University of Maryland: Towards an Institution for Inclusive Excellence (UM=TI^2E)

UMCP高级IT项目有四个主要目标，旨在创造一个支持职业成长和重视女性STEM教员贡献的学术环境。这些目标包括：增加教师发展机会，为全国知名度和认知度提供机会；为女性STEM教员创造一种代理感；促进教员关系和网络；以及鼓励实现职业目标和女性STEM教员的贡献。为此，UMCP高级项目提出了几项活动，预计这些活动将改变该机构的学术环境。该项目还建议强调有色人种妇女在该机构中的代表性不足。UMCP的先进信息技术项目的独特之处在于，它利用女性教员的专业成长基础来促进机构变革，特别是在STEM学科。具体地说，这个项目不仅促进了STEM女教员的发展，而且还致力于改变文化，解决工作和生活的平衡，并利用评估和社会科学来改变机构。更广泛的影响。UMCP高级IT项目解决了STEM女性教员对职业发展的担忧，特别关注有色人种女性。为此，该项目有可能成为努力应对类似挑战的其他机构的典范。预计将通过同行评议的期刊文章、项目网站以及国家介绍和外联努力等传统手段传播研究结果和项目活动成果。

The UMCP ADVANCE IT project has four primary goals that are aimed at creating an academic environment that supports professional growth and values the contributions of women STEM faculty. These goals include: enhancing faculty development opportunities that provide opportunities for national visibility and recognition; creating a sense of agency for women STEM faculty; promoting faculty relationships and networks; and encouragement of achievement of professional goals and contributions of women STEM faculty. To this end, the UMCP ADVANCE project proposes several activities that are expected to transform the academic environment at the institution. The project also proposes an emphasis on the underrepresentation of women of color at the institution.Intellectual Merit. The UMCP ADVANCE IT project is unique in that it uses a basis of professional growth for women faculty to promote institutional change, particularly in the STEM disciplines. Specifically, this project not only advances STEM women faculty, but also works toward changing cultures, addresses work life balance and utilizes evaluation and social science to transform the institution. Broader Impact. The UMCP ADVANCE IT project addresses the professional growth concerns of STEM women faculty with particular attention to women of color. To that end, this project has the potential to serve as a model for other institutions that endeavor to address similar challenges. Dissemination of research findings and project activity accomplishments are expected to occur through the traditional means of peer reviewed journal articles, a project website and national presentations and outreach efforts.
