The ADVANCE IT-Start proposed project, ?Establishing the Foundation for FutureOrganizational Reform and Transformation @ RIT? (EFFORT@RIT) is a two-year study across RIT?s four Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) colleges. engineering and science at Rochester Institute of Technology. In order to achieve our mission, the goal of our institutional transformation start-up project is to develop an evidence-based approach toaddress factors resulting in the under-representation of women in STEM faculty positions at RIT. Objectives supporting achievement of this goal include: 1) Identify barriers for current women faculty in regards to rank, tenure and leadership role progression, 2) Examine faculty recruitment patterns in terms of gender equity, and 3) Establish how well RIT does in addressing these factors when compared with the competition. Through initiatives currently underway, from the Women in Engineering Program?s tremendous growth to the President?s launching of an Equity Scorecard program, RIT has gathered momentum to position itself for institutional change in regards to gender inclusiveness and equity within faculty ranks. The proposed NSF project will allow RIT to build upon this energy and accelerate the transformation process through careful data driven studies of our current position.Our proposed activities fall into assessment and evaluation general categories using: a) current climate with respect to gender inclusiveness, and b) benchmark data comparing RIT against peer institutions in regards to policies, hiring/retention/promotion patterns. The project team is a blend of dynamic leaders from the four STEM colleges, who share an activeinterest and agenda related to women in STEM. Together, the group creates a strong, well-integrated core with high levels of synergy who will work with the Advisory Board in overseeing all aspects of the EFFORT@RIT project.EFFORT@RIT assessment and evaluation results will be disseminated broadly.Firmly grounded with clear organization, innovative assessment tools, and seasoned leadership, EFFORT@RIT will inform RIT of necessary institutional transformation activities.

ADVANCE IT-Start项目的建议，？为未来的组织改革和转型奠定基础@ RIT？（EFFORT@RIT）是一项为期两年的RIT研究？四个科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学院。在罗切斯特理工学院学习工程和科学。为了实现我们的使命，我们的机构转型启动项目的目标是制定一个基于证据的方法来解决导致妇女在RIT的STEM教师职位代表性不足的因素。支持实现这一目标的目标包括：1）确定目前的女教师在职级，任期和领导角色的进展方面的障碍，2）检查教师招聘模式的性别平等，以及3）建立如何以及RIT在解决这些因素时，与竞争相比。通过目前正在进行的女性工程项目倡议？总统的巨大增长？RIT推出了一个公平记分卡计划，它已经聚集了动力，在教师队伍中的性别包容性和公平方面为制度变革做好准备。NSF的项目建议将使RIT建立在这种能量的基础上，并通过对我们目前的状况进行仔细的数据驱动研究来加速转型过程。我们建议的活动分为评估和评价的一般类别，使用：a）当前的性别包容性气候，以及B）将RIT与同行机构在政策，招聘/保留/晋升模式方面进行比较的基准数据。该项目团队是来自四个STEM学院的充满活力的领导者的混合体，他们分享了与STEM女性相关的积极兴趣和议程。该小组将与咨询委员会一起，共同监督EFFORT@RIT项目的各个方面。EFFORT@RIT评估和评价结果将广泛传播。EFFORT@RIT将以清晰的组织结构、创新的评估工具和经验丰富的领导层为坚实基础，向RIT通报必要的机构转型活动。
