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 Underrepresented minorities: 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 Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) NEAGEP Internships NEAGEP Graduate Support Program

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

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
