Pathways University of Arizona
Fri, May 5, 2:30 to 4:00pm CDT (2:30 to 4:00pm CDT), Division J Virtual Sessions, Division J - Postsecondary Education Virtual Session RoomAbstract
The University of Arizona. The Access, Wellness, and Relational Determinants of School Success (AWARDSS) training program at the University of Arizona focuses exclusively on education research training and admits recent graduates and masters students. As part of the year-long training program, fellows receive training in education research (with a focus on examining individual and societal contributions to student success), conduct research with faculty mentors, develop their writing skills, and receive assistance in applying to doctoral programs.
AWARDSS fellows begin their year-long training in the spring with a semester-long writing course and an online course on education research methods. Fellows then participate in the UROC-PREP summer research institute that includes a research apprenticeship with faculty mentors, continues research and writing training, and GRE preparation. During the fall semester, AWARDSS fellows continue their research apprenticeships with their faculty mentors.
For participation in the training program, each fellow received a stipend, housing and a meal plan for the summer research institute, and a small travel allowance.
A primary purpose of all Pathways training programs is to help increase diversity in the Education Sciences. AWARDSS represents a partnership between two institutions within the University of Arizona System, one of which is a Hispanic serving institution (HSI) that also has a large Native American undergraduate student population. In addition, as a UROC-PREP program, AWARDSS receives dedicated support for recruitment of students who are underrepresented in doctoral study. Participating faculty represent a variety of disciplines within psychology, education and special education. (https://ies.ed.gov/ncer/projects/grant.asp?ProgID=95&year=2016&grantid=1805 )
