The Academic Pipeline Project was created by Drs. Curtis D. Byrd and Rihana S. Mason to provide awareness of pathway programs that support K-12, college and university communities.
This guide illustrates initiatives that prepare individuals for the journey into college to careers in academe and limitless professions. This resource provides an in-depth discussion regarding these pathway programs using the newly created THRIVE Index giving context to compare each program.
The THRIVE Index highlights each program as it supports several levels of the pipeline (i.e. pre-collegiate (K-12), collegiate, graduate, post-doctoral, and/or faculty). Programs & Initiatives should complete the inventory for each one of your programs. Each Academic pathway program will have the opportunity to upload a narrative about each program at the end of the inventory if there are details that are not captured by the inventory questions.
The Interactive GIS Mapping system and the database has been created in partnership and sponsored by the National Science Foundation & Morehouse College HBCU STEM-US Center.
