Collaborative Research: CUNY/Michigan Alliance

密歇根州立大学纽约市立大学（CUNY）、密歇根大学（U-M）、密歇根州立大学（MSU）和韦恩州立大学（WSU）是向未被充分代表的少数民族颁发社会、行为和经济（SBE）科学学士和博士学位的前25所大学之一。此外，这些机构在实现STEM（科学、技术工程和数学）领域的AGEP目标方面取得了成功。纽约市立大学目前是与新泽西理工学院、理工大学和史蒂文斯理工学院合作的MAGNET/STEM AGEP联盟的一部分。密歇根大学、密歇根州立大学和华盛顿州立大学与西密歇根大学合作成立了密歇根AGEP联盟（MAA）。现在，纽约市立大学和密歇根AGEP联盟（MAA），由密歇根大学、密歇根州立大学和韦恩州立大学组成，将在一个新的区域联盟中共同努力，推进国家科学基金会的目标，促进在社会科学学士学位到博士学位和早期职业水平上增加代表性不足的少数民族（即非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美国印第安人、亚洲/太平洋岛民）的生产。通过在联盟内共享资源和最佳实践，并将SBE领域纳入现有的AGEP项目，城市大学/MAA SBE科学联盟将增加暑期研究项目的参与，扩大社会科学学生的招聘和研究机会，进一步发展与少数民族服务机构的有针对性的关系，为联盟内的学生提供指导，为教师提供指导培训。协调技能建设研讨会以帮助确保研究生学习的成功，扩大学生支持小组，加强奖学金支持，增加教学机会并扩大教师培训研讨会，增加对学生参加专业研讨会的支持，扩大博士后和早期职业教育。该项目的智力价值将集中在教育的进步，通过加强现有的优秀教育项目，并为研究生，博士后和早期职业阶段的SBE学生提供他们通常不会获得的额外经验。将对这些干预措施的影响进行评估，并广泛分享最佳做法。我们的经验将增强对社会和行为科学家专业化进程至关重要的方法论的认识。更广泛的影响。该项目的更广泛影响将通过使更多的个人在社会科学方面学习和进行研究的机构化而发展，方法是利用有效的战略，吸引、激励和培训国内人才，特别是在代表性不足的少数民族、妇女和残疾人中。这些活动的结果将是促进对社会科学在国家中的作用的理解，并加强国家劳动力。

In addition, these institutions have documented success in meeting AGEP goals in the STEM (science, technology engineering and mathematics) fields. CUNY is currently part of a MAGNET/STEM AGEP alliance partnered with the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Polytechnic University and Stevens Institute of Technology. U-M, MSU and WSU partner with Western Michigan University to form the Michigan AGEP Alliance (MAA). Now CUNY and the Michigan AGEP Alliance (MAA), consisting of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University, will combine efforts in a new regional alliance to advance the goal of the National Science Foundation to promote efforts that will increase the production of underrepresented minorities (i.e., African American, Hispanics, American Indians, Asian/Pacific Islanders) in the social sciences at the B.S. through Ph.D. and early career levels. By both sharing resources and best practices across the alliance and including SBE fields in existing AGEP programs, the CUNY/MAA Alliance for the SBE sciences will increase participation in summer research programs, expand recruitment and research opportunities for social sciences students, further develop targeted relationships with minority-serving institutions, provide across the alliance student mentoring and mentoring training for faculty, coordinate skill building workshops to help ensure graduate study success, expand student support groups, enhance fellowship support, increase teaching opportunities and expand teacher training workshops, increase the support of students attending professional workshops, and expand postdoctoral and early career education. The intellectual merit of the project will focus on the advancement of education by enhancing existing excellent educational programs and providing SBE students at the graduate, postdoctoral and early career stages with additional experiences that they would not normally receive. The impact of these interventions will be evaluated and best practices shared widely. Our experiences will enhance knowledge on the methodologies critical to the process of the professionalization of social and behavioral scientists. Broader Impact. The broader impact of the project will develop through the institutionalization of a larger pool of individuals studying and conducting research in the social sciences through the utilization of effective strategies that will attract, motivate, and train domestic talent, especially among underrepresented minorities, women and persons with disabilities. The result of these activities will be to advance understanding of the role of the social sciences in the nation, as well as to strengthen the national workforce.
