The project team is examining the needs of the NSF Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate’s (AGEP) Transformation Alliances for a national resource center that would include awardee data, tools, materials, and products. As institutions of higher education (IHEs) across our nation aim to reproduce the strategies and interventions that were developed, implemented, and studied by more than two dozen AGEP Transformation Alliances and over 100 awarded IHEs, it is necessary to make these resources available for broad dissemination. Determining the needs for a national resource center of publicly available AGEP Transformation Alliance materials, offers to stimulate future community initiatives to create an information hub that will advance knowledge about broadening the participation of STEM graduate students, postdoctoral research scholars, and faculty who are members of racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in STEM.The research team is conducting a series of surveys and interviews with the AGEP Transformation Alliance teams to assess the information materials from awards that were issued in response to the NSF AGEP Program Solicitations NSF 14-505 and NSF 16-552. It is urgent to conduct this assessment as some of the awards have already ended and others will soon expire. The investigators are examining the scope of materials, issues of licensing and privacy, use agreements, and the preservation needs for the material transfers. In addition to the initial surveys, interviews, and assessments, the project team will also gather input from a broader community of stakeholders, including but not limited to current and former awardees in the NSF INCLUDES and the NSF ADVANCE networks. Results from the project work will be shared with AGEP Transformation Alliances, other NSF AGEP awardees, and a broad group of interested people and organizations.The award is funded by NSF's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program, which supports STEM education research to increase the number of faculty who are members of racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in STEM.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.

该项目小组正在研究NSF研究生教育联盟和教授协会（AGEP）转型联盟对国家资源中心的需求，该中心将包括获奖者数据，工具，材料和产品。由于全国各地的高等教育机构（IHE）的目标是复制二十多个AGEP转型联盟和100多个获奖的IHE制定，实施和研究的战略和干预措施，有必要使这些资源广泛传播。 确定需要一个国家资源中心的公开可用AGEP转型联盟材料，提供刺激未来的社区倡议，以创建一个信息中心，将推进有关扩大STEM研究生，博士后研究学者，和教师谁是种族和民族群体的成员在STEM代表不足。研究小组正在进行一系列的调查和采访，AGEP转型联盟团队评估响应NSF AGEP计划招标NSF 14-505和NSF 16-552而颁发的奖项的信息材料。迫切需要进行这一评估，因为有些裁决已经结束，其他裁决也即将到期。调查人员正在审查材料的范围、许可证和隐私问题、使用协议以及材料转让的保存需求。除了最初的调查，访谈和评估外，项目团队还将收集更广泛的利益相关者社区的意见，包括但不限于NSF INCLUDES和NSF ADVANCE网络中的现任和前任获奖者。项目工作的结果将与AGEP转化联盟，其他NSF AGEP获奖者以及广泛的感兴趣的人和组织分享。该奖项由NSF的研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）计划资助，该奖项支持STEM教育研究，以增加STEM中代表性不足的种族和民族成员的教师数量。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
