North Carolina State University, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, are collaborating to develop, implement and study the AGEP North Carolina Alliance model for creating institutional, department-level and faculty change to promote historically underrepresented minority US citizens who are completing their STEM doctoral degrees and progressing into faculty positions.This alliance was created in response to the NSF's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program solicitation (NSF 16-552) The AGEP program seeks to advance knowledge about models to improve pathways to the professoriate and success of historically underrepresented minority (URM) graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty in specific STEM disciplines and/or STEM education research fields. AGEP Transformation Alliances develop, replicate or reproduce; implement and study, via integrated educational and social science research, models to transform the dissertator phase of doctoral education, postdoctoral training and/or faculty advancement, and the transitions within and across the pathway levels, of URMs in STEM and/or STEM education research careers. This Alliance is also funded by the NSF's Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP). As the nation addresses a STEM achievement gap between URM and non-URM undergraduate and graduate students, our universities and colleges struggle to recruit, retain and promote URM STEM faculty who serve as role models and academic leaders for URM students to learn from, work with and emulate. Recent NSF reports indicate that URM STEM associate and full professors occupy 8% of these senior faculty positions at all 4-year colleges and universities and about 6% of these positions at the nation's most research-intensive institutions. The AGEP North Carolina Alliance has the potential to advance a model to improve the success of URM graduate students and faculty in the STEM professoriate. The AGEP North Carolina Alliance will employ institutional change strategies to improve the climate, practices and policies that positively impact URM graduate students and faculty in STEM. The Alliance engages university provosts and deans, as well as department heads, department-level faculty leaders and department graduate directors, to lead the transformation in science, engineering and computer science departments. The integrated research will examine faculty mentor training and barriers, and quality, of mentoring URM graduate student experiences. The formative evaluation is being conducted by Education Designs, Inc and the summative evaluation is conducted by Iowa State University's Research Institute for Studies in Education. There is an external advisory committee which will provide feedback to the team on the effectiveness and outcomes of the project, as well as the research, evaluation and dissemination work.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

北卡罗莱纳州立大学、北卡罗莱纳州农业技术州立大学和北卡罗莱纳大学夏洛特分校正在合作开发、实施和研究 GEP 北卡罗莱纳州联盟模型，以创建机构、系级和教师变革，以促进历史上代表性不足的少数族裔美国公民完成 STEM 博士学位并晋升为教职人员。该联盟是为了响应 NSF 的要求而创建的 研究生教育和教授联盟 (AGEP) 计划征集 (NSF 16-552) GEP 计划旨在增进有关模型的知识，以改善历史上代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 研究生、博士后研究员和特定 STEM 学科和/或 STEM 教育研究领域的教师的通往教授之路和成功之路。 AGEP 转型联盟开发、复制或复制；通过综合教育和社会科学研究，实施和研究模型，以改变 STEM 和/或 STEM 教育研究职业中 URM 的博士教育、博士后培训和/或教师晋升的论文阶段，以及路径级别内部和之间的过渡。该联盟还得到了 NSF 历史上黑人学院和大学 - 本科项目 (HBCU-UP) 的资助。随着国家解决 URM 与非 URM 本科生和研究生之间的 STEM 成绩差距，我们的大学和学院努力招募、留住和提拔 URM STEM 教师，他们是 URM 学生学习、合作和效仿的榜样和学术领袖。最近的 NSF 报告表明，在所有四年制学院和大学中，URM STEM 副教授和正教授占据了高级教职职位的 8%，在全国研究最密集的机构中，约占这些职位的 6%。 GEP 北卡罗莱纳州联盟有潜力推进一种模式，以提高 URM 研究生和 STEM 教授界教师的成功率。 AGEP 北卡罗莱纳州联盟将采用制度变革策略来改善氛围、实践和政策，从而对 URM 研究生和 STEM 领域的教师产生积极影响。 该联盟聘请大学教务长和院长、系主任、系级教师领导和系研究生主任来领导科学、工程和计算机科学系的转型。 这项综合研究将考察教师导师培训以及 URM 研究生指导经历的障碍和质量。形成性评估由 Education Designs, Inc 进行，总结性评估由爱荷华州立大学教育研究所进行。 有一个外部咨询委员会，将就项目的有效性和成果以及研究、评估和传播工作向团队提供反馈。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
