SES-0750704Jon GjerdeGloria ChunAngela JamesBeth SchneiderUniversity of California, BerkeleyA three-year grant was provided to the UC-DIGSSS Alliance (University of California Diversity Initiative for Graduate Study in the Social Sciences)comprised of the University of California at Berkeley, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, to complete a pilot program to broaden the participation of underrepresented minority students into the social sciences. The aim of UC-DIGSSS is not only to increase the numbers of underrepresented minority students, but also to help transform the culture of the academy so that institutional environments are more attractive to underrepresented minorities. UC-DIGSS has worked closely with divisional deans, department chairs, graduate advisors and faculty to initiate a series of new programs to recruit and retain underrepresented minority students in graduate programs in the social and behavioral sciences. All three campuses have experienced increased in the number of students matriculated in social science graduate programs since the onset of the grant. UC-DIGSS plays a role within the broader Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) community. The incorporation of SBE faculty and students has broadened the disciplinary scope of AGEP community, generating a more informed dialogue about the origins and consequences of inequalities in societies and institutions and enriching the social and educational context of programs. UC-DIGSSS, will continue to build on initial successes and move forward to: . Form partnerships with MSIs (minority-serving institutions) to increase the applicant pool, by developing longitudinal relationships with MSIs across administration, faculty, and staff... Mentor underrepresented minority students with one-on-one research traineeships with faculty in the early stages (first three years) of the graduate program in order to help build research skills and to create strong bonds with faculty mentors early in their program.. Improve retention by focusing on community building and creating support for graduate student research, including funding for tutors, writing improvement workshops, professional conference attendance, field research, and master's exam support. The major broader impact of this program is the creation of synergy to broaden participation of underrepresented students in SBE fields not only within alliance campuses, but across the nation. This will be done by fostering a more informed dialogue about racialized identities and practices within the academy and forging collaborative efforts to increase the applicant pool and retain a greater number of students matriculating with doctorates in the social sciences.

SES-0750704Jon GjerdeGloria ChunAngela JamesBeth Schneider加州大学伯克利分校向由加州大学伯克利分校、洛杉矶分校、圣塔芭芭拉分校组成的 UC-DIGSSS 联盟（加州大学社会科学研究生多样性倡议）提供了为期三年的资助，以完成一项试点计划，以扩大参与范围 少数族裔学生进入社会科学领域的人数不足。 UC-DIGSSS 的目标不仅是增加代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量，而且还帮助转变学院文化，使机构环境对代表性不足的少数族裔更具吸引力。 UC-DIGSS 与各系主任、系主任、研究生顾问和教师密切合作，启动了一系列新项目，以招募和留住社会和行为科学研究生项目中代表性不足的少数族裔学生。 自拨款开始以来，所有三个校区的社会科学研究生课程录取学生人数均有所增加。 UC-DIGSS 在更广泛的研究生教育和教授联盟 (AGEP) 社区中发挥着重要作用。 SBE 教职员工和学生的加入扩大了 AGEP 社区的学科范围，就社会和机构不平等的起源和后果进行了更知情的对话，并丰富了项目的社会和教育背景。 UC-DIGSSS 将继续在初步成功的基础上继续前进： .与 MSI（少数族裔服务机构）建立合作伙伴关系，通过与 MSI 跨行政部门、教职员工建立纵向关系来增加申请者群体...在研究生课程的早期阶段（前三年）为少数族裔学生提供与教师一对一的研究培训，以帮助培养研究技能并在项目早期与教师导师建立牢固的联系。通过关注社区来提高保留率 为研究生研究建立和创造支持，包括导师资助、写作改进研讨会、专业会议出席、实地研究和硕士考试支持。该计划最广泛的影响是创造协同效应，以扩大 SBE 领域代表性不足的学生的参与，不仅在联盟校园内，而且在全国范围内。 这将通过在学院内部促进关于种族化身份和实践的更知情的对话，并加强合作努力来增加申请者群体并留住更多获得社会科学博士学位的学生来实现。
