ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award: Advancing Women in Science, Math and Engineering at Marshall

该项目的目标是增强管理人员和女性科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师的强大核心能力，以启动和维持机构气候变化，并改善女性教师的招聘和成功。该计划提供了一个独特的环境，以测试教师管理员合作伙伴关系的重要模式，以在主要的本科院校和西弗吉尼亚州（WV）高等教育系统内实施变革。该计划将通过一种综合方法影响四个马歇尔大学学院的STEM教师，包括：1）招聘和网络倡议，采用积极的战略来增加STEM女教师的数量; 2）教师发展倡议，提供多种方法来帮助新教师平衡和整合教学和研究责任，并促进STEM教师之间的合作; 3）研究增强倡议，以提高教师的研究能力，并提供资源，使各部门能够更好地吸引和留住有才华的女教师;和4）国家和机构政策变化倡议专门侧重于改变大学和国家政策确定为女性干教师在马歇尔的进步的重大障碍。

The goal of this project is to empower a strong core of administrators and female science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty to initiate and maintain institutional climate change, and improve the recruitment and success of female faculty. The Program provides a unique setting in which to test an important model of faculty administrator partnership for implementing change at a primarily undergraduate institution and within the West Virginia (WV) higher education system. The Program will impact STEM faculty in four Marshall University Colleges through an integrated approach comprised of 1) The Recruitment and Networking Initiative to apply aggressive strategies to increase the number of female STEM faculty; 2) The Faculty Development Initiative to provide multiple methods to help new faculty balance and integrate teaching and research responsibilities, and to foster collaboration among STEM faculty; 3) The Research Enhancement Initiative to improve faculty research capabilities, and provide resources that enable departments to better attract and retain talented female faculty; and 4) The State and Institutional Policy Changes Initiative specifically focused on changing university and state policies identified to be significant barriers to the advancement of female STEM faculty at Marshall.
