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，促进国家科学和工程学术工作队伍的发展，包括妇女充分参与各级院系和学术管理，特别是高级学术职位。 有了这个奖项，亨特学院将设计和实施一项计划，以改善影响自然科学和社会科学领域女性的招聘，保留，晋升，工资和专业发展的机构实践和文化。 作为美国最大的公立城市大学的一部分，亨特学院将成为其他城市大学和城市公立大学的典范。目标包括：（a）制定、测试和推广各种措施，以确定、衡量和报告隐蔽的和微妙的以及可见的和明显的性别平等指标;（B）纠正不利于提高女科学家地位的非故意的体制做法; c）通过讲习班和培训手册，对管理人员和其他评估人员进行教育，在评价和认可科学家的贡献时，存在着不经意的性别偏见; d）通过赞助方案制定干预措施，以促进初级和中级女科学家的发展。ADVANCE计划的总体使命是通过提高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 developmentof a national science and engineering academic workforce thatincludes the full participation of women in all levels of facultyand academic administration, particularly at the senior academicranks, through the transformation of institutional practices,policies, climate and culture. With this award, Hunter College will design and implement a program to improve the institutional practices and culturethat affect the hiring, retention, promotion, salary, andprofessional development of women in the natural and socialsciences. As part of the largest public urban university in thenation, Hunter College will be a model for the other CUNYcolleges and for urban public universities generally. Goals include: a) to develop,test, and disseminate measures for identifying, measuring, andreporting hidden and subtle, as well as visible and obvious,indicators of gender equity; b) to correct unintended institutionalpractices that work against the advancement of women scientists;c) to educate administrators and other evaluators, via workshops andtraining manuals, about inadvertent gender biases in evaluatingand recognizing scientists' contributions and about strategiesfor equalizing men's and women's ability to advance; d) to developinterventions to advance junior and mid-level women scientistsvia a sponsorship program.This project is supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program. Theoverall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase theparticipation of women in the scientific and engineeringworkforce through the increased representation and advancement ofwomen in academic science and engineering careers.
