University of Puerto Rico System Proposal For Phase II of the UPR Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP)

波多黎各大学的普遍定期审议目标是满足波多黎各对优秀，训练有素的科学和技术标准和技术专业人员的公关需求，并协助满足国家对不同标准和技术观点的需求。为此，普遍定期审议通过美国国家科学基金会的AGEP项目资助，以实现以下目标：将STEM博士的平均人数增加到每年40人，将STEM博士项目的入学人数增加25%，将普遍定期审议STEM博士项目的美国学生人数增加22人，将工程和化学物理领域的女性人数增加10人，将选择学术生涯的STEM博士毕业生人数增加15人，将PR-AGEP的政策和实践制度化。为了实现目标，普遍定期审议将在PR- agep第一阶段成功的基础上，通过以下工作：加强PR- agep第一阶段的“桥梁”助教、学术生产力和同侪指导研讨会；通过与公共关系和美国大陆REU项目系统地合作，继续招募少数民族和女学生；建立一个集中跟踪表格，跟踪每个研究生的进展；每年提供20个2万美元的奖励，以吸引有才华的学生进入学术界和特别短缺的领域，并完成研讨会，跟踪系统和招聘指南的制度化。

The University of Puerto Rico's UPR goals are to meet Puerto Rico's PR demands for excellent, highly trained science and technology S&T professionals, and assist in meeting the nation's need for diverse S&T perspectives. To those ends, UPR is being funded through NSF's AGEP program to attain the following:Increase the average number of STEM Ph.D.'s to 40 per yearIncrease enrollment in STEM Ph.D. programs by 25%Increase the number of stateside students in UPR STEM Ph.D. programs by 22Increase the number of women in engineering and chemical physics by 10Increase the number of STEM Ph.D. graduates opting for academic careers by 15Institutionalize PR-AGEP's policies and practices. To attain the objectives, UPR will build on PR-AGEP Phase I successes by doing the following:Enhancing PR-AGEP Phase I "bridging"TA, scholarly productivity, and peer mentoring workshops, Continuing the recruitment of minority and female students by systematically working with PR and Mainland U.S. REU programs, Establishing a centralized tracking form to follow the progress of each graduate student, Providing twenty awards of $20,000 each year to attract talented students into academia and areas with a particular shortage, and Completing the institutionalization of workshops, the tracking system, and recruitment guidelines.
