SBE Collaborative Research: Atlantic Coast Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Alliance

…Robert Schwab马里兰大学学院公园分校Steven Ullmann迈阿密大学安妮·多纳利佛罗里达大学奥兰多·泰勒·霍华德大学大西洋海岸社会、行为和经济科学（AC-SBE）联盟的目标，包括霍华德大学、佛罗里达大学、马里兰大学学院公园分校、迈阿密大学、与北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校合作，旨在增加少数族裔学生在社会、行为和经济科学领域获得博士学位并最终成为教授的人数。这五所大学在向少数族裔学生颁发SBE领域的博士学位方面都处于全国领先地位。AC-SBE联盟的计划包括旨在帮助学生从本科到研究生课程再到教授阶段的每一步的元素。该联盟有四个目标：(1)招收和准备本科生攻读SBE领域的博士学位；(2)帮助学生从本科学习过渡到研究生学习；(3)留住博士生并提高学位完成率；(4)为未来的SBE教师做好准备。尽管AC-SBE联盟中的五所学校各有特色，但AC-SBE联盟将包括一系列涉及所有五所大学的总体活动。例如，该联盟将以霍华德大学的暑期学院为基础，为STEM学科的未来教师做好准备，推出平行的SBE组件。此外，进入AC-SBE的学生将被邀请参加北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校Odum社会科学研究所为期一周的社会科学数据分析入门课程。Odum学院还将为AC-SBE学生提供一些视频会议短期课程。我们将努力确保SBE联盟的学生有更多的机会在诸如nsf支持的EMERGE会议上进行互动和交流。更广泛的影响。通过整合五个AC-SBE联盟机构的资源，AC-SBE将在全国广泛的地区产生广泛的影响，最终产生SBE博士学位获得者。因此，AC-SBE将作为一个全面的项目，招收、指导和毕业于上海中医药大学博士课程的学生，并执行策略，以确定和广泛支持想要攻读研究生和学术生涯的上海中医药大学学生。AC-SBE联盟机构的包容性规范和已经建立的关系将在资助支持终止后很长时间内持续下去，以继续努力确保大量少数民族学生攻读并获得博士学位并进入教授学位。

All five universities are among the nation's leaders in awarding PhDs in the SBE fields to underrepresented minority students. The plan for the AC-SBE Alliance includes elements designed to help students at each step as they move from undergraduate school into graduate programs and onto the professoriate. The consortium has four objectives: (1) Recruit and prepare undergraduates to pursue a PhD in SBE fields, (2) Assist students in the transition from undergraduate to graduate study, (3) Retain PhD students and increase degree completion rates, and (4) Prepare future SBE faculty for success. Although each of the five schools in the AC-SBE alliance has unique features, the AC-SBE Alliance will include a number of overarching activities that will involve all five universities. For one example, the Alliance will build upon Howard University's Summer Institute that prepares future faculty in the STEM disciplines to launch a parallel SBE component. Also, entering AC-SBE students will be invited to participate in a one-week course Introduction to Data Analysis for the Social Sciences at the Odum Institute for Research in the Social Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Odum Institute will also offer a number of videoconference short courses for AC-SBE students. Efforts will be made to ensure that the students in the SBE Alliance have further opportunities to interact and network at conferences such as the NSF-supported EMERGE. Broader Impacts. Through integrating the resources of the five AC-SBE Alliance institutions, AC-SBE will have a broad impact across a wide region of the country in the eventual production of SBE PhD recipients. Thus, AC-SBE will serve as a comprehensive project for recruiting, mentoring, and graduating URM students in SBE PhD programs, and to carry out strategies to identify and broadly support URM students who want to pursue graduate studies and academic careers. The norms of inclusiveness at the AC-SBE Alliance institutions and the relationships that have been forged will endure well past the termination of grant support to continue efforts to ensure the significant numbers of minority students pursue and receive PhD degrees and enter the professoriate.
