ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award: Purdue Center for Faculty Success

普渡大学教师成功中心（PCFS）将提供有针对性的研究、项目和大学层面的协调，以增加少数族裔女性在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教职岗位上的数量；提高所有女性STEM教师的成功；让所有教员都参与到学校的改革中来。PCFS将结合美国国家科学基金会和机构的支持，对普渡大学环境中特定理论模型的适用性进行研究，根据这些理论模型制定计划，重点关注我们当前倡议组合中的差距，并对计划影响提供形成性评估和全面评估。大学领导人和政策制定者，包括普渡大学校长和ADVANCE PI France Córdova，将把PCFS的结果作为令人信服的证据，以维持和推进机构转型，并实施将影响普渡大学STEM社区及其他领域的政策。我们的愿景是通过一个高度可见的基础设施来加速制度转型，该基础设施为以下举措提供创新的校园范围内的协调与合作：一个创新的、享有声望的校长ADVANCE Advocate职位，专注于增加STEM教师候选人的多样性；加强普渡大学民族文化中心在教师支持方面的作用；采用ADVANCE的最佳实践STRIDE和WISELI“培训培训师”研讨会；指导初级教师队伍进行研究和职业发展；为副教授和正教授提供领导力指导；改造整个教员，包括大多数教员；开发多样性论坛工具包；并发起多元化催化剂和领导者研讨会。知识的优点。制度人种学是一种重要的方法，可以用来理解边缘化参与者的经历，并提供了一种新的方法来丰富STEM女性教师的ADVANCE研究，特别是代表性不足的少数族裔女性。PCFS的努力不仅将促进对管道和寒冷气候模型适用性的理解，这些模型是许多“女性参与科学”倡议的基础，而且将通过机构人种学探索拟议的新模型的适用性，这些模型整合了“边界”隐喻方法，以探索女性代表性不足的问题。因此，PCFS研究将产生新的知识和推进理论框架，这将是全国理论家和推进项目感兴趣的。普渡大学ADVANCE倡导者和文化中心旨在加强少数族裔女性STEM教师招聘的努力将被评估，以获得加强少数族裔教师招聘的新见解。更广泛的影响。更好地了解普渡大学女性STEM教师的职业道路，结合对新项目有效性的评估，将产生一套经过严格测试、明确表达的项目，其他机构可以将其适应自己的校园。PCFS在招募少数族裔女性STEM教师方面的创新努力将有助于解决特别持久的国家STEM挑战，PCFS的其他举措将增加女性在STEM教师队伍和领导岗位上的参与。这将对普渡大学的STEM本科和研究生女性产生直接的积极影响，她们可能会考虑在学术界从事潜在的职业，也可能对所有对科学和工程职业感兴趣的人产生积极影响。PCFS包括研究生和博士后水平的研究团队学生以及所有项目倡议的初级教师，因此将支持和鼓励早期职业发展。通过与我们的民族文化中心的新颖合作伙伴关系，PCFS将扩大参与校园招聘和支持来自代表性不足的群体的教师。PCFS对全体教员（包括大多数教员）的改造将提供新的方法，以维持对教员成功的机构支持。除了在主要期刊上发表论文并在国内和国际研究会议上发表演讲外，普渡大学还将为多样性论坛传播pcfs开发的工具包，并将主办一次全国会议，重点讨论ADVANCE理论框架作为制度变革的驱动力。

The Purdue Center for Faculty Success (PCFS) will provide targeted research, programs and University-level coordination to increase the number of minority women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty positions; improve the success of all women STEM faculty; and engage all faculty in transforming the institution. The PCFS will combine NSF and institutional support to undertake research on the applicability of specific theoretical models in the Purdue environment, develop programs informed by these theoretical models and that focus on gaps in our current portfolio of initiatives, and provide formative assessment and comprehensive evaluation of programmatic impacts. University leaders and policymakers, including Purdue President and ADVANCE PI France Córdova, will use PCFS results as compelling evidence to sustain and advance institutional transformation and implement policy that will impact the Purdue STEM community and beyond. Our vision is to accelerate institutional transformation through a highly visible infrastructure that offers innovative campus-wide coordination and collaboration for initiatives such as: an innovative and prestigious Presidential ADVANCE Advocate position focused on increasing the diversity of the pool of STEM faculty candidates; enhancing the role of Purdue's ethnic cultural centers in faculty support; adapting ADVANCE best practice STRIDE and WISELI "train the trainer" workshops; mentoring cohorts of junior faculty for research and career development; providing leadership mentoring for associate and full professors; transforming the entire faculty, including majority faculty; developing Diversity Forum toolkits; and initiating Diversity Catalyst and Leader Workshops. Intellectual Merits. Institutional ethnography is a critical method with which to approach understanding the experience of marginalized participants, and provides a new approach to enrich ADVANCE research on STEM women faculty, in particular underrepresented minority women. PCFS efforts will not only advance understanding of the applicability of pipeline and chilly climate models that ground so many "women in science" initiatives but will explore through institutional ethnography the applicability of proposed new models that integrate "boundary" metaphor approaches for exploring women's underrepresentation. Thus PCFS research will generate new knowledge and advance theoretical frameworks that will be of interest to theorists and ADVANCE programs across the nation. The Purdue ADVANCE Advocate and cultural center efforts aimed at enhancing minority women STEM faculty recruiting will be assessed for new insights into enhancing minority faculty recruitment. Broader Impacts. Improved understanding of the career pathways of women STEM faculty at Purdue, in combination with the assessments of the effectiveness of novel programs, will result in a rigorously tested, explicitly articulated suite of programs that other institutions can adapt to their own campuses. Innovative PCFS efforts to recruit minority women STEM faculty will help address a particularly persistent national STEM challenge, and other PCFS initiatives will increase participation of women in the STEM faculty ranks and in leadership positions. This will have an immediate positive impact on STEM undergraduate and graduate women at Purdue who may contemplate a potential career in academia and potentially on all individuals who are interested in science and engineering careers. PCFS includes Research Team students at the graduate and post-doctoral level and junior faculty in all programmatic initiatives and thus will support and encourage early-career advancement. Through novel partnerships with our ethnic cultural centers, PCFS will broaden participation across campus in the recruitment and support of faculty from underrepresented groups. The transformation of the entire faculty, including majority faculty, by PCFS will provide new approaches to sustain institutional support for faculty success. In addition to publications in leading journals and presentations at national and international research conferences, Purdue will disseminate a PCFS-developed toolkit for Diversity Forums and will host a national conference focused on ADVANCE theoretical frameworks as drivers for institutional change.
