Collaborative Research: NSF INCLUDES: Consortium of Minority Doctoral Scholars (CMDS)

摘要吉尔伯特1649320[协作提案ID 1649328]第一部分尽管工程和计算机工作岗位预计在未来10年会有较大增长，但学生的专业数量还不足以满足这一需求。如果不培养少数族裔的技能，这些迫在眉睫的劳动力需求就无法满足：然而，拉美裔和黑人/非裔美国人只占美国博士生的一小部分。少数民族博士学者联盟(CMDS)设计和开发启动试点的目标是扩大少数民族在这些领域的参与。这个试点项目将创建一个数据门户，使研究团队能够研究和了解可能在各机构和少数民族博士生项目中试行的各种指导策略的有效性。部分少数民族博士生学者联盟(CMDS)将联合美国历史最悠久、最著名的三个少数民族博士生项目(GEM、SREB和McKnight)；这些组织在增加少数民族获得高级学位方面有着长期的影响。CMDS设计和开发发射试验将使用这三个项目的数据进行广泛的研究。研究团队将对数据进行混合方法分析，以找出这三个项目与未参与这三个项目的学生在指导工作上的共同点和差异。这将导致一种数据驱动的战略，用于研究导师计划的有效性，该战略可应用于三个CMSD成员和其他少数族裔博士学者计划。通过利用成功项目的数据来确定有效的指导策略，该项目将为更多的少数族裔创造成功的机会。这种做法不仅涉及到公平和机会，而且还涉及到发展一支将推动未来进步的劳动力。

Abstract Gilbert 1649320 [Collaborative Proposal ID 1649328]Part IAlthough major growth in engineering and computing jobs is expected in the next 10 years, students are not majoring in sufficient numbers to meet this demand. These impending workforce demands cannot be met without developing the skills of racial and ethnic minorities: however, Hispanics and Black/African Americans make up only a small percentage of doctoral students in the United States. The goal of the Consortium of Minority Doctoral Scholars (CMDS) Design and Development Launch Pilot is to broaden the participation of minorities in these fields. This pilot project will create a data portal that will allow the research team to study and understand the efficacy of various mentoring strategies that might be piloted across institutions and minority doctoral scholars programs.Part IIThe Consortium of Minority Doctoral Scholars (CMDS) will unite three of the nation's oldest and most prominent minority doctoral scholars programs (GEM, SREB and McKnight); organizations with a long history of impact in increasing the numbers of minorities obtaining advanced degrees. The CMDS Design and Development Launch Pilot will conduct extensive studies using data from these three programs. The research team will conduct a mixed method analysis of the data to discover commonalities and distinctions about the three programs' mentoring efforts as compared to students not involved in the three programs. This will result in a data-driven strategy for researching the efficacy of mentoring programs that can be applied across the three CMSD member and other minority doctoral scholars programs. By utilizing data from successful programs to pinpoint effective mentoring strategies, the project will create opportunities for larger numbers of minorities to be successful. This approach has implications not only with respect to equity and access, but also the development of a workforce that will drive future advances.
