Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate Predominately Undergraduate Institutions (AGEP-PUI)

The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP), funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is a collaboration between Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University (lead Institution), Farmingdale State College, and Suffolk County Community College. Partners in the AGEP Predominately Undergraduate Institutions (PUI) Alliance work toward developing, implementing, studying, institutionalizing, evaluating and disseminating a model for training and supporting for underrepresented STEM doctoral dissertators interested in faculty careers.
Program participants may follow one of two paths as AGEP PUI scholars:
