The California Consortium for Inclusive Doctoral Education (C-CIDE)
was a pilot partnership of six California research universities (UC-Berkeley, UC-Davis, UC-Irvine, UC-San Diego, UC-Santa Barbara, and USC) which selected at least four PhD programs within each institution that nucleated a scalable, sustainable networked improvement committee focused on building capacity for faculty practices that would reduce inequities in STEM graduate education. Funded by the NSF Innovations in Graduate Education program, C-CIDE developed and refined a multicampus, multidisciplinary model of faculty development, that was aimed at creating a path to institutionalize practices that would more equitably select and serve students from the country’s emerging majority.
