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，计划和大学层面的协调，以增加少数民族妇女在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师职位的数量;提高所有女性STEM教师的成功;并让所有教师参与改造机构。PCFS将结合联合收割机NSF和机构的支持，在普渡环境中进行具体的理论模型的适用性研究，制定这些理论模型的方案，并侧重于我们目前的举措组合的差距，并提供形成性评估和方案影响的综合评估。大学领导人和政策制定者，包括普渡大学校长和ADVANCE PI France Córdova，将使用PCFS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社区及其他地区的政策。我们的愿景是通过一个高度可见的基础设施，提供创新的校园范围内的协调和合作的举措，如加速机构转型：一个创新和著名的总统先进倡导者的位置，专注于增加干教师候选人的多样性;增强普渡大学的民族文化中心在教师支持的作用;适应先进的最佳实践STRIDE和WISELI“培训教练员”讲习班;辅导青年教师的研究和职业发展的队列;为副教授和正教授提供领导辅导;改造整个教师，包括大多数教师;开发多样性论坛工具包;并发起多样性催化剂和领导者研讨会。智力优势。机构民族志是一种重要的方法，以接近理解边缘化的参与者的经验，并提供了一种新的方法，以丰富先进的研究干女教师，特别是代表性不足的少数民族妇女。PCFS的努力不仅将促进对管道和冷冰冰的气候模型的适用性的理解，这些模型使许多“科学中的妇女”倡议成为基础，而且将通过机构人种学探索拟议的新模型的适用性，这些模型将“边界”隐喻方法整合在一起，以探索妇女的代表性不足。因此，PCFS的研究将产生新的知识和先进的理论框架，将感兴趣的理论家和全国各地的先进计划。普渡大学先进倡导者和文化中心的努力，旨在加强少数民族妇女干教师招聘将进行评估，以提高少数民族教师招聘的新见解。更广泛的影响。提高对普渡大学女性STEM教师职业道路的理解，结合对新项目有效性的评估，将产生一套经过严格测试、明确阐述的项目，其他机构可以根据自己的校园进行调整。PCFS招聘少数民族女性STEM教师的创新努力将有助于解决一个特别持续的国家STEM挑战，其他PCFS举措将增加女性在STEM教师队伍和领导职位中的参与。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，并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计划举措中的初级教师，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建立新型合作伙伴关系，PCFS将扩大整个校园对来自代表性不足群体的教师的招聘和支持的参与。整个教师，包括大多数教师的转型，由PCFS将提供新的方法来维持教师成功的机构支持。除了在领先期刊上发表文章和在国家和国际研究会议上发表演讲外，普渡大学还将传播PCFS为多样性论坛开发的工具包，并将举办一次全国会议，重点关注ADVANCE理论框架作为机构变革的驱动力。

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.
