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.

普渡大学教师成功中心(PCF)将提供有针对性的研究、计划和大学层面的协调，以增加科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教员职位上的少数族裔女性人数；提高所有STEM女教员的成功程度；并让所有教员参与机构转型。PCF将结合国家科学基金会和机构支持，对特定理论模型在普渡环境中的适用性进行研究，制定以这些理论模型为信息的方案，重点关注我们当前倡议组合中的差距，并对方案影响进行形成性评估和全面评估。大学领导和政策制定者，包括普渡大学校长和高级法国人科尔多瓦，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STEM社区和其他社区的政策。我们的愿景是通过高度可见的基础设施，为以下举措提供创新的校园范围内的协调和合作：一个创新的和著名的总统高级倡导者职位，专注于增加STEM教员候选人库中的多样性；增强普渡大学民族文化中心在教师支持中的作用；调整先进的最佳实践STRIDE和WISELI“培训培训者”研讨会；指导初级教员的研究和职业发展；为副教授和正职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；以及发起多样性催化剂和领导者研讨会。智力上的优点。机构人种学是了解被边缘化参与者的经历的重要方法，并提供了一种新的方法来丰富对STEM女教员，特别是代表不足的少数族裔妇女的先进研究。PCF的努力不仅将促进对管道和寒冷气候模型的适用性的理解，这些模型是如此多的“科学中的妇女”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，这些新模型结合了“边界”隐喻方法来探索妇女代表性不足的问题。因此，PCFS的研究将产生新的知识和先进的理论框架，这将引起理论家的兴趣，并推动全国的计划。普渡大学高级律师和文化中心旨在促进少数族裔女性STEM教师招聘的努力将得到评估，以获得关于加强少数族裔教师招聘的新见解。更广泛的影响。加强对普渡大学女性STEM教师职业道路的了解，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。创新的PCF努力招聘少数族裔女性STEM教员，将有助于解决一个特别长期存在的国家STEM挑战，其他PCF倡议将增加STEM教员队伍和领导职位中妇女的参与。这将立即对普渡大学的STEM本科生和研究生女性产生积极影响，她们可能会考虑在学术界从事潜在的职业生涯，并可能对所有对科学和工程职业感兴趣的个人产生积极影响。合作伙伴关系包括所有方案倡议中的研究团队、研究生和博士后水平的学生以及初级教员，因此将支持和鼓励职业生涯早期发展。通过与我们的民族文化中心建立新的伙伴关系，PCF将在校园内扩大对代表不足群体的教师招聘和支持的参与。PCF对整个教职员工，包括大多数教职员工的变革，将提供新的方法来维持对教职员工成功的机构支持。除了在主要期刊上发表文章和在国家和国际研究会议上发表演讲外，普渡大学还将为多样性论坛传播由PCF开发的工具包，并将主办一次全国会议，重点是将先进的理论框架作为体制变革的驱动力。
