Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate

Description

The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program, is intended to increase significantly the number of students receiving doctoral degrees in the sciences (physical and life science disciplines), mathematics, and engineering (SME), with special emphasis on those population groups underrepresented in these fields. In addition, since lack of role models and mentors in the professoriate constitutes a significant barrier to producing minority SME graduates, NSF is particularly interested in increasing the number of minorities who will enter the professoriate in these disciplines. Specific objectives of the AGEP program are (1) to develop and implement innovative models for recruiting, mentoring, and retaining minority students in SME doctoral programs and (2) to develop effective strategies for identifying and supporting underrepresented minorities who want to pursue academic careers.

Target Dates and Deadlines

The program solicitation is being revised.
