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

拟议的项目是一个创新的办法，以促进文科院校高级女化学教员晋升到最高级别的学术领导。 该项目将通过一项有效的同行指导战略，包括在文科院校建立五人横向指导联盟，由高级女化学教师组成，参加以职业和领导力发展为重点的讨论和讲习班，提高参与该项目的教师的领导力、知名度和认可度。联盟的网络化联网将扩大同行支助结构，促进联盟的可持续性。四名共同主要调查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，每个教师实现的职业发展将灌输在女学生的信心，他们未来的职业成功在干领域，并为初级女教师提供范例，以塑造自己的职业生涯。通过网络将该网络扩展到参与机构STEM学科的高级女教师，这将培养一批作为机构变革领导者的人。该项目将通过每个联盟产生的职业发展资源以及将在最后一次首脑会议上制定的关于这种同侪指导方法的一套建议，为国家知识库做出贡献，这些做法可以提高科学和工程领域妇女的学术职业地位。

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.
