The University of San Diego is a primarily undergraduate institution that proposes a variety of activities designed to recruit and retain women STEM faculty with a particular focus on women of color. The first primary goal of this project is to improve the climate through a climate survey and interactive role playing presentations. The second primary goal is to improve recruitment through the development of toolkits, trainings, cross-cultural competency workshops, and policy change. The third goal of improved retention and advancement is pursued through workshops on work/life balance, tenure and promotion, and professional writing as well as a mentoring program and a distinguished URM women scientist lecture series. All programming has a unique and well informed focus on women of color.INTELLECTUAL MERITThe intellectual merit of this proposal lies in its firm grounding in the social science literature, especially the literature about women of color in the academy. Their cluster of proposed activities is likely to positively impact the women on the USD campus and stands to serve as a model for increasing the representation of STEM women of color across the country. BROADER IMPACTSProblems with the recruitment and retention of women-of-color STEM faculty plague the academy and weaken the scientific workforce. This multi-faceted project provides a roadmap to alleviate the problem in smaller, less research-intensive institutions. Their evaluation and dissemination plans are well conceived which contributes to the likelihood that they will be able to make a significant contribution to the literature.

圣地亚哥大学是一所主要是本科院校，提出了各种旨在招募和留住女性 STEM 教员的活动，特别关注有色人种女性。 该项目的第一个主要目标是通过气候调查和互动角色扮演演示来改善气候。 第二个主要目标是通过开发工具包、培训、跨文化能力研讨会和政策改变来改善招聘。 第三个目标是通过工作/生活平衡、任期和晋升、专业写作以及指导计划和杰出的 URM 女科学家系列讲座来实现提高保留和晋升的目标。 所有节目都以独特且消息灵通的方式关注有色人种女性。 智力价值 该提案的智力价值在于其坚实的社会科学文献基础，尤其是学院中有关有色人种女性的文献。 他们提议的一系列活动可能会对美国校园的女性产生积极影响，并有望成为提高全国 STEM 有色人种女性代表性的典范。 更广泛的影响 有色人种女性 STEM 教员的招聘和保留问题困扰着学院，并削弱了科学劳动力。 这个多方面的项目提供了一个路线图，以缓解规模较小、研究密集度较低的机构的问题。 他们的评估和传播计划经过精心设计，这有助于他们为文献做出重大贡献。
