This is a continuation of our conversation from Episode 27, where we introduced current and past participants in conversations about the National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program. In this episode, we discussed the importance of institutional change and the scholars shared their advice for program officers and project leaders on programmatic strategies for advancing equity in the STEM professoriate and for new and prospective scholars on how to thrive as graduate students, postdoctoral scholars or early career faculty members.

Our guests include:

• Dr. Luis De Jesus Baez, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University at Buffalo
• Brianna Gonzalez, Integrative Neuroscience Ph.D. Candidate at Stony Brook University
• Gretchen Johnson, Biology Ph.D. Candidate at Howard University
• Diego Padilla-Garcia, Ph.D. Candidate in Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara
• Dr. Lecia Robinson, Assistant Professor of Biology at Tuskegee University
• Dr. Tammi Taylor, Assistant Professor of Biology at Jackson State University
• Dr. Shavonn Whiten, Lead Scientist at Booz Allen Hamilton
• Dr. Michael D. Whitt, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at California State University – San Luis Obispo

The National Science Foundation’s (NSF's) Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program funds teams of institutions that work together to identify, mitigate, and ultimately eradicate, systemic barriers to success for STEM faculty from racially and ethnically minoritized identities while studying, disseminating, and reproducing those strategies to produce large-scale, sustainable change.

This episode features current and past participants in conversations about AGEP program impacts on their success. We discussed the importance of having strong mentoring networks at all stages of our journeys; they shared components of AGEP projects that have translated into professional practice and tangible outcomes for them; and we discussed how AGEP projects foster a sense of community that helps scholars succeed.
