The ESCALATE program, in collaboration with the NSF-sponsored ADVANCE program at the University of Michigan, advances on two fronts, career development and climate change, by developing and implementing nine strategies to improve the advancement of women in academic science and engineering at Wayne State University. This project focuses on broad-based institutional change in sciences and engineering, departmental change in two engineering programs and career development activities for women faculty in sciences and engineering.Infusing Institutional Climate Change: A Resource Team is formed from applicants interested in learning more about women's circumstances and strategies for institutional change, as well as willing to work for change in the campus community. The UM Theater Group will present interactive workshops to campus leaders that teach about equity in hiring and tenure processes, and about mentoring. WSU initiates and participates in a Joint Urban Presence intended to develop strategies for sharing skills known to be effective in working with urban students.Departmental Transformation: Two engineering departments will engage in self-study and develop strategies for increasing women's numbers and advancement.An Annual Women's Career Symposium is held where women faculty, advanced graduate students, and post-docs in the sciences and engineering meet to learn about practical solutions to everyday dilemmas, to network with others, and to guide the research team's efforts. Monthly Career Network Meetings focused on specific issues or disciplines will allow opportunities for women from UM and WSU to network. A Web Resource for Career Advancement will be developed that allows on-line networking of women faculty. Career Development Grants for women faculty in sciences and engineering provides funds to overcome barriers to career advancement, such as travel to funding agencies, childcare at conferences, and for speakers to come to the campus. Wider Horizons allows inviting women faculty and others from area colleges and universities to career network meetings, which will spread the networks of women. Intellectual Merit: Built on a broad base of scholarship, the proposed activities remedy two central concerns: 1) that women become isolated from networks needed for success as scientists and engineers; and 2) that cultures of academic science and engineering are not aware of their impact on women and need transformation to take women's needs, interests, and desires into account. By explicitly teaching women about the range of experiences that other women report, developing strategies responsive to emerging dilemmas, and connecting women to networks where they can find support for being women and for being better scientists and engineers, the project improves women's social capital. Also, infusing change at the institutional level in hiring, evaluation, and tenure processes enhances women's chances of being hired, retained, and making lasting contributions to science and engineering.Broader Impacts: The WSU efforts explicitly infuse information about women's circumstances into science and engineering academic settings, which integrates research and education. Through networking efforts, institutional change initiatives, and the Joint Urban Presence, this project takes seriously NSF's call for diversifying the academic science and engineering workforce. Innovative dissemination strategies and an interdisciplinary approach improve the applicability of findings to a wide range of academic communities.

Escalate计划与密歇根大学NSF赞助的高级计划合作，通过制定和实施九项战略，在职业发展和气候变化两个方面取得进展，以提高韦恩州立大学女性在学术科学和工程领域的进步。该项目侧重于科学和工程领域的广泛制度变革，两个工程项目的部门变革，以及科学和工程领域女性教员的职业发展活动。注入制度气候变化：一个资源团队由申请者组成，他们有兴趣更多地了解女性的情况和制度变革的战略，并愿意为校园社区的变革而努力。密歇根州立大学剧院组将向校园领导人举办互动研讨会，教授招聘和终身教职过程中的公平，以及指导。威斯康星州立大学发起并参与了一项城市联合活动，旨在制定与城市学生分享已知的有效工作技能的策略。部门转型：两个工程学系将从事自学，并制定增加女性人数和进步的策略。一年一度的女性职业研讨会在科学和工程领域的女教员、高级研究生和博士后举行，以了解日常困境的实际解决方案，与他人建立网络，并指导研究团队的努力。每月召开职业网络会议，重点讨论具体问题或学科，为密歇根大学和密歇根州立大学的妇女提供建立网络的机会。将开发一个促进职业发展的网络资源，使女教员能够在线联网。科学和工程专业女教师职业发展补助金提供资金，以克服职业发展障碍，例如前往资助机构旅行，在会议上照顾孩子，以及让演讲者来到校园。Wide Horizons允许邀请地区学院和大学的女性教职员工和其他人参加职业关系网会议，这将扩大女性关系网。知识价值：拟议的活动建立在广泛的学术基础上，解决了两个核心问题：1)女性与成功的科学家和工程师所需的网络隔绝；2)学术科学和工程文化没有意识到它们对女性的影响，需要进行变革，以考虑到女性的需求、兴趣和愿望。通过明确地向妇女传授其他妇女报告的一系列经验，制定应对新出现的困境的战略，并将妇女与网络联系起来，在那里她们可以找到支持成为妇女和成为更好的科学家和工程师的支持，该项目提高了妇女的社会资本。此外，在招聘、评估和终身教职过程中注入机构层面的变化，会增加女性被聘用、留住并对科学和工程做出持久贡献的机会。广泛的影响：WSU的努力明确地将有关女性情况的信息注入科学和工程学术环境，这是研究和教育的结合。通过网络努力、机构改革倡议和联合城市存在，该项目认真对待NSF关于学术科学和工程劳动力多样化的呼吁。创新的传播战略和跨学科的方法提高了研究成果在广泛的学术界的适用性。
