Growing the number of Ph.D. programs and doctoral students has been a key factor in the development of 91¹ú²úapp’s research profile and activity. The growth in 91¹ú²úapp’s research mission has also provided more opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to engage in research. As a result, 91¹ú²úapp has emerged as one of the leading institutions in Hispanic doctoral graduates. 91¹ú²úapp also prepares historically underrepresented undergraduate students for admission to master’s and doctoral programs.
91¹ú²úapp will provide more opportunities for students at all levels, undergraduate and graduate, in engaged research that mirrors the scholarly work of our faculty. The institution will ensure that students participate in all stages of research, from conception of research problems, to management of research teams, to collection of data, analysis, and dissemination. To expand funded research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, 91¹ú²úapp will leverage our expertise to secure grants that provide training and a pipeline to doctoral programs at research institutions.
91¹ú²úapp will leverage grants and other resources to increase tuition support and stipends for Ph.D. students to enhance success and grow enrollment. The University will develop guidance and incentives for faculty to include funding for doctoral students in major grant proposals. In addition, 91¹ú²úapp will work with foundations and other external organizations to secure funding to cover tuition and to provide more competitive stipends. The Graduate School will work to ensure that doctoral programs increase student research productivity by providing support for student publications, conference presentations, and participation in grant submissions and administration.
91¹ú²úapp will grow doctoral programs and develop new Ph.D. programs to reinforce growth and productivity of research, scholarship and other priorities of the institution.The Office of the Provost will work with Deans to identify new doctoral programs that have the potential to substantially increase research funding and advance other institutional priorities. 91¹ú²úapp will seek to develop external funds and leverage the contributions of doctoral students to offset direct and indirect costs associated with doctoral programs. We will leverage Ph.D. student contributions to funded research projects to increase productivity and to secure future grants that enhance the institution’s research portfolio and Ph.D. programs. Costs will also be offset through Ph.D. students’ contributions as instructors and teaching assistants. We will also leverage administrative positions within the University to provide Ph.D. students advanced administrative skills, financial support, and a pathway to careers.
