Recruiting, Retaining, and Promoting Women in STEM Fields: Preparing for an Institutional Transformation Grant

纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校（State University of New York at Oswego）提出了一个ADVANCE IT Catalyst项目，该项目将启动一系列活动，以进一步促进校园内STEM学科中女性的招聘、保留和成功。该项目将有三个主要目标：1)开展数据收集过程，提供定量和定性信息，以更好地了解STEM女性教师的现状，并确定就业、保留和晋升方面的任何障碍；2)调查与我们类似的机构的最佳实践，这些实践导致了女性在STEM领域的参与和进步，特别是那些过去或现在获得IT资助的机构；3)通过开发项目、研讨会和专题讨论会来展示和发布数据和其他研究成果，为机构转型奠定基础，从而在STEM领域，特别是在副教授和正教授级别，有更多的女性教师。该项目的研究结果将有助为院校转型奠定基础，并推行校园资讯计划，以发展“资讯科技进步”补助金。智力优势：目前，关于综合性院校的教师如何在专业上取得进步的信息很少。然而，众所周知，综合院校的研究与教学之间的平衡不同于研究密集型院校，这导致了不同的政策和程序，对教师工作的不同评估，以及不同的成功标准。纽约州立大学奥斯威戈高级IT催化剂将处于有利地位，以增加对综合性机构中女教师成功的了解。更广泛的影响：通过探索公共综合机构对女性在STEM领域的机构支持和障碍，纽约州立大学奥斯威戈ADVANCE IT Catalyst项目将成为其他综合机构的典范，并为他们的系统性变革工作提供支持，从而改善STEM学科中女性教师的职业成果。

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.
