目和文化。爱荷华州立大学和爱荷华大学将在该计划的每年期间为 5.41 联盟的教员提供支持。这些为期五年的教学奖学金将在资助期结束时永久保留。北爱荷华大学将通过其助教计划为两名为期一年的联盟助教研究员提供支持。 NSF 将被要求通过最初一年的实习来补充这些职位。我们将鼓励 UNI 教学研究员转学到其他联盟大学之一完成博士学位工作。联盟学生发展协调员将在所有这一切中发挥关键作用，他与三所联盟大学的学生发展人员一起支持学生发展人员，主要负责教职员工的培训；制定课堂内外的计划和活动，以提高学生的保留率和追求卓越的能力；开发和管理一个系统来评估该计划的学生发展方面的进展。主任将与教师导师和工作人员一起，为即将到来的教员设计和实施为期两周的夏季介绍性研讨会，以及旨在提高校园意识、建立社区和确保入学机会的学年计划。当研究员接近完成博士学位时，将为他们提供职业咨询和就业援助。通过这些计划以及与其他联盟大学计划以及其他AGEP联盟和AMP计划的合作，大量少数族裔学生将从本项目第五年年底开始并在随后的几年中继续在联盟大学完成中小企业领域的博士学位。
