Gannon University is a private, Roman Catholic, primarily undergraduate institution. The institution, through an ADVANCE PAID award proposes to implement strategies toward developing a teaching-research-advancement network to promote the retention and advancement of women faculty in the STEM disciplines. This approach is recognized by the institution as being essential since there exists a current shift in focus from teaching centeredness to research and scholarly productivity. It is envisaged that the proposed ADVANCE interventions will serve to prevent the marginalization of women faculty from the research enterprise at a critical time in the institution?s history. There are four objectives associated with this goal that include: recruiting and retaining women faculty, advancing women faculty through the professorial ranks, preparing women faculty for leadership positions and providing training for institutional leaders about gender equity issues. To achieve these objectives, the Gannon ADVANCE PAID project will utilize dual career services, initiate research awards and institutionalize leadership development programs. Intellectual Merit The proposed project at Gannon University adapts several successful best practices from other ADVANCE institutions in a meaningful way. As such, the expected outcomes of this project are poised to serve as a model for other institutions of similar type and with similar goals of research accomplishment. Specifically, this project presents strategies for leadership, dual career hiring and research initiation for women faculty at a moderately sized institution. Broader Impact The Gannon University ADVANCE PAID project will use traditional means of disseminating project outcomes and successes as well as innovative means, which include, but are not limited to conference manuscripts and newsletter articles to national organizations with interests in promoting gender equity in the STEM disciplines, and a postcard campaign summarizing grant activities and outcomes. Thus, this project will not only serve to ensure the broad participation of women faculty in the STEM disciplines, but also address the needs of a cadre of institutions that remain underrepresented in the ADVANCE award portfolio.

甘农大学是一所私立的罗马天主教本科院校。该机构通过一项预付款奖，提议实施发展教学-研究-进步网络的战略，以促进STEM学科女性教师的保留和进步。该机构认为这种方法是必不可少的，因为目前存在着从以教学为中心向研究和学术生产力的转变。据设想，拟议的提前干预措施将有助于在该机构的关键时刻防止女教员在研究事业中被边缘化。年代的历史。与这一目标相关的有四个目标，包括：招聘和留住女教员，通过教授队伍提升女教员，为女教员担任领导职务做好准备，并为机构领导人提供有关性别平等问题的培训。为了实现这些目标，甘农预付项目将利用双重职业服务，发起研究奖励，并将领导力发展计划制度化。甘农大学提出的项目以一种有意义的方式适应了其他ADVANCE机构的几个成功的最佳实践。因此，该项目的预期成果将成为其他类似类型和具有类似研究成就目标的机构的典范。具体来说，这个项目提出了一个中等规模的机构中女性教师的领导、双重职业招聘和研究启动的策略。甘农大学ADVANCE PAID项目将使用传统的方式传播项目成果和成功，以及创新的手段，其中包括但不限于会议手稿和通讯文章，以促进STEM学科中的性别平等的国家组织，以及总结赠款活动和成果的明信片活动。因此，该项目不仅有助于确保STEM学科的女性教师的广泛参与，而且还将满足在ADVANCE奖项组合中代表性不足的机构骨干的需求。
