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.

摘要 Gilbert 1649320 [协作提案 ID 1649328]第 I 部分 尽管预计未来 10 年工程和计算机工作岗位将大幅增长，但主修专业的学生数量不足以满足这一需求。 如果不发展少数种族和族裔的技能，就无法满足这些迫在眉睫的劳动力需求：然而，西班牙裔和黑人/非裔美国人仅占美国博士生的一小部分。 少数族裔博士学者联盟（CMDS）设计和开发启动试点的目标是扩大少数族裔在这些领域的参与。 该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族裔博士学者项目中试点的各种指导策略的有效性。第二部分少数族裔博士学者联盟（CMDS）将联合美国三个最古老、最著名的少数族裔博士学者项目（GEM、SREB 和 McKnight）；在增加获得高级学位的少数群体数量方面具有悠久影响力的组织。 CMDS 设计和开发启动试点将利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，以发现与未参与这三个项目的学生相比，这三个项目的辅导工作的共性和区别。 这将产生一个数据驱动的策略，用于研究指导计划的有效性，该策略可以应用于三个 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，该项目将为更多少数族裔创造成功的机会。 这种方法不仅对公平和准入有影响，而且对推动未来进步的劳动力的发展也有影响。
