The project GSE/EXT: Improving Climate, Instruction and Community to Recruit and Retain Undergraduate Women is a 12-month, $156,878 dollar award funded by the Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE) program's Extension Services (EXT) track. The primary goal of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of a unified program of change for increasing the recruitment and retention of female undergraduate engineering students by improving the climate, instruction, and community (CIC) at three (3) institutions of higher education. The project team employs a model for creating institutional change that emphasizes training campus faculty and staff about mechanisms for improving CIC and supporting campus teams in the development of a gender diversity action plan for the engineering college This project builds on several current and prior NSF-funded projects (0227749; 0533520; 0646866; 0604468) as well as the current success of the "Assessing University Climate to Improve Retention for Undergraduate Engineering Students" project, a grant funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and referred to by the engineering community as the "Project to Assess Climate in Engineering" (PACE).This team is lead by the Executive Director of the Women in Engineering Programs & Advocates Network, Inc. (WEPAN) in collaboration with investigators from the Stevens Institute of Technology's Center for Innovation in Science and Engineering Education (CIESE) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) Center for Advancing Science and Engineering Capacity. There is a formative and summative project evaluation plan which is being conducted by an external evaluator, Patricia B. Campbell, from Campbell-Kibler Associates, Inc. There is also a dissemination plan which includes sharing the following deliverables: A gender diversity action plan template, training materials for improving CIC, and participant responses to training and action plan development.

GSE/EXT项目：改善气候，教学和社区招聘和留住本科女生是一个为期12个月，156,878美元的奖金由科学和工程性别研究（GSE）计划的推广服务（EXT）轨道资助。该项目的主要目标是通过改善三（3）所高等教育机构的气候、教学和社区（CIC）来证明一个统一的变革方案的可行性，以增加女性本科工程专业学生的招聘和保留。 该项目小组采用了一种模式，以创造制度变革，强调培训校园教师和工作人员的机制，以改善CIC和支持校园团队在制定性别多样性行动计划的工程学院 该项目建立在目前和以前的几个国家科学基金资助的项目之上（0227749; 0533520; 0646866; 0604468）以及目前成功的“评估大学气候，以提高保留本科工程专业学生”项目，由Alfred P. Sloan基金会资助，被工程界称为“工程气候评估项目”（PACE）该小组由妇女参与工程方案&倡导者网络公司执行主任领导。（WEPAN）与史蒂文斯理工学院科学与工程教育创新中心（CIESE）和美国科学促进协会（AAAS）推进科学与工程能力中心的研究人员合作。 有一个形成性和总结性的项目评价计划，由外部评价员Patricia B进行。来自Campbell-Kibler Associates，Inc.的坎贝尔还有一个传播计划，其中包括分享以下可交付成果：性别多样性行动计划模板、改进社区信息和通信的培训材料，以及参与者对培训和行动计划制定的反应。
