ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award

该项目的目标是通过机构做法、政策、气候和文化的变革，促进国家科学和工程学术队伍的发展，其中包括妇女充分参与各级教职和学术管理，特别是高级学术职级。华盛顿大学(UW)承认女性在科学、工程和数学(SEM)领域做出的重要贡献，以及仍然阻碍女性充分参与的因素。该大学提议设立机构变革中心(CIC)，以设计和实施方案，帮助消除阻碍妇女充分参与和促进机构改革学科发展的障碍。其中许多挑战发生在部门，因此改变部门文化将是CIC使命的一部分。CIC将重点关注校园环境管理中的这些问题：院长和院长的领导力发展文化变化政策变化领导能力发展对转型时期教职员工的短期支持计划CIC的工作将服务于所有群体(男性、女性、代表不足)，并为环境中的每个人改善环境。UW将与其他机构、专业协会和行业合作伙伴分享其经验，这些机构、专业协会和行业合作伙伴正在解决工程和科学领域女性教员代表性较低的问题。将建立一个促进传播的网络，UW将与波音公司、Weyerhaeuser公司、CH2M Hill公司和REI公司合作，分享最佳实践。该项目得到NSF高级计划的支持。高级方案的总体任务是通过增加妇女在学术、科学和工程职业中的代表性和地位，增加妇女在科学和工程工作中的参与度。

The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of a national science and engineering academic workforce that includes the full participation of women in all levels of faculty and academic administration, particularly at the senior academic ranks, through the transformation of institutional practices, policies, climate and culture. The University of Washington (UW) recognizes the important contributions that women make in science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM), and the factors that still inhibit women's full participation. The University proposes to create the Center for Institutional Change (CIC) to design and implement programs to help eliminate obstacles to women's full participation and advancement in the SEM disciplines. Many of these challenges occur in departments, so changing departmental culture will be a part of the CIC mission. The CIC will focus on these issues in SEM on campus:Leadership development for chairs and deans Department cultural changePolicy changeLeadership development Short-term support program for faculty in times of transition The work of the CIC will seve all groups (men, women, underrepresented) and improve the environment for everyone in SEM. UW will share its experiences with other institutions, professional societies, and industrial partners that are addressing the issues of low representation of women faculty in engineering and science. A network will be established to facilitate dissemination, and UW will work with Boeing, Weyerhaeuser, CH2M Hill, and REI to share best practices.This project is supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program. The overall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.
