The proposed SEAGEP Program includes The University of Florida (UF) as lead institution and two primary partners . Clemson University and The University of South Carolina. SEAGEP unites three Research Extensive institutions that combined offer PhD degrees in over 50 STEM fields offering unparalleled opportunities for graduate studies. In 2002, the total STEM graduate enrollment at these institutions was over 400. Secondary partners are the Florida-Georgia Louis B. Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP), the South Carolina Louis B. Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SCAMP) and the University of the U.S. Virgin Islands. SEAGEP will also provide international opportunities for students through a collaboration with the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI) and other Latin American and worldwide projects. SEAGEP will organize and deliver a comprehensive program that successfully guides STEM graduate students from underrepresented groups toward doctoral degree completion and entry into academic careers. The components of the program will be guided by the design principles suggested by the Building Engineering & Science Talent organization and will include targeted recruitment activities, bridging activities that prepare students for the graduate school experience, retention activities that include faculty and peer mentoring, professional preparation activities for entry into academic careers, and post doctoral opportunities. The objectives of the program are to: Increase the number of minority STEM PhD students from underrepresented groups and prepare them for successful entry into productive faculty careers, Develop synergistic partner relationships for institutionalizing changes that will continue to promote diversity in STEM graduate education Increase the pool of undergraduates from underrepresented groups who are prepared for entry into graduate STEM fields, Develop a model to evaluate the effectiveness of the partnership. The SEAGEP program will be evaluated throughout the five years of the program- using both qualitative and quantitative methods, including formative evaluation of the program activities as they are implemented, as well as summative program impact evaluation. The intellectual merit of SEAGEP is evident in that this Alliance includes a diverse team well qualified to serve as PIs and facilitators of the activities designed to address the preparation of doctoral students in creative and innovative ways, thereby increasing the numbers of underrepresented scholars that earn doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines and enter the professoriate. SEAGEP has been developed from a thorough understanding of the challenges inherent in this mission as reported in the literature. Each partner has unique strengths to contribute and benefits to realize. Through this synergy, SEAGEP will result in national models for cultural and institutional change, and partnership effectiveness. The Mission of SEAGEP is to create a regional partnership for enhancing diversity in higher education by developing innovative and sustainable graduate education programs to prepare and train students to enter STEM fields and to foster models of institutional cultural change. When realized, it will provide a direct impact by increasing the number of minority PhDs and will also result in broader impacts by establishing a model partnership and proven strategies that will be widely disseminated. SEAGEP will contribute to the development of a more inclusive, skilled, and versatile technical talent pool, strengthening the diversity of the Nation.s workforce, particularly academia, thereby contributing to the fields that are critical to the Nation.s economic strength, national security, and quality of life.

拟议的SEAGEP方案包括作为牵头机构的佛罗里达大学和两个主要伙伴。 克莱姆森大学和南卡罗来纳州大学。 SEAGEP联合了三个广泛的研究机构，这些机构在50多个STEM领域提供博士学位，为研究生学习提供无与伦比的机会。 2002年，这些机构的STEM研究生入学人数超过400人。第二合作伙伴是佛罗里达州和乔治亚州的路易斯B。斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（FGLSAMP），南卡罗来纳州路易斯B。斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（SCAMP）和美属维尔京群岛大学。 SEAGEP还将通过与拉丁美洲和加勒比工程机构联合会以及其他拉丁美洲和世界各地的项目合作，为学生提供国际机会。 SEAGEP将组织和提供一个全面的计划，成功地引导STEM研究生从代表性不足的群体走向博士学位完成和进入学术生涯。该计划的组成部分将由建筑工程科学人才组织建议的设计原则指导，并将包括有针对性的招聘活动，为学生准备研究生院经验的桥接活动，包括教师和同行指导的保留活动，进入学术生涯的专业准备活动，以及博士后机会。 该方案的目标是：增加来自代表性不足群体的少数STEM博士生的数量，并为他们成功进入富有成效的教师职业做好准备，发展协同合作伙伴关系，以实现制度化变革，继续促进STEM研究生教育的多样性增加来自代表性不足群体的本科生的数量，为进入研究生STEM领域做好准备，建立一个模型来评估伙伴关系的有效性。SEAGEP方案将在整个方案的五年期间进行评价-使用定性和定量方法，包括在方案活动实施时对其进行形成性评价，以及总结性方案影响评价。SEAGEP的智力价值显而易见，因为该联盟包括一个多元化的团队，他们完全有资格担任PI和促进者，旨在以创造性和创新的方式解决博士生的准备问题，从而增加了获得STEM学科博士学位并进入教授职位的代表性不足的学者人数。 如文献所述，海洋环境小组是在充分了解这一使命所固有的挑战的基础上发展起来的。 每个合作伙伴都有独特的优势可以贡献，也有独特的利益可以实现。 通过这一协同作用，海洋环境小组将形成文化和体制变革的国家模式，并提高伙伴关系的效力。SEAGEP的使命是建立一个区域伙伴关系，通过制定创新和可持续的研究生教育方案，为学生进入STEM领域做好准备和培训，并促进机构文化变革模式，加强高等教育的多样性。一旦实现，它将通过增加少数民族博士的数量产生直接影响，并通过建立示范伙伴关系和广泛传播的行之有效的战略产生更广泛的影响。 SEAGEP将有助于发展更具包容性，技能和多才多艺的技术人才库，加强国家劳动力的多样性，特别是学术界，从而为国家的经济实力，国家安全和生活质量至关重要的领域做出贡献。
