This NSF grant aims to increase the representation of underrepresented minorities in STEM graduate education and postdoctoral training, particularly preparing them for academic STEM careers. Projects should focus on URM U.S. citizens in STEM fields and may include professional development initiatives. Proposals should aim to develop innovative models and standards to enhance URM participation and success in STEM. Various types of projects are supported, including alliances for transforming graduate education, knowledge adoption, translation, and broadening participation research. Community colleges, minority-serving institutions, and organizations supporting diversity are encouraged to participate. Individual student or postdoc applications are not accepted. Closing date for applications is Oct 30, 2012.

Alliance partners may include all types of non-profit institutions of higher education, industry, non-profit organizations, and/or Federal National laboratories (note that AGEP grant funding is limited to the organizations that are eligible for NSF support). At least one alliance partner must offer the Ph.D. in a field supported by the NSF which is includedin the alliance activities. State systems of higher education may participate as a system or as individual institutions.
  • AGEP-KAT and AGEP-BPR proposals are invited from all eligible individuals and organizations as described in the NSF Grant Proposal Guide.

Additional Information

Agency Name:: National Science Foundation
Description:: AGEP is committed to the national goal of increasing the numbers of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (URMs), including URMs with disabilities entering and completing graduate education and postdoctoral training to levels representative of the available pool of URMs. Increased URM participation in advanced STEM education and training is critical for supporting the development of a diverse professional STEM workforce especially a diverse STEM faculty who serve as the intellectual, professional, personal, and organizational role models that shape the expectations of future scientists and engineers. To achieve this long term commitment, the AGEP program will support the development, implementation, study, and dissemination of innovative models and standards of graduate education and postdoctoral training that are designed to improve URM participation, preparation, and success.AGEP projects must focus on URM U.S. citizens in STEM graduate education, and/or postdoctoral training, and their preparation for academic STEM careers at all types of institutions of higher education. STEM professional development more broadly may be included in projects with a strong and compelling argument. AGEP is interested in proposals that include any or all science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields supported by NSF including the social, behavioral and economic sciences, and multi-, cross-, or inter-disciplinary STEM fields. AGEP encourages community colleges, primarily undergraduate institutions, minority-serving institutions (Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities), women’s colleges, and institutions primarily serving persons with disabilities to participate as lead institutions and as alliance partners in all three types of AGEP projects.AGEP intends to support the following types of projects:AGEP-Transformation – Strategic alliances of institutions and organizations to develop, implement, and study innovative evidence-based models and standards for STEM graduate education, postdoctoral training, and academic STEM career preparation that eliminate or mitigate negative factors and promote positive practices for URMs.AGEP-Knowledge Adoption and Translation (AGEP-KAT) – Projects to expand the adoption (or adaptation) of research findings and evidence-based strategies and practices related to the participation and success of URMs in STEM graduate education, postdoctoral training, and academic STEM careers at all types of institutions of higher education. AGEP-Broadening Participation Research in STEM Education (AGEP-BPR) – Investigator initiated empirical research projects that seek to create and study new theory-driven models and innovations related to the participation and success of URMs in STEM graduate education, postdoctoral training, and academic STEM careers at all types of institutions of higher education. Note to students and postdoctoral scholars seeking support: The AGEP program does not make awards to individual students or postdocs to undertake their education or research activities. Undergraduates and graduate students seeking support for graduate education should review the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship program (GRFP) which is a fellowship program (http://nsfgrfp.org/). Postdoctoral scholars seeking support should review the NSF postdoctoral programs summarized at www.fastlane.nsf.gov/servlet/fastlane.pdoc.DisplayProgramType. Additionally, some NSF Directorates may have special funding opportunities to support students and postdoctoral trainees that contribute to broadening participation in STEM. The pilot AGEP-Graduate Research Supplements by the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences in this solicitation and in Dear Colleague Letter NSF 12-021 is an example. Another Dear Colleague Letter of interest is the Directorate for Engineering’s Graduate Research Diversity Supplements Dear Colleague Letter NSF 12-007. NSF principle investigators seeking funds to support diverse students and postdoctoral trainees are encouraged to contact your NSF program officer for information on potential opportunities.
