SUNY AGEP Phase II: Building a Community of Science Scholars Project Summary SUNY AGEP is a coalition of the four major doctoral granting institutions within the State University of New York (SUNY) system; Stony Brook University (lead), University at Albany, Binghamton University, and the University at Buffalo; SUNY Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP) and Brookhaven National Laboratory. This coalition works in collaboration with federal, state, and local government agencies, funded programs, professional and community based organizations, and a series of feeder schools. SUNY AGEP plans to build a community of science scholars that will build on the highly successful and well-documented approaches for recruitment and retention. The goals of SUNY AGEP in Phase II are to substantially increase the number of underrepresented minority students getting doctoral degrees and entering the professoriate in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and to make the institutional change necessary to develop a truly inclusive professoriate. Building on the lessons learned and changes made in Phase I, SUNY AGEP plans to engage faculty and STEM departments in a series of activities that will increase recruitment, improve retention, address barriers in the academic and social climate of graduate education, increase interest in and entrance to the professoriate, and increase UREP STEM scholarship and program operation through the growth of the National Center for Inclusive Education housed at Stony Brook. In order to produce change in the order of magnitude necessary to meet degree production, and enrollment targets, SUNY AGEP continues to design and implement a comprehensive network of services that impact students, faculty, departments and institutions. Services include: sharing information related to best practices, financial support for research and professional development; a series of community building activities, activities that provide academic and social support; opportunities for students and faculty to attend professional conferences to present of their research; the SUNY AGEP Summer Research Institute and Summer Bridge Pro to recruit and prepare talented undergraduates for graduate study and a range of statewide activities for students and faculty. To facilitate these goals, SUNY AGEP continues to develop and implement: 1)a comprehensive, timely and accurate data collection and tracking system, 2) a comprehensive communication system throughout the Alliance, 3) a program-wide evaluation that uses both formative and summative measures to gauge program success and examine the program in the context of larger policy issues, 4) strong articulation in order to increase the pool of students who move successfully from undergraduate to graduate institutions, and 5) a strong support system within each institution to make SUNY AGEP goals become a permanent part of the SUNY infrastructure. Intellectual Merit SUNY AGEP is looking closely at curricular and pedagogical issues and their effects on student success and choice of careers. In addition, through the National Center for Inclusive Education (CIE), SUNY AGEP will look to increase the scholarship about UREP STEM programs and their effectiveness. Broader Impact Through the assessment of activities and the work of the National CIE, SUNY AGEP plans to add substantially to the knowledge base about UREP STEM issues and programs. This in turn will help to not only transform the institutions in the Alliance but also improve the overall climate for UREP students nationally.

SUNY AGEP 第二阶段：建立科学学者社区 项目概要 SUNY AGEP 是纽约州立大学 (SUNY) 系统内四个主要博士授予机构的联盟；石溪大学（牵头）、奥尔巴尼大学、宾厄姆顿大学和布法罗大学；纽约州立大学路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (SUNY LSAMP) 和布鲁克海文国家实验室。该联盟与联邦、州和地方政府机构、资助项目、专业和社区组织以及一系列附属学校合作。 SUNY AGEP 计划建立一个科学学者社区，该社区将建立在非常成功且有据可查的招募和保留方法的基础上。 纽约州立大学 AGEP 第二阶段的目标是大幅增加获得博士学位并进入科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科教授职位的少数族裔学生数量，并进行必要的制度变革，以培养真正具有包容性的教授队伍。基于第一阶段的经验教训和变化，SUNY AGEP 计划让教师和 STEM 部门参与一系列活动，这些活动将增加招聘、提高保留率、解决研究生教育的学术和社会氛围中的障碍、增加对教授职位的兴趣和进入，并通过位于石溪的国家全纳教育中心的发展来增加 UREP STEM 奖学金和项目运营。 为了实现学位生产和招生目标所需的数量级变化，纽约州立大学阿格普分校继续设计和实施影响学生、教师、院系和机构的综合服务网络。 服务包括：共享与最佳实践相关的信息、对研究和专业发展的财政支持；一系列社区建设活动、提供学术和社会支持的活动；为学生和教师提供参加专业会议展示其研究成果的机会； SUNY AGEP 夏季研究所和 Summer Bridge Pro 旨在招募和准备有才华的本科生进行研究生学习以及为学生和教师举办的一系列全州范围内的活动。为了实现这些目标，SUNY AGEP 继续开发和实施：1) 全面、及时和准确的数据收集和跟踪系统，2) 整个联盟的综合通信系统，3) 项目范围内的评估，使用形成性和总结性措施来衡量项目成功并在更大的政策问题背景下审查项目，4) 强有力的衔接，以增加成功从本科院校转为研究生机构的学生人数，以及 5) 每个机构内部的支持系统，使 SUNY AGEP 目标成为 SUNY 基础设施的永久组成部分。 智力优势 SUNY AGEP 正在密切关注课程和教学问题及其对学生成功和职业选择的影响。 此外，通过国家全纳教育中心 (CIE)，纽约州立大学 AGEP 将寻求增加有关 UREP STEM 项目及其有效性的奖学金。 更广泛的影响 通过对国家 CIE 的活动和工作的评估，SUNY AGEP 计划大幅增加有关 UREP STEM 问题和计划的知识库。这不仅将有助于联盟机构的转型，还将改善全国 UREP 学生的整体氛围。
