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.

PROMISE，研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP）在马里兰州，提出了一个新的，扩大的联盟，名为PROMISE途径项目，旨在扩大从两个先前AGEP项目的成功，通过与其他机构合作，以增加代表性不足的少数民族学生（URM）谁将追求研究生学位在STEM领域，增加URM研究生在STEM的保留，为参与者提供更多的博士后机会，为教授职位的研究生和博士后研究员做好准备，并为各种机构的学术生涯提供申请和机会。PROMISE成立于2002年，由马里兰州巴尔的摩县大学（UMBC）领导，是一个多机构财团，包括UMBC，马里兰州大学公园（UMCP）和马里兰州大学，巴尔的摩（UMB）。这个提议的PROMISE路径项目探索和开发了扩大当前联盟所需的基础设施，包括马里兰州大学系统内的所有大学，四所马里兰州的社区学院，以及波多黎各的前NSF示范卓越机构（MIE）西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）。PROMISE途径的新成员将建立在UMBC，UMCP和UMB与以前的AGEP资金取得的招聘和保留成功的基础上，将各自的本科生转移到马里兰州的博士授予公立研究型大学的研究生课程，建立教师之间的关系，并为高级研究生和博士后提供指导教学和培训机会，使他们能够成为下一代STEM教授新的PROMISE途径项目计划有四个主要组成部分：1。创造一个来自马里兰州的代表性不足的学生的扩大管道？的机构谁将攻读博士学位。2.在马里兰州内建立一个更强大的STEM教师网络，他们将促进涉及代表性不足的本科生和研究生的研究合作，并在全州培养指导代表性不足的学生的意识。3.提供马里兰州？STEM博士生的代表性不足，他们的项目促进了大学学术网络，专业发展和学位完成。4.提供先进的研究生和博士后互动研讨会，将培养他们的教授沿着动手，指导教学经验，在广泛的机构，包括研究机构，主要是白色机构，历史上黑人学院和大学，西班牙裔服务机构，和社区学院。智力优势：PROMISE Pathways项目将促进更广泛的学术网络进行研究合作。它还将推进和通知研究生教育领域和扩大STEM参与的子学科以及社区的心理意义，以保留STEM中的URM。该项目将探索创意写作会议（例如应用/提案/论文/组合房子），通过文件准备来指导学生。该项目还将开发一套指导教学机会，以促进为教授职位做准备。这两个例子对于培养新一代多样化的教授具有潜在的变革性。这些概念是基于7年来在较小层面上的成功项目，并正在考虑扩大。校园有资源，设施和行政支持，以发展本途径提案中的活动。更广泛的影响：这个途径项目推进发现和保留，教学法和追求教授的影响因素的理解。它促进教学，培训和学习，通过同行指导，教师指导的教学经验，培训/辅导方法，将参与者在他们的职业生涯中的每个里程碑做好准备。该项目扩大了代表性不足的群体的参与，特别侧重于推动STEM中代表性不足的少数群体向教授迈进。该项目还照顾到患有有形和无形残疾的参与者。该项目将加强伙伴校园之间专业发展活动的远程学习基础设施。研究结果将通过会议记录、期刊投稿，特别是通过博客和网站组成的PROMISE网络广泛传播。对社会的扩大影响将包括对方法和模型的理解，这些方法和模型可以促进URM STEM的保留和向教授的过渡。该项目旨在成为美国其他机构、联盟和大学系统可以复制的模式。
