  3. GOAL: Substantially increase the number of underrepresented U.S. minority students who obtain Ph.D. degrees in STEM disciplines and enter the professoriate

  4. Underrepresentedminorities: 28.3% of the U.S. population in 2000 8.0% of the total science and engineering labor force 5.9% of doctoral degrees in STEM

  5. Minority STEM Ph.D. Students Enrolled in NEAGEP Institutions

  6. Building a Pathway at UMass Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) NEAGEP Internships NEAGEP Graduate Support Program

  7. SPUR Eight-week program of mentored research Stipend, free room and board Transportation costs covered www.neagep.org/spur.asp

  8. NEAGEP Internship Program Accept recent graduates into SPUR If students want to stay and their faculty mentors recommend them, they become Interns Paid graduate-level stipend, take graduate courses and work in a laboratory for a year Apply to graduate school and enter in fall if accepted

  9. NEAGEP Graduate Student Support Program First and Fifth-Year Fellowships Near-Peer Mentoring Monthly Social Events Creative Solutions Professional Development Events Travel to Professional Meetings

  10. Partner Visiting Scientist Program Junior faculty from Partner Institutions spend all or part of the summer at UMass Amherst Receive stipend Learn new techniques Develop collaborative projects

  11. People Who Make It Work:

  12. URM Enrollment in All STEM Ph.D. Programs at UMA

  13. Earned Doctoral Degrees (STEM URM)
