The overall purpose of the Jackson State University ADVANCE IT project is to enhance the work climate for women faculty in the STEM disciplines. To that end, the project proposes to provide professional development to faculty and administrators, develop a network of research and career mentors for women STEM faculty, review university policies and practices and foster a climate of gender inclusion. This project is particularly unique in that if focuses on women faculty at our nation?s Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Intellectual Merit. The intellectual merit and novelty of this project lies in the institution type and in the approaches to be initiated toward gender equity, particularly because there exists a dearth of information and literature that focuses on women in the STEM disciplines at historically Black institutions. The JSU ADVANCE IT project will inform the community about institutional transformation at this institution type, as well as promote an understanding of gender issues and stereotypes as they are uniquely related to women of color. Broader Impact. The Jackson State University ADVANCE IT project will have significant impact on a cadre of women STEM faculty who have been underserved and underrepresented in the STEM disciplines. Moreover, this project will provide a blueprint for implementing strategies on any campus for women of color. Project findings will be disseminated largely through a project website and through other traditional means, with special emphasis on other institutions in EPSCoR states.

杰克逊州立大学 ADVANCE IT 项目的总体目标是改善 STEM 学科女教师的工作氛围。 为此，该项目提议为教师和管理人员提供专业发展，为女性 STEM 教师建立研究和职业导师网络，审查大学政策和实践，并营造性别包容的氛围。 该项目的特别之处在于，它重点关注我们国家历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的女教师。 智力优点。 该项目的智力价值和新颖性在于机构类型和实现性别平等的方法，特别是因为在历史悠久的黑人机构中，缺乏关注 STEM 学科中女性的信息和文献。 JSU ADVANCE IT 项目将向社区通报此类机构的机构转型，并促进对性别问题和陈规定型观念的理解，因为它们与有色人种女性有着独特的关系。 更广泛的影响。 杰克逊州立大学 ADVANCE IT 项目将对 STEM 学科中一直得不到充分服务且代表性不足的女性 STEM 教师骨干产生重大影响。 此外，该项目将为在任何校园内针对有色人种女性实施战略提供蓝图。 项目研究结果将主要通过项目网站和其他传统方式传播，特别重点是 EPSCoR 各州的其他机构。
