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 at all levels of faculty and academic leadership, particularly at the senior academic ranks, through the transformation of institutional practices, policies, climate, and culture. Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) proposes a multifaceted project called Academic Careers in Engineering and Science (ACES) to increase the number of women faculty in science and engineering at all academic ranks. The ACES project will operate on 3 levels: (1) At the highest levels of leadership of the University, including the President, Provost, and Deputy Provost. This leadership is committed to fundraising for 5 endowed chairs to attract senior women scientists and engineers and to annual evaluation of deans' progress toward transformational change. (2) At the school and departmental level with intensive coaching, mentoring, networking, and training and development of deans, chairs, faculty, and students in 4 test departments in Phase 1, and extension of the best practices to all science and engineering departments in Phase 2. (3) At the campus-wide level with distinguished lectureships for senior women in science and engineering, mentoring opportunities, a spousal hiring network, and a unique minority pipeline initiative including faculty exchanges with Fisk University and summer research internships.The outcome of the proposed institutional transformation will be increased transparency and accountability as well as more equitable practices, procedures, and structures. Throughout the ACES project, CWRU will self-study, evaluate, and disseminate the findings so that other private institutions can benefit from their work, building on a resource equity study begun two years ago. Case Western Reserve University is at a pivotal time in its history, and is poised to make transformational change at every level of the university.

该项目的目标是通过机构做法、政策、气候和文化的转变，促进国家科学和工程学术工作队伍的发展，其中包括妇女充分参与各级教师和学术领导，特别是高级学术职位。 凯斯西储大学（CWRU）提出了一个多方面的项目，称为工程和科学学术职业（ACES），以增加所有学术级别的科学和工程女教师的数量。 ACES项目将在3个层面上运作：（1）在大学的最高领导层，包括校长，教务长和副教务长。 该领导层致力于为5个捐赠的椅子筹款，以吸引高级女科学家和工程师，并对院长在转型变革方面的进展进行年度评估。 (2)在学校和部门一级，在第一阶段对4个测试部门的院长、主席、教师和学生进行密集的辅导、指导、联网、培训和发展，并在第二阶段将最佳实践推广到所有科学和工程部门。 (3)在整个校园范围内，为科学和工程领域的高级女性提供杰出的讲师职位，提供辅导机会，建立配偶招聘网络，以及一个独特的少数族裔管道计划，包括与菲斯克大学的教师交流和夏季研究实习。拟议的机构改革的结果将是增加透明度和问责制，以及更公平的做法，程序和结构。 在整个ACES项目中，CWRU将自我研究，评估和传播研究结果，以便其他私人机构可以从他们的工作中受益，建立在两年前开始的资源公平研究的基础上。 凯斯西储大学正处于其历史上的关键时刻，并准备在大学的各个层面进行转型变革。
