ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award

该项目的目标是通过改变机构做法、政策、氛围和文化，促进发展一支国家科学和工程学术队伍，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）认识到妇女在科学，工程和数学（SEM）方面的重要贡献，以及仍然抑制妇女充分参与的因素。该大学提议建立机构变革中心（CIC），以设计和实施方案，帮助消除妇女充分参与和提高SEM学科地位的障碍。 这些挑战中有许多发生在部门中，因此改变部门文化将是CIC使命的一部分。 CIC将在校园SEM中关注这些问题：主席和院长的领导力发展部门文化变革政策变革领导力发展过渡时期教师的短期支持计划CIC的工作将服务于所有群体（男性，女性，代表性不足）并改善SEM中每个人的环境。 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，这些合作伙伴正在解决工程和科学领域女性教师代表性低的问题。 将建立一个网络来促进传播，华盛顿大学将与波音公司、惠好公司、CH2M希尔公司和REI公司合作，分享最佳实践。高级方案的总体使命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劳动力中的参与。

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.
