ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award

该项目的目标是通过机构实践、政策、气候和文化的转变，促进国家科学和工程学术劳动力的发展，其中包括妇女充分参与各级教师和学术管理，特别是高级学术职位。华盛顿大学（UW）认识到女性在科学、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。哈佛大学提议创建制度变革中心（CIC），设计和实施项目，帮助消除妇女充分参与和发展经济管理学科的障碍。许多这些挑战都发生在部门内，因此改变部门文化将是CIC使命的一部分。学院文化变革政策变革领导力发展转型时期教师短期支持计划学院的工作将服务于所有群体（男性、女性、弱势群体），并为学院的每个人改善环境。华盛顿大学将与其他机构、专业协会和工业合作伙伴分享其经验，以解决工程和科学领域女性教师比例低的问题。将建立一个促进传播的网络，威斯康星大学将与波音公司、惠好公司、CH2M Hill和REI合作，分享最佳实践。本项目由美国国家科学基金会ADVANCE计划资助。ADVANCE计划的总体任务是通过增加女性在学术科学和工程职业中的代表性和进步来增加女性在科学和工程劳动力中的参与度。

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.
