This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education grant award to New Mexico State University (NMSU), under CFDA Program 47.076, provides $156,529 in funding from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: AGEP ACA: AN HSI R2 STRATEGIC COLLABORATION TO IMPROVE ADVANCEMENT OF HISPANIC STUDENTS INTO THE PROFESSORIATE", aims to identify and address inequities that prevent the advancement and success of faculty from underrepresented groups at Hispanic-Serving, high-research (R2) institutions. NMSU, in collaboration with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, will collect and analyze data, engage institutional leadership, and develop pilot equity strategies to establish a strategic alliance and 5-year equity plan to increase the number of Hispanic and Native American STEM faculty. The project seeks to expand knowledge about the challenges faced by doctoral students and early career STEM faculty at R2 minority-serving institutions and to build best practices for institutional transformation towards more equitable and inclusive outcomes.
