 MINORITY PH.D. PROGRAMS HELP DIVERSIFY STEM WORKFORCE

 
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Minority Ph.D. (MPHD) program is celebrating its 20th year of assisting efforts to diversify the U.S. Ph.D. degree-holding workforce by increasing the recruitment, retention and graduation of URM doctoral students in STEM - especially in fields where national trends document persistent underrepresentation.
 
The MPHD program - which is administered by the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME) - has funded 1,808 scholars and produced 905 Ph.D. graduates in four broad disciplines: engineering, physical sciences, biological sciences and mathematics.
 
In addition to NACME’s MHPD program, the smaller and newer Sloan Indigenous Graduate Partnership (SIGP) program the association administers has funded 153 Master of Science and 76 Ph.D. American Indian/Alaska Native scholars, and produced 87 Master of Science and 22 Ph.D. graduates.
 
Starting in 2013, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation made the bold decision to award larger grants to fewer institutions with proven success in recruiting, retaining and graduating URM Ph.D. students. The new three-year grants seek to expand, strengthen and institutionalize efforts aimed at minority recruitment, mentoring, educational support and professional development.
 
In 2013 the Foundation awarded more than $3 million to three University Centers of Exemplary Mentoring (UCEM): Cornell University, Georgia Institute of Technology and The Pennsylvania State University.
 
In 2014 approximately $1.7 million in awards were made to two new UCEM partners: the University of South Florida and the University of Iowa.
 
In 2015 the Foundation announced an award of $3 million to three new UCEMs: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of California, San Diego.
 
All awards to scholars cover stipends and professional development activities.
