这一领导力奖将支持PI为杜兰大学科学和工程专业的女性和少数族裔教员提供晋升课程的目标。该大学坚定地致力于提高女教员的地位，这体现在《战略计划》、最近成立的总统多样性和公平问题工作队以及工作队最近进行的一项公平环境调查中。此外，华德士教授在为健康科学中心的科学和医学女性教员开发类似项目方面拥有丰富的经验。这一奖项将支持沃尔特斯教授为代表不足的教职员工提供指导/网络和职业发展计划，为“住宅区”校园的科学和工程专业的女性和少数族裔教师提供指导/网络和职业发展计划，并为她的研究项目提供研究生助理。指导/网络计划将包括参与一对一指导的机会、在几个教员级别的网络会议、研讨会机会和教师发展会议。将通过建立一个女教员名单来促进交流。一年两次的时事通讯将在全校分发，重点介绍目标女性教职员工的成就。有限数量的旅行和成就奖将进一步提高目标学院的地位/认可度。总而言之，这一NSF高级领导力奖将允许PI提供旨在改善杜兰大学理工系教师多样性的课程，通过赋予目标教师最好地驾驭系统并成功地在教师和行政级别中晋升的活动来改善教师的多样性。
