The State University of New York at Oswego proposes an ADVANCE IT Catalyst project that will initiate a series of activities to further the hiring, retention, and success of women in STEM disciplines on the campus. This project will have three main objectives: 1) to undertake a data collection process that supplies both quantitative and qualitative information to better understand the present status of women STEM faculty and to determine any barriers to employment, retention and promotion; 2) to investigate best practices at institutions similar to ours that have resulted in the participation and advancement of women in STEM, especially those that have had IT grant in the past or have them presently; and 3) to present and publish data and other research through the development of programs, workshops, and symposia, to lay the groundwork for institutional transformation that will result in more women faculty in STEM fields, particularly at the associate and full professor levels. Project findings will help to lay the groundwork for institutional transformation with a campus information project that will lead toward the development of an IT ADVANCE grant. Intellect Merit: Currently, there exists little information about how faculty at comprehensive institutions advance professionally. It is widely known, however, that the balance between research and teaching at comprehensive institutions differs from that of research intensive institutions, resulting in different policies and procedures, different assessments of faculty work, and different criteria for success. The SUNY Oswego ADVANCE IT Catalyst will be well positioned to increase the knowledge of the success of women faculty at comprehensive institutions. Broader Impacts: By exploring the institutional supports for and barriers to women in STEM areas at a public, comprehensive institution, the SUNY Oswego ADVANCE IT Catalyst project will serve as a model for other comprehensive institutions and provide support for their work toward systemic change that improves career outcomes for a women faculty in the STEM disciplines.

纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校提出了一个高级IT催化剂项目，该项目将启动一系列活动，以促进STEM专业女性在校园内的招聘、留住和成功。该项目将有三个主要目标：1)开展数据收集工作，提供定量和定性信息，以便更好地了解女性STEM教员的现状，并确定就业、留用和晋升方面的任何障碍；2)调查与我们类似的机构中导致妇女参与和提高STEM的最佳做法，特别是那些过去获得过IT补助金或现在拥有IT补助金的机构；以及3)通过制定方案、研讨会和座谈会，提出和发表数据和其他研究，为机构改革奠定基础，从而在STEM领域产生更多的女性教员，特别是在副教授和正教授级别。项目结果将有助于通过校园信息项目为机构转型奠定基础，该项目将导致开发一项信息技术预付补助金。智力价值：目前，关于综合性机构的教师如何在专业上取得进步的信息很少。然而，众所周知，综合性院校与研究密集型院校的研究和教学之间的平衡是不同的，这导致了不同的政策和程序，不同的教师工作评估，以及不同的成功标准。纽约州立大学奥斯威戈高级信息技术促进会将很好地加强对综合机构女教员成功的了解。更广泛的影响：通过探索公立综合性机构对STEM领域女性的制度支持和障碍，纽约州立大学奥斯威戈高级IT催化剂项目将成为其他综合性机构的典范，并为它们在系统变革方面的工作提供支持，以改善STEM学科中女性教员的职业成果。
