The Goals  The Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (NEAGEP) is one of 26 NSF-funded Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program in the US. The goal of the NEAGEP is to increase the number of domestic students receiving doctoral degrees and entering the professoriate in the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We are particularly interested in recruiting, supporting and mentoring students of those population groups underrepresented in STEM fields (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders). Alliance Institutions The NSF has designated the University of Massachusetts Amherst the lead university in the Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate. Member campuses are:
UMass Amherst Boston University Massachusetts Institute of Technology Pennsylvania State University Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey		University of Connecticut University of Maine University of New Hampshire University of Rhode Island University of Vermont
Partner Institutions Alliance Institutions work actively with five minority-serving Partner Institutions to increase the number of underrepresented minority students who receive doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines. Partner Institutions are:
Bennett College, NC Jackson State University, MS Lincoln University, PA		Medgar Evers College, CUNY, NY University of Puerto Rico, Mayaquez, PR
NEAGEP Summer Programs UMass Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) Boston University Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) MIT Summer Research Program (MSRP) Penn State University Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) Rutgers Research in Science and Engineering (RISE)
