MGE: MU-Minority Graduate Education Project

HRD-9817233布雷迪迪顿该提案概述了密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（MU）的详细计划，以招募和培训32名学生作为高等教育机构的未来教师，并为40名学生提供两个为期8周的夏季准备课程，以鼓励和准备他们进入研究生院。 该计划，题为MU少数民族研究生教育项目（MU-MGE）为我们提供了一个独特的机会，以巩固和协调正在进行的计划，旨在招募和培养有才华的代表性不足的学生，并提供uniqueenrichment或发展服务的学生在MU的几个程序。 同样重要的是，它将使我们能够实施创新的项目活动，一些是以前讨论过的，另一些是专门为这个项目设计的，并使那些有效的活动制度化。 该计划将提供一个模型，大型研究机构，如MU，可以提供必要的组成部分，以促进职业目标和机会，为代表性不足的少数民族进入高等教育机构的教授职位。这里描述的MU-MGE项目将有5,423,872美元的总预算，从NSF要求2,401,784美元，3022美元，密苏里-哥伦比亚大学的费用分摊。 该计划包括要求从NSF的资金，以支持未来的教师参与者在头两年，与MU提供补充资金在这段时间内，然后MU providingsupport他们为其余三年，共五年的支持为每个。 此外，行政费用的资金-一个项目经理，招聘/保留/职业规划专家，秘书和17个研究生助理-是要求从国家科学基金会加上一些最低的资金，以支持为期8周的夏季准备计划和杂项其他费用，如用品，电话，旅行，和出版物，在招聘期间宣传该项目，并在NSF资助终止后传播有关该项目的信息。为了继续该项目，在NSF资助的五年之后，承担额外四年的项目融资责任，该项目将在NSF资助期之后继续。 这是我们的期望，额外的内部和外部资金将被发现，以扩大计划的产品和时间周期，甚至超过总九年的承诺MU。该项目包括一个正在进行的评估系统，每一个程序提供和持续监测学生的进步。 通过收集和仔细评估这些详细的数据，这将使我们能够根据需要进行必要的调整，特别是每年改进计划。 它将为MU提供一个机会，与校园内的许多其他人协调MU-MGE项目的努力，并与其他项目官员合作开发新产品。 通过访问教师发展部分，这些参与者和MU教师将与少数民族服务机构的教师建立关系。 这些变化，在校园气氛和扩大的关系，将确保与MU的努力，以推进代表性不足的少数民族获得博士学位，并成为未来的教师的机会更大的成功。

HRD-9817233Brady DeatonThis proposal outlines a detailed plan by the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) to recruit, andtrain 32 students as future faculty in higher education institutions, and to provide two 8-weeksummer-readiness programs for 40 students, to encourage and prepare them for admission tograduate school. This program, entitled the MU Minority Graduate Education Project (MU-MGE)provides a unique opportunity for us to consolidate and coordinate on-going programs designed torecruit and train talented underrepresented students, and several programs that offer uniqueenrichment or development services to students at MU. Equally important, it will enable us toimplement innovative program activities, some previously-discussed and others designedspecifically for this project, and to institutionalize those that are effective. The program willprovide a model for how large research institutions, such as MU, can provide the necessarycomponents to advance the career goals and opportunities for underrepresented minorities to enterthe professorate in higher education institutions.The MU-MGE project described here will have a total budget of $5,423,872, with $2,401,784requested from NSF, and $3,022,088 in cost-sharing by the University of Missouri-Columbia. Theplan includes requesting funding from NSF to support the future faculty participants during the firsttwo years, with MU providing supplemental funding during this time, and then MU providingsupport to them for the remaining three years for a total of five years of support for each. Inaddition, funding for administrative costs--a Project Manager, Recruitment/Retention/CareerPlanning Specialist, Secretary and 17 Graduate Assistants--is requested from NSF plus somemodest funding to support the 8-week summer readiness program and miscellaneous other costssuch as supplies, telephone, travel, and publications to advertise the project during recruitment andto disseminate information about it once NSF funding terminates.Because MU is committed to continuing the project by assuming responsibility for financing theproject for four additional years beyond the five-years supported by NSF, this project will continuebeyond the NSF funding period. It is our expectation that additional internal and external fundingwill be found to expand the program offerings and the time period even beyond the total nine-yearcommitment of MU.This project includes an ongoing evaluation system of every program offering and continualmonitoring of student progress. With the collection and careful evaluation of such detailed data this will enable us to make necessary adjustments as needs arise, and especially for improving theprogram offerings from year to year. It will provide an opportunity for MU to coordinate the efforts for the MU-MGE project with those of many others on campus, and to collaborate in developing new offerings with other program officers. And through the Visiting Faculty Development component, relationships will be developed by these participants and MU faculty with faculty from minority-serving institutions. These changes, in campus climate and expanded relationships, will ensure even greater success with MU's efforts to advance the opportunities for underrepresented minorities to obtain doctoral degrees and to become future faculty.
