SREB-AGEP Doctoral Scholars Program

南方地区教育委员会安斯利·亚伯拉罕南方地区教育委员会(SREB)和国家科学基金会(NSF)研究生教育和教授联盟(AGEP)于2002年建立了伙伴关系。这种伙伴关系导致了SREB-AGEP博士奖学金计划。这一方案将继续并扩大所有AGEP方案在教师多样性教学和指导研究所契约以及其他服务方面的参与。该研究所成立于1994年，是寻求博士学位并计划在中学后教育领域发展的少数族裔人数最多的群体。这笔赠款将允许代表所有AGEP联盟的选定AGEP学者在下一个供资周期内进入研究所。周期的第一年和第二年每年将资助177名学者，今后三年每年将资助207名学者。将向这些学者提供一整套服务和方案活动，这些服务和方案活动有助于以前参加研究所的学者的成功。该研究所专注于帮助学者建立他们的教学和指导技能，并与其他学者和教师代表建立网络。学者们参加各种各样的研讨会，为进入学院和大学教师队伍做准备，以提高他们的技能和知识。被选中的AGEP学者有机会与其他项目的学者一起参加该研究所，这些学者的目标是进入学术界。其他参与的机构包括国家普通医学科学研究所、阿尔弗雷德·P·斯隆基金会少数族裔博士项目和罗纳德·E·麦克奈尔后学士学位成就项目。教师多样性契约教学和辅导研究所已成为结合国家和区域方案优势的核心活动。作为一项全国性的计划，每年秋天，该契约都会召集一个教学与辅导研究所，将所有参与的学生和教职员工聚集在一起，进行为期三天的密集体验。该研究所成功地吸引了来自各州和波多黎各的教师和少数族裔博士学者。自1994年发起以来，已有6000多名与会者参加了研训所。该研究所是美国最大的种族/少数民族博士生的聚会，寻求在学术上的教师职业生涯。自2002年以来，SREB-AGEP博士生计划被纳入AGEP社区，证明了该计划的学术价值，并为AGEP学者带来了增值部分的经验。AGEP学者在年度研究所的参与为他们提供了帮助解决许多研究中提到的一些问题的经验，这些问题是少数族裔研究生在攻读博士学位时经常遇到的。更广泛的影响...SREB和AGEP之间的这种独特的伙伴关系将实现两个广泛的目标：1)为AGEP学者提供知识、技能和支持，这将增加他们在研究生院取得成功的可能性；2)加强AGEP学者为成为学院或大学教员的职业生涯做准备。

ABSTRACTHRD-0639678Southern Regional Education BoardAnsley AbrahamThe Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) formed a partnership in 2002. This partnership resulted in the SREB-AGEP Doctoral Scholars Program. This program will continue and expand the participation of all AGEP programs in the Compact for Faculty Diversity Institute on Teaching and Mentoring, along with other services. The Institute began in 1994 and is the largest gathering of underrepresented minorities seeking a Ph.D. and who plan a career in postsecondary education. This grant will permit selected AGEP scholars representing all AGEP Alliances to attend the Institute for the next funding cycle. One hundred and seventy seven scholars will be supported for each of the first and second years of the cycle and two hundred and seven for each of the next three years. These scholars will be provided the full array of services and program activities that have contributed to the success of previous scholars attending the Institute. The Institute focuses on helping scholars build their teaching and mentoring skills and network with other scholars and faculty representatives. Scholars attend a large variety of workshops that enhance their skills and knowledge as they prepare for entry into the ranks of college and university faculty. Selected AGEP scholars have the opportunity to participate in the Institute with scholars from other programs with the same goal of entering academia. Other agencies that participate are the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Minority Ph.D. Program, and the Ronald E. McNair Post baccalaureate Achievement Program. The Compact for Faculty Diversity Institute on Teaching and Mentoring has become the centerpiece activity that combines the strengths of national and regional programs. As a national program, each fall the Compact convenes an Institute on Teaching and Mentoring which brings together all participating students and faculty for three days of intensive experiences. The Institute has been successful in attracting faculty and minority doctoral scholars from every state and Puerto Rico. Since it was initiated in 1994, over 6,000 attendees have participated in the Institute. The Institute is the largest gathering in America of racial/ethnic minority Ph.D. scholars seeking faculty careers in academia.Intellectual Merit... The intellectual merit of this program is demonstrated by the inclusion of the SREB-AGEP Doctoral Scholars Program in the AGEP community since 2002, and has resulted in a value-added component experiences for AGEP scholars. The participation of AGEP scholars in the annual Institute has provided them with experiences that have helped address a number of the problems as cited in many studies that minority graduate students often encounter as they pursue the Ph.D. Broader Impact... This unique partnership between SREB and AGEP will achieve two broad goals: 1) provide AGEP scholars with the knowledge, skills, and support that will increase the likelihood of success in graduate school; and 2) enhance preparation of AGEP scholars for a career as a college or university faculty member.
