ADVANCE Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination Award: Collaborative Research for Horizontal Mentoring Alliances

拟议的项目是一种创新的方法，以促进文科院校的高级女性化学教员晋升到最高学术领导级别。该项目将通过一种有效的同行指导战略提高参与教师的领导力、知名度和认可度，包括建立文科院校高级女性化学教员的五人横向指导联盟，以参与专注于职业和领导力发展的讨论和研讨会。联盟的网络联网将加强同行支持结构，并促进联盟的可持续性。四名联合首席研究员的伙伴关系将促进项目管理。拟议的横向指导联盟将直接影响不同文科院校20名高级女教员的职业发展。最终，每一位教员所取得的职业发展将给女学生灌输对她们在STEM领域未来职业成功的信心，并为初级女教员提供榜样，以塑造她们自己的职业生涯。通过网络将网络扩展到参与机构的科学、技术和经济管理学科的高级女教员，将形成一批人，作为体制变革的领导者。该项目将通过每个联盟产生的职业发展资源，以及将在首脑会议闭幕式上提出的关于这种同行指导方法的一套建议，为提高妇女在科学和工程领域学术职业发展的做法的国家知识库作出贡献。

The proposed project is an innovative approach to facilitate the advancement of senior women chemistry faculty members at liberal arts institutions to the highest ranks of academic leadership. This project will enhance the leadership, visibility, and recognition of participating faculty members with an effective peer mentoring strategy involving the establishment of five-member horizontal mentoring alliances of senior women chemistry faculty members at liberal arts institutions to engage in discussions and workshops focused on career and leadership development. Cyber-enabled networking of the alliances will augment the peer-support structure and facilitate the sustainability of the alliances. The partnership of four co-principal investigators will facilitate project management.The proposed horizontal mentoring alliances will directly impact the career development of twenty senior women faculty members at different liberal arts institutions. Ultimately, the career advancement achieved by each faculty member will instill confidence in female students of their future career success in STEM fields and provide paradigms for junior female faculty members to model their own careers. The cyber-facilitated expansion of the network to senior women faculty members in STEM disciplines at the participating institutions will develop a cohort to serve as leaders of institutional change. The project will contribute to the national knowledge base on practices that can enhance the academic career advancement of women in science and engineering through the career development resources generated by each alliance and from a set of recommendations on this peer mentoring approach that will be developed at a concludingsummit meeting.
