Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Sciences
  • Higher Education Faculty Diversity

Background:

  • Universities face increasing pressure to diversify faculty from underrepresented populations.
  • Existing piecemeal programs have shown limited success in increasing overall faculty diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case study of the NSF-funded Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) PROMISE Academy Alliance.
  • To describe a novel postdoc-to-faculty conversion model within the University System of Maryland (USM) aimed at diversifying faculty.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a multi-institutional consortium approach across five diverse institutions in the USM.
  • Focused on enhanced recruitment, multi-institutional networking, professional development, and facilitated transition to tenure-track positions.
  • Utilized a decentralized financial structure for replicability.

Main Results:

  • The AGEP PROMISE Academy Alliance developed and evaluated a unique postdoc-to-faculty conversion model.
  • The initiative facilitated the diversification of faculty across various institution types within the USM.
  • Qualitative lessons were learned from self-study, internal/external evaluations, and NSF site visits.

Conclusions:

  • A consortium approach linking individuals to hiring opportunities within a state university system can be more effective for increasing faculty diversity.
  • The AGEP PROMISE Academy model offers a replicable strategy for other university systems seeking to diversify their faculty.
  • This model moves beyond individual skill-building to restructure postdoctoral employment into a pathway for faculty careers.
