The Towson University (TU) IT-Start program will collect historical and baseline information needed to develop a strategy to proceed with institutional transformation related to women faculty in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The overall goal will be to identify roadblocks for female faculty members and major issues involved in their recruitment, retention, and advancement. It is anticipated that the problem will show itself to be some combination of small obstacles related to institutional, career, and family issues and that these issues may differ across important individual and family characteristics. Intellectual Merit: Before an institutional transformation program targeting women faculty in STEM disciplines can be initiated, data must be collected and analyzed, the campus climate determined, and a review of current institutional policies and practices must be performed. The data collected will serve to inform policies and practices affecting the recruitment, selection, retention, scholarship, tenure, promotion and advancement to university leadership positions of female and minority faculty at TU. Data collection will include indicators such as salaries, faculty recruitment and retention, faculty applicant pools, tenure and promotion outcomes; identification of policies and resources for recruitment, review of institutional policies regarding promotion, tenure, and work and life issues, and a climate survey to determine the institution?s current environment. The long term goal is to develop a data driven approach to addressing factors that result in the under-representation of women and minorities at all faculty and administrative levels. The PI and Co-PIs combine expertise and experience of faculty from both the Fisher College of Science and Mathematics (FCSM) and the College of Liberal Arts (CLA). The addition of CLA faculty allows us to utilize a social science approach in the development of surveys and interview strategies to establish a baseline of data to create a strategic plan for institutional transformation. Broader Impacts: The broader impacts of the project will inform TU policies and practices involved in the recruitment, retention and advancement of women and minority faculty in FCSM. In addition, graduate students from the CLA M.S. program in Women?s Studies and Psychology will be trained in qualitative interview techniques and will participate in data collection. The analyzed data will be combined with input from site visits to local recipients of ADVANCE IT grants to develop an appropriate institutional transformation plan for TU. Dissemination will include workshop presentations to TU administrators and faculty, networking at annual ADVANCE grants meetings, integration of data into a ?Women, Gender and Science? course (team-taught by PI and Co-PI Galupo). Ultimately, the development of an institutional transformation plan will increase the number of women and minority faculty that are successful in attaining full professor status and increase the pool of potential applicants who may be considered for administrative leadership roles.

陶森大学（TU）IT启动计划将收集制定战略所需的历史和基线信息，以继续进行与科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的女性教师有关的机构转型。总体目标将是确定女教师的障碍和涉及其招聘，保留和晋升的主要问题。据估计，这个问题将显示自己是一些小的障碍有关的体制，职业和家庭问题的组合，这些问题可能会有所不同，在重要的个人和家庭特征。智力优势：在启动针对STEM学科女教师的机构转型计划之前，必须收集和分析数据，确定校园氛围，并对当前的机构政策和做法进行审查。收集的数据将用于通知政策和做法影响招聘，选拔，保留，奖学金，任期，晋升和晋升到大学领导职位的女性和少数民族教师在TU。数据收集将包括工资，教师招聘和保留，教师申请人池，任期和晋升结果等指标;招聘政策和资源的确定，有关晋升，任期，工作和生活问题的机构政策审查，以及气候调查，以确定机构？目前的环境。长期目标是制定一种数据驱动的方法，以解决导致妇女和少数民族在所有教师和行政级别代表性不足的因素。PI和Co-PI结合了联合收割机的专业知识和教师的经验，从科学和数学（FCSM）和文学艺术（CLA）学院的费舍尔学院。CLA教师的加入使我们能够利用社会科学的方法在调查和采访策略的发展，建立数据的基线，以创建机构转型的战略计划。更广泛的影响：该项目的更广泛的影响将通知TU的政策和做法参与FCSM的妇女和少数民族教师的招聘，保留和晋升。 此外，CLA M.S.的研究生计划在妇女？的研究和心理学将接受定性访谈技术的培训，并将参与数据收集。分析的数据将与现场访问的输入相结合，以先进的IT赠款的当地收件人，以制定一个适当的机构转型计划TU。 传播将包括研讨会介绍给TU管理人员和教师，在年度先进赠款会议网络，数据集成到一个？女性、性别与科学课程（由PI和Co-PI Galupo团队授课）。最终，制定机构转型计划将增加成功获得正教授地位的妇女和少数民族教师的人数，并增加可能被考虑担任行政领导职务的潜在申请人的人数。
