ADVANCE Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination Award: PAID at Idaho State University

爱达荷州立大学的WeLEAD项目开发和实施干预措施，以增加STEM教员的数量，并促进STEM教员晋升为正教授和领导职位。该计划为新的副教授主办职业发展研讨会，以及年度研究研讨会；促进内部和外部拨款申请；并为STEM教职员工提供参加领导力研讨会的机会。种子基金和旅行基金被授予开发新的研究项目，以及促进合作研究项目、手稿和赠款提案。为了保持职业生涯中期干预的渠道畅通无阻，STEM教师在现场面试时与候选人会面，并在新的教师培训和安排的活动中与他们重新建立联系，从而为STEM教师提供网络机会。这一建议的学术价值包括清楚地了解如何将提升STEM教师的模式有效地应用于一个地理上与世隔绝、经济上处于不利地位的机构。该项目的更广泛影响最大限度地发挥了科学家作为学术领袖的贡献，为爱达荷州有抱负的科学家树立了榜样，并成为不分学科或性别的教师晋升的典范。

The WeLEAD program at Idaho State University develops and implements interventions to increase the number and improve the progression of STEM faculty to full professor and into leadership positions. The program sponsors career development workshops for new associate professors, as well as an annual research symposium; facilitates internal and external grant applications; and provides opportunities for STEM faculty to attend leadership workshops. Seed grants and travel funds are awarded for developing new research programs, and to facilitate collaborative research projects, manuscripts, and grant proposals. To keep the pipeline full for mid-career interventions, networking opportunities are provided with STEM faculty by meeting with candidates at the on-site interview, and reconnect with them at new faculty orientation and scheduled events. The intellectual merits of this proposal include obtaining a clear understanding of how models for promoting STEM faculty can be applied effectively to a geographically isolated and economically disadvantaged institution. The broader impacts of the project maximize the contribution of scientists as academic leaders and role models for aspiring scientists in Idaho, as well as to serve as a model for advancing faculty regardless of discipline or gender.
