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

位于奥斯韦戈的纽约州立大学提出了一个先进的IT催化剂项目，该项目将启动一系列活动，以促进校园内STEM学科女性的招聘、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女教师的现状，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的最佳做法，这些做法导致了妇女在STEM中的参与和进步，特别是那些过去或现在获得IT资助的人; 3）通过制定计划，研讨会和研讨会来展示和发布数据和其他研究，为机构转型奠定基础，这将导致更多的女性教师进入STEM领域，特别是在副教授和正教授级别。 项目的调查结果将有助于奠定基础，机构转型与校园信息项目，将导致对IT发展的进步赠款的发展。智力优势：目前，关于综合性大学教师如何专业发展的信息很少。 然而，众所周知，综合性机构的研究和教学之间的平衡与研究密集型机构不同，导致不同的政策和程序，对教师工作的不同评估，以及不同的成功标准。纽约州立大学奥斯韦戈先进的IT催化剂将很好地定位，以增加在综合性机构的女教师的成功的知识。更广泛的影响：通过探索在一个公共的综合性机构中对STEM领域女性的机构支持和障碍，SUNY奥斯韦戈ADVANCE IT Catalyst项目将成为其他综合性机构的典范，并为他们的工作提供支持，以实现系统性变革，改善STEM学科女教师的职业成果。

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.
