The goal of the Institutional Transformation Award Program at Brown University is to increase the level of opportunity for faculty and implement mechanisms to protect and nurture faculty success. The program will provide transparent formal programs to provide the ingredients for success often available informally, to guarantee access for women faculty. This will ensure that once recruited women faculty will have a working environment that will allow them to achieve their full potential and ultimately assume positions of power. The ADVANCE program at Brown will include 1) a leadership program for women science faculty that will help them to develop peer networks and assume leadership positions, 2) a faculty development program for all faculty part of which will be a mentoring program designed to create a cadre of faculty informed about gender equity issues, 3) a department chair training program aimed at improving departmental climate and making departmental policies fair and transparent, and 4) a visiting scholar program that will bring experts to Brown to design model programs for the above. Broader Impacts: One of the goals of the program is to demonstrate that providing access to formal transparent faculty development programs ameliorates the problems of hidden bias and evens the playing field between male and female faculty. The program is expected to have the following specific outcomes: 1) reduce faculty attrition, including attrition of women and minority faculty; 2) increase the number of women promoted to full professor; 3) decrease the time in rank of associate professors; 4) increase the number of women rising to leadership positions in either academic administration or areas of scholarly leadership; 5) prevent mid-career burnout by encouraging collaborative projects and brokering opportunities for science faculty to become involved in such projects; 6) increase the amount of funded research by alerting faculty to potential opportunities. All of these potential outcomes will provide a return on investment for academic institutions. Scientific Merit: Collecting indicator data for the proposed program and disseminating it to the community will represent a significant contribution to understanding the barriers that inhibit the advancement of women scientists.The goal of the ADVANCE program 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.

布朗大学机构转型奖计划的目标是增加教师的机会水平，并实施保护和培养教师成功的机制。 该方案将提供透明的正式方案，以提供通常可以通过非正式途径获得的成功要素，保证女教员获得这些要素。这将确保女教师一旦被聘用，将有一个工作环境，使她们能够充分发挥潜力，并最终担任有权力的职位。 布朗大学的ADVANCE计划将包括：1）一个针对女性科学教师的领导力计划，帮助她们发展同行网络并担任领导职务，2）一个针对所有教师的教师发展计划，其中一部分将是一个指导计划，旨在培养一支了解性别平等问题的教师队伍，3）系主任培训计划，旨在改善系气氛，使系政策公平透明，4）一个访问学者项目，将专家带到布朗大学，为上述项目设计示范项目。 更广泛的影响：该计划的目标之一是证明，提供正式透明的教师发展计划，改善了隐藏的偏见问题，甚至男女教师之间的竞争环境。 该计划预计将产生以下具体成果：1）减少教师流失，包括妇女和少数民族教师的流失; 2）增加晋升为正教授的妇女人数; 3）减少副教授的时间; 4）增加在学术管理或学术领导领域担任领导职务的妇女人数; 5）通过鼓励合作项目和为科学教师提供参与这些项目的机会来防止职业生涯中期的倦怠; 6）通过提醒教师注意潜在的机会来增加资助研究的数量。 所有这些潜在的结果都将为学术机构提供投资回报。科学价值：为拟议的计划收集指标数据并将其传播给社区将对了解阻碍女科学家进步的障碍做出重大贡献。ADVANCE计划的目标是促进国家科学和工程学术工作者队伍的发展，包括妇女充分参与各级教师和学术/管理，特别是在高级学术级别，通过机构做法、政策、气候和文化的转变。
