UC Davis ADVANCE: Institutional Transformation to Build and Sustain a Diverse Community of Innovative STEM Scholars

加州大学戴维斯分校的高级方案采用了四管齐下的方法，以增加妇女在STEM领域的参与和提高其地位。这一方法包括：建立促进多元文化科学观点中心(CAMPOS)，实施减少无意识偏见影响的方案，赋予STEM女教职员工权力，以及旨在为创建和维持包容性STEM环境而采用的创新方法提供信息和评估的严格社会科学研究和评估方案。在这种多方面的方法背后，是对拉丁裔STEM教师的招聘、留住和晋升，以及培养更接近该地区的STEM劳动力的密切关注。为此，预计该项目将提供急需的细微差别，以了解种族、族裔和文化差异如何与个人、家庭、机构、指导和网络影响相互作用，从而影响学术职业道路和拉丁裔STEM教师的职业轨迹的吸引力。鉴于加州大学庞大的校园网络和创新的传播方法，加州大学戴维斯分校的先行计划将对该地区和全国其他大学产生半官方影响。因此，加州大学戴维斯分校将推动众多高等教育机构朝着性别平等的方向进行制度变革，同时促进代表性不足的STEM教师的职业成功，并通过纳入以前代表性不足的观点来增强学术科学的潜力。

The UC Davis ADVANCE program utilizes a four-pronged approach to increasing the participation and advancement of women in the STEM fields. This approach includes: establishment of a Center for Advancing Multi-Cultural Perspectives on Science (CAMPOS), implementation of programs to reduce the impact of unconscious bias, empowerment of STEM women faculty, and a rigorous social science research and evaluation program that is designed to both inform and assess the innovative approach being utilized to create and sustain an inclusive STEM environment. Underlying this multi-faceted approach is a keen focus on the recruitment, retention and advancement of Latina STEM faculty and the development of a STEM workforce that more closely resembles the region. To that end, it is expected that this project will provide much-needed nuance to the understanding of how race, ethnicity and cultural differences interact with personal, familial, institutional, mentorship, and network influences to impact the attractiveness of the academic career path and the professional trajectories of Latina STEM faculty. Given the vast network of UC campuses and innovative dissemination methods, the ADVANCE program at UC Davis will seminally impact the region and other universities nationwide. As such, UC Davis will drive institutional change toward gender equity in numerous institutions of higher education, while promoting the career success of underrepresented STEM faculty and enhancing the potential of academic science through the inclusion of previously underrepresented perspectives.
