Texas Tech University (TTU) and Texas Tech Health Science Center (HSC) have partnered to advance the status of women faculty in engineering, science, medicine and research by addressing specific problems identified by task force studies and administrators at both institutions with "best practices" from proven ADVANCE- supported programs. These programs are being implemented in the eight departments in the College of Engineering (COE), four science departments in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), two departments in the School of Pharmacy (SOP), and four departments in the School of Medicine (SOM).These programs include a comprehensive recruitment plan, two mentoring programs, the third-year review, and an improved exit interview process. The mentoring programs are important because they enable the small number of experienced women to reach more junior women across the 74,000 sq miles of the TTU system. The recruitment program will train search committees on the value and effective approaches to a robust search process that results in a pool of highly qualified men and women in the final candidate pool. The third-year review will lead to better preparedness on the part of the faculty candidate for tenure and promotion; and the exit interviews will uncover gender-related factors that contribute to faculty leaving the university. All the ADVANCE programs adapted for use at TTU and HSC will be evaluated using both qualitative and quantitative methods throughout the award period, thus revisions of the programs can be made pro-actively. Further, an advisory board with internal and external members, a concept adopted from University of Texas at El-Paso's ADVANCE project, is being used to provide timely and continuous guidance throughout the project period.The intellectual merit of this project lies in creating an integrated and comprehensive approach to improving the numbers of women faculty in engineering, science, medicine, and research at TTU and HSC to uncover the root causes relevant to recruitment and retention.The broader impacts of this project include advances in understanding effective recruitment and retention practices to help create the next generation of leaders in science and engineering.

德克萨斯理工大学（TTU）和德克萨斯理工大学健康科学中心（HSC）合作，通过解决两个机构的工作队研究和管理人员确定的具体问题，以提高女性教师在工程，科学，医学和研究方面的地位，并从经过验证的ADVANCE支持的项目中获得“最佳实践”。这些计划正在工程学院（COE）的八个系，艺术与科学学院（CAS）的四个科学系，药学院（SOP）的两个系和医学院（SOM）的四个系中实施。这些计划包括全面的招聘计划，两个辅导计划，第三年审查和改进的离职面试流程。辅导方案很重要，因为它们使少数有经验的妇女能够在TTU系统的74,000平方英里范围内接触到更多的初级妇女。招聘方案将对招聘委员会进行培训，使其了解强有力的招聘过程的价值和有效方法，从而在最终的候选人库中产生一批高素质的男女人才。第三年的审查将使教员候选人为终身职位和晋升做好更好的准备;离职面谈将揭示促使教员离开大学的与性别有关的因素。在整个授予期间，将使用定性和定量方法对所有适用于TTU和HSC的ADVANCE程序进行评估，从而可以积极主动地对程序进行修订。此外，采用得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的ADVANCE项目的概念，设立了一个由内部和外部成员组成的咨询委员会，在整个项目期间提供及时和持续的指导，该项目的智力价值在于创造一种综合和全面的办法，以增加工程、科学、医学、在TTU和HSC进行研究，以揭示与招聘和保留相关的根本原因。该项目的更广泛影响包括了解有效招聘和保留实践的进展，以帮助培养下一代科学和工程领导者。
