This NSF AGEP Catalyst Alliance project addresses the important question of how to advance the role and increase the presence of members of traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM faculty positions. The particular focus of this project is to explore such challenges in the context of the often overlooked role played by institutions ranked Doctoral Universities – High research activity (R2) with strong research programs and holding a Minority Serving status. Composed of researchers and leaders from two Hispanic Serving R2 Institutions: Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) and New Mexico State University (NMSU), this NSF AGEP Catalyst Alliance team is using their expertise in promoting diversity to expand knowledge about the shared and specific challenges facing doctoral students and early career faculty in STEM field and building best practices to catalyze equitable and inclusive institutional transformation.The specific goals of the 2-year project are to identify the inequities in these institutions that prevent the advancement and success of faculty members from traditionally underrepresented groups and to establish a strategic alliance aimed at increasing the number of Hispanic and Native American faculty in STEM disciplines. This will be accomplished through a collection of coordinated efforts, inclusive of engagement of institutional leadership, collection and analysis of present and historical data, and development and deployment of pilot equity strategies. The project will culminate with the development of a comprehensive 5-year equity strategic plan to guide the foundation of a strong alliance working towards collective impact.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.

这个NSF AGEP催化剂联盟项目解决了如何推进作用和增加传统上代表性不足的群体成员在STEM教师职位中的存在的重要问题。该项目的特别重点是探索这些挑战的背景下，往往被忽视的作用排名博士大学机构-高研究活动（R2）具有强大的研究计划，并持有少数民族服务状态。由来自两个西班牙裔服务R2机构的研究人员和领导人组成：德克萨斯A& M大学-科珀斯克里斯蒂（TAMU-CC）和新墨西哥州州立大学（NMSU），这个NSF AGEP催化剂联盟团队正在利用他们在促进多样性方面的专业知识，扩大对博士生和早期职业教师在STEM领域面临的共同和具体挑战的了解，并建立最佳实践，以促进公平和包容的机构转型。今年的项目是确定这些机构的不平等现象，这些不平等现象阻碍了传统上代表性不足的群体的教师的进步和成功，并建立了一个战略联盟，旨在增加STEM学科中西班牙裔和美洲原住民教师的数量。这将通过汇集协调一致的努力来实现，包括机构领导的参与，收集和分析当前和历史数据，以及制定和部署试点公平战略。该项目最终将制定一个全面的5年股权战略计划，以指导建立一个强大的联盟，努力实现集体影响。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。
