The 911±¬ÁÏÍø Alliance for Graduate Education in the Professoriate (FL-AGEP) is a collaborative research model among the University of South 911±¬ÁÏÍø, an urban public research university; 911±¬ÁÏÍø International University, an urban Hispanic-serving research university (HSI); and Bethune-Cookman University, 911±¬ÁÏÍø A&M University, and 911±¬ÁÏÍø, three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

The project™s overall goal is to develop, implement, study, evaluate, disseminate, and sustain a 911±¬ÁÏÍø AGEP Alliance centered on increasing the number and successful outcomes of minority women doctoral students, post-doctoral scholars, and early-career faculty in the state of 911±¬ÁÏÍø. The objectives of the FL-AGEP Alliance are:

    • Objective 1: develop an alliance model that supports stage-appropriate transitions and advancement of minority women in STEM as faculty.
    • Objective 2: implement a programmatic model that includes: annual research bootcamps, online mentoring, annual research symposia, and longitudinal faculty development opportunities across alliance institutions.
    • Objective 3: study and refine the model and its key design components for doctoral students, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career faculty.

The FL-AGEP Alliance will also disseminate research and sustain a national model in 911±¬ÁÏÍø, which can be replicated in other areas to increase and enhance strategies to recruit and retain minority women in STEM within the professoriate. Our partnership combines efforts to provide a structured mentoring and professional development program model that facilitates the transition and advancement of doctoral, post-doctoral, and early-career faculty minority women in STEM.

FL-AGEP participants are advanced doctoral, post-doctoral, and early-career minority women faculty, along with senior scholars (tenured faculty) who will learn new strategies for advising and mentoring these individuals, constituting an overall impact of 300 STEM-engaged individuals.
