Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP)
Programs
The AGEP program is intended to increase significantly the number of
domestic students receiving doctoral degrees in the sciences, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with special emphasis on those population
groups underrepresented in these fields (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics,
American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders).

National
Science Foundation or the
American Association for the Adancements of Science.
The American Society for Engineering Education is a nonprofit member
association, founded in 1893, dedicated to promoting and improving engineering
and engineering technology education.
(Committee On the Advancement of Women Chemists) COACh is an organization
of individuals concerned about the slow progress that is being made in
reaching gender equity in academia in the chemical sciences
Faculty for the Future is the only website dedicated to linking a diverse
pool of women and under-represented minority candidates from engineering,
science, and business with faculty and research positions at universities
across the country.
The Southern Regional Education Board's Doctoral Scholars Program was
developed with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Ford Foundation.
It is part of a nationwide initiative, the Compact for Faculty Diversity,
to produce more minority Ph.D.s and to encourage them to seek faculty
positions.
(Women in Engineering Programs & Advocates Network)WEPAN began
in 1990 as a collaboration of leaders at several major universities who
were focused on supporting women in engineering fields of study. WEPAN
is dedicated to improving the climate for and success of all women in
engineering. By transforming environments in institutions of higher education,
a diverse population of aspiring engineers can succeed.
