I3: Strengthening the Professoriate at Iowa State University (SPISU): A Campus Network to Enable Strong Science and Diverse Communities

知识价值：加强爱荷华州立大学（SPISU）的教授队伍，通过创建一个专注于将更广泛的影响努力整合到他们的研究事业中的学者社区，加强和多样化教授队伍。SPISU汇集了许多由美国国家科学基金会资助的校园项目，这些项目的共同使命是扩大代表性不足的少数民族和女性在STEM领域的参与，目标是建立网络，整合和维持个人和多个研究者项目的努力。该社区还包括博士后学者和由教师指导的高级研究生，因为他们培养了制定更广泛影响计划所需的意识和技能，以补充他们的研究技能。该项目支持以下主要成果：(1)制定协议和政策，在年度绩效评估、晋升和终身教职过程中使用教师的更广泛影响工作。目标是开发评估工具和协议，为ISU的流程增加价值，并可在其他大学实施。(2)通过SPISU，教师开发基于最佳实践奖学金的更广泛影响项目的研究。这提高了教师将更广泛的影响计划整合到他们的研究项目中的智力强度。更广泛的影响：拟议的活动侧重于培养新一代的教师，他们将更广泛的影响努力与他们的研究事业结合起来。参与的项目包括ISU ADVANCE、爱荷华州AGEP和其他专注于K-grey教育和多样性努力的项目，这些项目受益于一组新的合作教师。开发新的P&amp；T协议和程序，包括对更广泛影响工作的评估，也增加了教师对更广泛影响的努力水平。最后，由于博士后学者和高级研究生被包括在SPISU的活动中，他们将接受教师职位的培训，因为他们将根据最佳实践的奖学金制定更广泛的影响计划。与ISU ADVANCE，爱荷华州AGEP和数学联盟合作，将确保积极招募妇女和代表性不足的少数民族参加SPISU的活动。

Intellectual Merit: Strengthening the Professoriate at Iowa State University (SPISU) strengthens and diversifies the professoriate by creating a community of scholars who focus on integrating broader impacts efforts into their research enterprise. SPISU brings together campus programs, many NSF funded, that share the mission of broadening participation of under-represented minorities and women in STEM fields, with the goal of networking, integrating, and sustaining the efforts of individual and multiple-investigator projects. The community also includes post-doctoral scholars and advanced graduate students mentored by faculty as they develop the awareness and skills needed to develop plans for broader impacts to complement their research skills. The project supports these primary outcomes: (1) the creation of protocols and policies that use a faculty member's broader impact work in annual performance evaluations and the promotion and tenure process. The goal is to develop evaluation tools and protocols that will add value to ISU processes and can be implemented at other universities. (2) Through SPISU, faculty develop research based broader impact programs that are based on the scholarship of best practices. This raises the intellectual strength of broader impact plans that faculty integrate into their research programs.Broader Impacts: The proposed activity focuses on developing a new generation of faculty who integrate their broader impacts efforts with their research enterprise. The participating programs, which include ISU ADVANCE, Iowa AGEP, and other programs focused on K-grey education and diversity efforts benefit from a new group of collaborating faculty. Developing new P&T protocols and procedures to include evaluation of broader impacts work also increases the level of effort that faculty put toward broader impacts. Finally, as post-doctoral scholars and advanced graduate students are included in the SPISU activities, they will be trained for faculty positions as they develop broader impact plans that are based on the scholarship of best practices. Partnering with ISU ADVANCE, Iowa AGEP, and the Math Alliance, will ensure that women and under-represented minorities are actively recruited to participate in SPISU activities.
