The University of California, Hastings College of the Law ADVANCE PAID project is a partnership with the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) that focuses on the development and dissemination of workshop tools and modules to institutions of higher education. These tools are expected to accomplish several critical objectives including, providing institutions with economic data that builds the case for gender equity policies; development and dissemination of knowledge associated with underrepresented minority women; implementation of user friendly workshops-in-a-box; improvement and dissemination of survey protocols and related products; and, leveraging of multiple and easily accessible outlets for dissemination of relevant information. Intellectual Merit. The UC Hastings project is a strategic partnership with a national organization that has a complementary focus on enhancing the representation of women in the academic STEM disciplines. With the broad network of AWIS and the expertise of the PIs, this partnership will utilize a train-the-trainer model to provides workshops-in-a-box, develop a rigorous economic analysis of retaining women in the academy, determine mechanisms for disaggregating gender bias by race and/or ethnicity and provide meaningful tools for change dissemination. Broader Impact. The proposed project is expected to reach beyond higher education to include other AWIS chapters and non-profit STEM organizations. As such, there are significant broader impacts associated with the workshops. Additionally, by utilizing the national platform of AWIS, traditional means of dissemination are broadened to the greatest extent possible. Thus, the outcomes of the project that are related to women in STEM will easily reach a broad audience and contribute to engaging both institutions of higher education and STEM organizations in best practices related to promoting gender equity.

加州大学黑斯廷斯法学院预付费项目是与妇女科学协会的伙伴关系，重点是向高等教育机构开发和传播讲习班工具和模块。这些工具预计将实现几个关键目标，包括：向各机构提供经济数据，为两性平等政策提供依据；开发和传播与任职人数偏低的少数族裔妇女有关的知识；举办方便用户的集合式讲习班；改进和传播调查方案和相关产品；利用多种方便获取的渠道传播相关信息。智力上的功绩。加州大学黑斯廷斯分校的项目是与一个国家组织的战略伙伴关系，该组织的重点是加强妇女在STEM学术学科中的代表性。借助特设工作组的广泛网络和私人投资机构的专门知识，这一伙伴关系将利用培训员培训模式，提供盒装讲习班，为留住学院的妇女制定严格的经济分析，确定按种族和/或族裔分解性别偏见的机制，并为变革传播提供有意义的工具。更广泛的影响。拟议的项目预计将扩大到高等教育以外的领域，包括AWIS的其他分会和非营利性STEM组织。因此，与讲习班相关的影响更为广泛。此外，通过利用预警系统的国家平台，最大限度地扩大了传统的传播手段。因此，与STEM妇女有关的项目成果将很容易影响到广大受众，并有助于高等教育机构和STEM组织参与与促进性别平等有关的最佳做法。
