PA STEM University Partnership for the Advancement of Academic Women (PA STEMUP)

希本斯堡大学是一所教学机构，将与宾夕法尼亚州中部地区的地区校园合作，促进STEM学科中女性的招聘、保留和提升。提议的预付款机构合作伙伴是伊丽莎白镇学院和哈里斯堡科技大学。该项目的主要目标是评估宾夕法尼亚州中部各机构的气候，并开发一个基于网络的资源来支持性别平等战略。该项目旨在通过全州创新转移网络（ITN）将所有合作机构连接到一个专业网络中，这是一个共享实体，为宾夕法尼亚州中部地区的技术转移创造了机会。此外，ITN还为其他9个区域机构提供服务，包括一所社区学院。ITN总共代表了3 000多名教员，因此，希本斯堡大学的PAID项目包含了一个广泛的基础，用于性别平等活动的转变和相关成果评估。该项目的智力价值在于重点分析、修改和采用已证明的ADVANCE最佳实践，以促进和支持非研究密集型机构的女性教师的进步。高度发达和协同的伙伴关系是该项目的强大资产，最终将影响宾夕法尼亚州中部地区数千名教师，并成为该州其余高等教育系统的典范。由于该项目的重点是教学，非研究密集型机构，因此Shippensburg ADVANCE PAID项目将对促进美国所有类似类型机构的性别平等产生巨大影响。这一点尤其重要，因为在这些类型的机构中雇用的女教师人数过高。

Shippensburg University is a teaching institution that will partner with regional campuses in the central Pennsylvania area to promote the recruitment, retention and advancement of women in the academic STEM disciplines. The proposed ADVANCE PAID institutional partners are Elizabethtown College and Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. The primary goals of this project are to assess the climate among central Pennsylvania institutions and develop a web based resource to support gender equity strategies. This project seeks to link all partner institutions in a professional network through the statewide Innovation Transfer Network (ITN), a shared entity that creates opportunities for technology transfer in the central Pennsylvania region. Additionally, the ITN serves nine other regional institutions, including a community college. Collectively, the ITN represents over 3,000 faculty, thus, the Shippensburg University PAID project consists of a broad base for transformation and relevant outcomes assessment of gender equity activity. Intellectual Merit The intellectual merit of this project lies in the focus on analysis, modification and adoption of proven ADVANCE best practices for promoting and supporting the advancement of women faculty at non research intensive institutions. The highly developed and synergistic partnership is a strong asset to the project and will, ultimately, impact thousands of faculty across the central Pennsylvania region and serve as a model for the remainder of the state's higher education system.Broader Impact Because of the focus of this project on teaching, non research intensive institutions, the Shippensburg ADVANCE PAID project will have a dramatic impact on promoting gender equity at all institutions of similar type in the US. This is particularly significant given the disproportionately high number of women faculty who are employed at these institution types.
