AGEP SUNY Phase II: Building a Community of Science Scholars

纽约州立大学AGEP第二阶段：建立科学学者社区项目摘要纽约州立大学AGEP是纽约州立大学(SUNY)系统内四个主要博士授予机构的联盟；斯通布鲁克大学(LEAD)、奥尔巴尼大学、宾厄姆顿大学和布法罗大学；纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟(SUNY LSAMP)和布鲁克海文国家实验室。这个联盟与联邦、州和地方政府机构、资助的项目、专业和社区组织以及一系列支线学校合作。纽约州立大学AGEP计划建立一个科学学者社区，该社区将建立在非常成功和有充分记录的招聘和保留方法的基础上。纽约州立大学AGEP第二阶段的目标是大幅增加获得博士学位并进入科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)专业的少数族裔学生人数，并进行必要的体制改革，以培养真正的包容性教授。纽约州立大学AGEP计划在第一阶段的经验教训和变化的基础上，计划让教员和STEM部门参与一系列活动，这些活动将增加招聘，改善保留率，解决研究生教育的学术和社会氛围中的障碍，增加对教授的兴趣和入学机会，并通过发展位于石溪的国家包容性教育中心来增加UREP STEM奖学金和项目运作。为了在达到学位产生和招生目标所需的数量级上产生变化，纽约州立大学AGEP继续设计和实施一个全面的服务网络，以影响学生、教员、系和机构。所提供的服务包括：分享有关最佳实践的信息、为研究和专业发展提供财政支持；一系列社区建设活动、提供学术和社会支持的活动；学生和教职员工有机会出席专业会议介绍他们的研究成果；纽约州立大学AGEP暑期研究所和Summer Bridge Pro为研究生学习招募有才华的本科生并为他们做好准备；以及为学生和教职员工举办一系列全州活动。为了促进这些目标，纽约州立大学AGEP继续开发和实施：1)全面、及时和准确的数据收集和跟踪系统；2)整个联盟的综合沟通系统；3)全计划评估，使用形成性和总结性措施来衡量计划的成功，并在更大的政策问题背景下审查计划；4)强有力的衔接，以增加成功从本科生转到研究生院的学生；以及5)在每个机构内建立强有力的支持系统，使纽约州立大学AGEP的目标成为纽约大学基础设施的永久组成部分。纽约州立大学的智力成就AGEP正在密切关注课程和教学问题及其对学生成功和职业选择的影响。此外，通过国家全纳教育中心(CIE)，纽约州立大学AGEP将寻求增加关于UREP STEM项目及其有效性的学术研究。通过评估国家CIE的活动和工作，纽约州立大学AGEP计划大幅增加关于UREP STEM问题和方案的知识库。这反过来将不仅有助于改变联盟内的机构，而且还将改善全国UREP学生的整体环境。

SUNY AGEP Phase II: Building a Community of Science Scholars Project Summary SUNY AGEP is a coalition of the four major doctoral granting institutions within the State University of New York (SUNY) system; Stony Brook University (lead), University at Albany, Binghamton University, and the University at Buffalo; SUNY Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP) and Brookhaven National Laboratory. This coalition works in collaboration with federal, state, and local government agencies, funded programs, professional and community based organizations, and a series of feeder schools. SUNY AGEP plans to build a community of science scholars that will build on the highly successful and well-documented approaches for recruitment and retention. The goals of SUNY AGEP in Phase II are to substantially increase the number of underrepresented minority students getting doctoral degrees and entering the professoriate in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and to make the institutional change necessary to develop a truly inclusive professoriate. Building on the lessons learned and changes made in Phase I, SUNY AGEP plans to engage faculty and STEM departments in a series of activities that will increase recruitment, improve retention, address barriers in the academic and social climate of graduate education, increase interest in and entrance to the professoriate, and increase UREP STEM scholarship and program operation through the growth of the National Center for Inclusive Education housed at Stony Brook. In order to produce change in the order of magnitude necessary to meet degree production, and enrollment targets, SUNY AGEP continues to design and implement a comprehensive network of services that impact students, faculty, departments and institutions. Services include: sharing information related to best practices, financial support for research and professional development; a series of community building activities, activities that provide academic and social support; opportunities for students and faculty to attend professional conferences to present of their research; the SUNY AGEP Summer Research Institute and Summer Bridge Pro to recruit and prepare talented undergraduates for graduate study and a range of statewide activities for students and faculty. To facilitate these goals, SUNY AGEP continues to develop and implement: 1)a comprehensive, timely and accurate data collection and tracking system, 2) a comprehensive communication system throughout the Alliance, 3) a program-wide evaluation that uses both formative and summative measures to gauge program success and examine the program in the context of larger policy issues, 4) strong articulation in order to increase the pool of students who move successfully from undergraduate to graduate institutions, and 5) a strong support system within each institution to make SUNY AGEP goals become a permanent part of the SUNY infrastructure. Intellectual Merit SUNY AGEP is looking closely at curricular and pedagogical issues and their effects on student success and choice of careers. In addition, through the National Center for Inclusive Education (CIE), SUNY AGEP will look to increase the scholarship about UREP STEM programs and their effectiveness. Broader Impact Through the assessment of activities and the work of the National CIE, SUNY AGEP plans to add substantially to the knowledge base about UREP STEM issues and programs. This in turn will help to not only transform the institutions in the Alliance but also improve the overall climate for UREP students nationally.
