This grant, offered by the Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program, aims to significantly increase the representation of underrepresented minorities (URMs) in faculty positions across American universities, colleges, and community colleges. Specifically targeting African-Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Pacific Islanders, and URM persons with disabilities, this initiative fosters the development of human capital and essential academic infrastructure. The AGEP program supports the graduate education of underrepresented STEM students through the doctorate level, preparing them for productive careers as STEM faculty and research professionals. It also works to transform institutional culture, ensuring greater attraction and retention of STEM doctoral students into the professoriate, thereby contributing to diverse academic leadership.

| Description: | The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program aims to develop the human capital and administrative and academic infrastructure that will enable the placement of underrepresented minorities (URMs; African-Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Pacific Islanders) in faculty positions at American universities, colleges and community colleges. Please note that AGEP welcomes participation by URM students with disabilities. From its inception in 1998 as the Minority Graduate Education (MGE) program, it has grown from 8 participating universities to 108 institutions, including about 80% of the top producers of African American and Hispanic PhDs. AGEP institutions have been successful at increasing the numbers of URMs enrolled in and graduated from their STEM graduate programs. The educational research portfolio contributes to the body of literature of successful practices in student recruitment, retention, persistence, and attainment of STEM undergraduate and graduate degrees, especially for populations underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Pacific Islanders. AGEP welcomes the participation of URM persons with disabilities.AGEP alliances further the graduate education of underrepresented STEM students through the doctorate level, preparing them for fulfilling opportunities and productive careers as STEM faculty and research professionals.
