NSF AGEP Project ELEVATE

The Project ELEVATE initiative (Equity-focused Launch to Empower and Value AGEP Faculty to Thrive in Engineering) represents a partnership between Carnegie Mellon University, Johns Hopkins University, and New York University. This collaborative effort is supported by the National Science Foundation Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program. Project ELEVATE aims to facilitate the fair progression of early career tenure-stream engineering faculty members belonging to racially and ethnically underrepresented groups in STEM. Additionally, it seeks to establish a framework for institutional transformation within private, highly selective research institutions, fostering an environment where all faculty can actively participate in a collaborative community.

Project ELEVATE Training Series

The NSF ELEVATE Training Series is designed to empower participants with the latest insights and knowledge in inclusive communication, teaching, and mentoring.

NYU ECOSYSTEM HUB | NSF ADVANCE

The NYU Ecosystem Hub is an Ideas Foundry designed to cross boundaries between the sciences and humanities and create a fertile ground to spark equity, creativity, and innovative thinking.

From faculty STEM leadership workshops to inspiring keynote speakers, the center promotes well-being, empathetic leadership, and diversity for a more equal and human-centered STEM community within NYU and beyond.

The Hub hosts interdisciplinary events, facilitates networking and collaborations, fosters leadership development, implements new policies in academia, and provides mentoring for STEM faculty across NYU Tandon School of Engineering and NYU Arts & Science.

The NYU Ecosystem Hub is funded by the National Science Foundation’s ADVANCE program and the NYU Provost Office.
