"Moving FORWARD for Women in STEM Fields at UC Riverside and Beyond"

加州大学河滨分校的预付费项目建议创建和实施FORWARD(教师组织促进妇女地位、承认和发展)计划。这项计划预计将支持STEM女教员的专业发展，特别是该学院和整个加州大学高等教育系统中的有色人种女教员。该计划的具体目标是：开发教师数据数据库，为招聘和保留女教师的决策提供信息；召开年度务虚会和相关活动，以提供领导力和职业发展；并针对有色人种女性的独特兴趣举办一系列研讨会。智力价值该项目最终将增强国家-S对高等教育中阻碍女性教师在STEM学科中晋升的内在障碍的理解。这与有色人种女性尤其相关。预计汇编和分析有关STEM女性教师的招聘、保留和专业晋升的相关教员数据，将有助于更好地理解STEM的制度政策、实践和女性教师晋升之间的关系。通过创建可持续和影响深远的全州和全国性活动，旨在支持STEM女教师的专业发展，该项目将成为加州大学-罗伯茨分校体制变革的基础。该项目的影响预计将远远超出该机构和加利福尼亚州。传播项目成果的机制包括与注重科技和经济管理的国家组织建立创造性和战略性伙伴关系。

The UC-Riverside ADVANCE PAID project proposes to create and implement the FORWARD (Faculty Organization for Women's Advancement, Recognition and Development) program. This program is expected to support the professional advancement of women STEM faculty, with a particular focus on women faculty of color, at the institution and throughout the University of California higher education system. The specific objectives of the program are to: develop a database of faculty data to inform decisions regarding recruitment and retention of women faculty; convene an annual retreat and relevant activities to provide leadership and professional development; and, conduct a series of workshops targeted toward the unique interests of women of color.Intellectual Merit This project will, ultimately, enhance the nation?s understanding of the intrinsic barriers within higher education that impede the advancement of women faculty in the STEM disciplines. This is particularly relevant for women of color. The anticipated compiling and analysis of relevant faculty data on the recruitment, retention, and professional advancement of women STEM faculty will provide a better understanding of the relationship between institutional policies, practices, and the advancement of women faculty in STEM. Broader Impact By creating sustainable and far-reaching statewide and national activities intended to support the professional advancement of women faculty in STEM, this project will serve as the foundation for institutional change at UC-R. The impacts of the project are expected to reach far beyond the institution and the state of California. The mechanisms of dissemination of project outcomes include creative and strategic partnerships with national STEM-focused organizations.
