1. The AGEP Program has led to Dramatic Increases in the Annual Number of URMs Receiving STEM PhDs from 2000/01 to 2007/08 Prepared by Yolanda S. George and Shirley M. Malcom, PhD AAAS Patricia B. Campbell, PhD, Tom Kibler, and Jennifer L. Weisman, PhD, Campbell-Kibler Associates, Inc. March 2009

2. About Data Collection and Analysis of the Average Annual Number of STEM PhDs Awarded to URMs at AGEP Institutions (2000/01 to 2007/08) A. Data in the AGEP PhD Info Brief report was collected up to February 2009 B. To reduce the volatility of the annual data, the data were grouped into three categories, and the average annual number was calculated for each of the three categories. Early AGEP Years (2000/01 to 2002/03); Mid-AGEP Years (2003/04 to 2005/06); and Current AGEP Years (2006/07 to 2007/08).

3. C. Also, data were collected and analyzed by race/ethnicity, gender, and citizenship for the following fields: (a) Biological & Agricultural Sciences (b) Chemistry (c) Computer Engineering (d) Computer Sciences (e) Earth, Atmospheric, and Ocean Sciences (including Geosciences, Environmental Sciences) (f) Economics (g) Engineering (including Electrical Engineering; excluding Computer Engineering) (h) Interdisciplinary Sciences (i) Mathematics (including Mathematical Statistics) (j) Other Physical Sciences (including Astronomy, Physics) (k) Other Social Sciences (l) Political Science (m) Psychology (excluding Clinical Psychology) (n) Sociology

4. AGEP Data Submission Overview: 2000-2008 72 institutions submitted some data. 59 submitted data on New Enrollees from 2000-2008, including 45 who submitted data on new PhD enrollees. 65 submitted data on All Enrollees from 2000-2008, including 45 who submitted data on PhD enrollees. 66 submitted data on PhD Recipients from 2000-2008. 23 submitted data on Advance to Candidacy from 2000-2008. 10 submitted data on post PhD plans of under-represented PhD recipients from 2000-2008. NOTE: Updated/corrected data are included in any analysis done after their submission. This means there may be minor changes in results when new analysis is done.
