This ADVANCE-PAID project will adapt best practices from an existing ADVANCE-supported leadership development program in order to transform a national association of academic deans, the Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences (CCAS). Specifically, CCAS will partner with the University of Washington's (UW) Leadership Excellence for Academic Diversity (LEAD), a national professional development workshop of documented effectiveness, to infuse STEM gender equity content into CCAS's existing professional development programs for deans and department chairs. The objectives of the CCAS ADVANCE Initiative are to: 1) infuse gender equity content and activities into CCAS's professional development programs in a sustainable way; 2) maximize opportunities for positive impacts of the initiative on individuals underrepresented in STEM disciplines; and 3) develop, utilize, and make widely available a set of robust case studies that incorporate gender equity elements. The CCAS professional development programs and activities that will be targeted for infusion of STEM gender equity content are the New Deans' Seminar, Department Chairs' Seminar, Annual Meeting, selected Topical Seminars, and Pre-/Post-conference Workshops. LEAD program personnel will facilitate CCAS's adaptation and dissemination of successful practices from LEAD's workshops for chairs, deans, and emerging faculty leaders. Strategic efforts will be undertaken to increase the participation in CCAS workshops of individuals from minority-serving institutions (MSIs). Case studies are an important learning tool used in CCAS's current professional development programs. Multiple cases addressing gender equity scenarios commonly encountered by STEM deans and chairs will be developed and implemented throughout CCAS's programming. The initiative's intellectual merit derives from its innovative and multitiered approach of transforming an association of academic administrators as a means of promoting change among its member institutions. As well, because this project will effect lasting changes to a well-established and self-supporting professional development infrastructure, it will be sustainable. The project offers high potential for broad impact, in that CCAS membership includes nearly 500 higher education institutions ranging from baccalaureate liberal arts through major research universities whose representatives include approximately 1,600 deans, associate deans, and assistant deans. CCAS's professional development activities also reach 80-120 department chairs annually. Educating these key populations - individuals who play pivotal roles in the recruitment, mentoring, development, and advancement of STEM faculty - will cultivate academic leaders who are more knowledgeable about STEM gender equity issues, more able and motivated to address those issues, and thus better positioned to effect positive transformational change in their own colleges and departments. Further, with a membership that includes 48 MSIs and targeted efforts to solicit project participation by MSI representatives, there is substantial potential for impacts on populations underrepresented in STEM disciplines.

这个先进的付费项目将从现有的先进支持的领导力发展计划，以改变学术院长的国家协会，艺术和科学学院（CCAS）的理事会的最佳实践。具体而言，CCAS将与华盛顿大学（UW）的学术多样性卓越领导（LEAD）合作，这是一个记录有效性的国家专业发展研讨会，将STEM性别平等内容注入CCAS现有的院长和系主任专业发展计划。CCAS ADVANCE倡议的目标是：1）以可持续的方式将性别平等内容和活动注入CCAS的专业发展计划; 2）最大限度地增加该倡议对STEM学科代表性不足的个人产生积极影响的机会; 3）开发，利用和广泛提供一套包含性别平等元素的强大案例研究。CCAS的专业发展方案和活动将有针对性地注入STEM性别平等内容，这些方案和活动包括新院长研讨会、系主任研讨会、年度会议、选定的专题研讨会和会前/会后讲习班。LEAD计划人员将促进CCAS的适应和传播从LEAD的椅子，院长和新兴的教师领导研讨会的成功做法。将作出战略努力，使更多来自少数群体服务机构的个人参加天主教儿童辅助会的讲习班。案例研究是CCAS当前专业发展计划中使用的重要学习工具。将在CCAS的整个规划过程中制定和实施多个案例，解决STEM院长和主席经常遇到的性别平等问题。该倡议的知识价值来自其创新和多层次的方法，即改造学术管理人员协会，作为促进其成员机构变革的一种手段。此外，由于该项目将对一个完善和自我维持的专业发展基础设施产生持久的变化，因此它将是可持续的。该项目具有广泛影响的巨大潜力，因为CCAS成员包括近500所高等教育机构，从学士学位文科到主要研究型大学，其代表包括约1，600名院长，副院长和助理院长。CCAS的专业发展活动每年也达到80-120个部门主席。教育这些关键人群-在STEM教师的招聘，指导，发展和进步中发挥关键作用的个人-将培养学术领导者，他们对STEM性别平等问题更加了解，更有能力和动力来解决这些问题，从而更好地定位于在自己的学院和部门实现积极的转型变革。此外，由于成员包括48个MSI，并有针对性地努力征求MSI代表的项目参与，对STEM学科中代表性不足的人口产生影响的潜力很大。
