PROMISE, the Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) in Maryland, proposes a new, expanded alliance, titled the PROMISE Pathways Project, that seeks to expand upon successes from two prior AGEP projects by partnering with additional institutions to increase the numbers of underrepresented minority students (URMs) who will pursue graduate degrees in STEM fields, increase the retention of URM graduate students in STEM, facilitate more postdoctoral opportunities for participants, prepare graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for the professoriate, and facilitate applications and opportunities for academic careers at a variety of institutions. Formed in 2002 and led by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), PROMISE is a multi-institution consortium that includes UMBC, the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) and the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). This proposed PROMISE Pathways project explores and develops the infrastructure needed to expand the current alliance to include potentially all of the universities within the University System of Maryland, four Maryland-based community colleges, and a former NSF Model Institution of Excellence (MIE) Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in Puerto Rico. The new members of PROMISE Pathways will build upon the recruitment and retention successes that UMBC, UMCP, and UMB made with previous AGEP funding to move their respective undergraduate students to graduate programs at doctoral granting public research universities in Maryland, build relationships among faculty, and provide advanced graduate students and postdocs with mentored teaching and training opportunities so that they can be equipped to be the next generation of STEM professors. The plan for the new PROMISE Pathways project has four major components: 1. Creating an expanded pipeline of underrepresented students from Maryland?s institutions who will pursue doctoral degrees. 2. Developing a stronger network of STEM faculty within the State of Maryland who will facilitate research collaborations that will involve underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students, and foster a stronger sense of mentoring underrepresented students in STEM throughout the state. 3. Providing Maryland?s underrepresented STEM doctoral students with programs that facilitate collegial academic networks, professional development, and degree completion. 4. Offering advanced graduate students and postdocs interactive workshops that will train them for the professoriate along with hands-on, mentored teaching experiences at a wide range of institutions, including research institutions, Predominately White Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Community Colleges. Intellectual Merit: The PROMISE Pathways project will facilitate wider academic networks for research collaboration. It will also advance and inform the field of graduate education and the sub-disciplines of broadening participation in STEM and psychological sense of community for retention of URMs in STEM. The project will explore creative writing conferences (e.g. application/proposal/dissertation/portfolio house) to coach students through document preparation. The project will also develop a suite of mentored teaching opportunities to facilitate preparation for the professoriate. Both of these examples are potentially transformative with respect to developing a new generation of diverse professors. The concepts are based on 7 years of successful projects at smaller levels and are being considered for expansion. The campuses have the resources, facilities, and administrative support to develop the activities in this Pathways proposal. Broader Impacts: This Pathways project advances discovery and understanding of retention, pedagogy, and factors of influence for pursuing the professoriate. It promotes teaching, training, and learning through peer mentoring, mentored teaching experiences by faculty, and training/coaching methods that will prepare participants for each milestone in their careers. This project broadens the participation of underrepresented groups by specifically focusing on advancing underrepresented minorities in STEM toward the professoriate. The project also attends to participants with visible and invisible disabilities. This project will enhance the distance learning infrastructure for professional development activities between partner campuses. Results will be disseminated widely through conference proceedings, journal submissions, and particularly through the PROMISE network of blogs and websites. The expanded impact to society will include an understanding of methods and models that can facilitate URM STEM retention and transition to the professoriate. The project seeks to be a model that can be replicated for other institutions, alliances, and university systems in the U.S.

承诺是马里兰州的研究生教育联盟和教授（EGEP），提出了一个新的，扩展的联盟，标题为“ Promise Pathways项目”，试图通过与其他机构合作以增加代表性不足的少数群体（URMS）在较大的阶段学生中增加阶段的学生的数量来扩大两个先前的年龄项目的成功，从而增加阶段的学生，以培养阶段的学生，以培养阶层的阶段，以毕业于STEMEDERS，以培训研究员，培训级别的学生，培训级别的学生，以培养阶层的培训。参与者，为教授的研究生和博士后研究员做好准备，并为各种机构的学术职业提供申请和机会。 Promise由马里兰州大学（UMBC）成立，由马里兰州大学（UMBC）领导，是一个多机构的财团，包括UMBC，马里兰大学大学公园（UMCP）和马里兰州大学巴尔的摩大学（UMB）。这项提出的Promise Pathways项目探索并开发了扩大当前联盟所需的基础设施，以包括马里兰州大学体系中的所有大学，四所总部位于马里兰州的社区学院以及前NSF模型卓越机构（MIE）西班牙裔Serving Institation（HSI）在PUERTO RICO。 Promise Pathways的新成员将基于UMBC，UMCP和UMB的招聘和保留成功，并通过以前的Agep资金赚钱，以将各自的本科生授予博士学位的毕业课程，在马里兰州的公共研究所授予公共研究大学，在马里兰州建立关系，并在教师之间建立关系，并为高级毕业生和培训提供了良好的教学和培训机会，以便他们能够成为下一代的人。新的Promise Pathways项目的计划有四个主要组成部分：1。创建来自马里兰州机构的代表性不足的学生的扩展管道，谁将攻读博士学位。 2。在马里兰州建立更强大的STEM教师网络，该网络将促进研究合作，这将涉及不足代表的本科生和研究生，并培养一种更强的在全州的指导代表性不足的学生。 3。为马里兰州提供代表性不足的STEM博士生提供促进大学学术网络，专业发展和学位完成的课程。 4.为高级研究生和博士后互动研讨会提供，他们将在各种机构的动手，指导的教学经验以及包括研究机构，主要是白人机构，历史上的黑人分校和大学，西班牙裔美国人服务机构和社区学院的教学经验以及指导的教学经验。知识分子优点：Promise Pathways项目将促进更广泛的学术网络进行研究合作。它还将促进并为研究生教育领域以及扩大参与STEM和心理社区意识的子学科领域，以保留URMS在STEM中。该项目将探索创意写作会议（例如应用/提案/论文/投资组合之家），以通过文档准备来指导学生。该项目还将开发一套有指导的教学机会，以促进教授的准备。对于发展新一代不同的教授，这两个例子都是有潜在的变革性的。这些概念基于7年成功的项目，并正在考虑扩展。校园有资源，设施和行政支持，以在此路径建议中开发活动。更广泛的影响：这一途径项目可以提高对保留，教育学和追求教授的影响因素的发现和理解。它通过同伴指导促进教学，培训和学习，通过教师的指导教学经验以及培训/教练方法，这些方法将为参与者的职业生涯中的每个里程碑做好准备。该项目通过专门专门将代表性不足的少数族裔推向教授，从而扩大了代表性不足的群体的参与。该项目还参加有可见和看不见的残疾的参与者。该项目将增强合作伙伴校园之间专业发展活动的远程学习基础设施。结果将通过会议程序，日记提交，特别是通过博客和网站的承诺网络广泛传播。对社会的影响不断扩大，将包括对可以促进URM STEM保留和过渡到教授的方法和模型的理解。该项目试图成为可以为美国其他机构，联盟和大学系统复制的模型
