This project will create a blueprint to foster an equitable and supportive environment for all faculty members, especially women at City College (CCNY) in the City University of New York system. City College is the flagship science and engineering school in the system and a minority-serving institution. Change at CCNY is likely to impact the other colleges and lead to advancing women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields throughout the system. CCNY will conduct a self-assessment of faculty perceptions, institutional policies and practices, and of the representation and advancement of women in STEM as a means towards developing the blueprint. Advancing women and minority faculty at CCNY will provide visible role models for more than half of the student population that is female, many of whom are from minority or disadvantaged backgrounds.As City College moves into its next phase in transforming itself into a research-intensive university, it faces the challenge of remaining true to its mission of access and inclusive excellence, while upgrading its research profile and reputation. The goals of this proposal are to identify the cultural and environmental factors that promote or hinder the advancement of STEM women at City College. This information will be used to implement new policies to ensure that advancement is gender neutral and to provide a blueprint for effective career advancement of women. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: (a) to locate and identify obstacles to the representation and advancement of women STEM faculty; (b) to determine perceptual differences among faculty and administrators of different genders, races/ethnicities, ranks and disciplines; (c) to better understand cultural and environmental influences on these obstacles and perceptual differences; (d) to effect institutional transformation through targeted initiatives to remove barriers and remedy current inequities. A mixed methods approach will be used to obtain information from faculty that will be used alongside the policy review to develop the blueprint for institutional transformation. The data collection portion will be used to create a systematic data set that may be used in the future to monitor change.

该项目将创建一个蓝图，以为所有教职员工，尤其是纽约市城市大学城市学院（CCNY）的妇女促进一个公平和支持的环境。 城市学院是该系统中的旗舰科学与工程学校，也是少数派服务机构。 CCNY的变化可能会影响其他大学，并导致整个系统中的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的妇女前进。 CCNY将对教师的看法，机构政策和实践以及STEM中妇女的代表和进步进行自我评估，以此作为发展蓝图的一种手段。 在CCNY促进妇女和少数族裔教师将为一半以上的学生提供明显的榜样，其中许多人来自少数群体或处境不利的背景。由于城市学院进入下一阶段，将自己转变为一所研究密集型大学，这面临着涉及其访问和包容性卓越的挑战，同时提高其研究和尊敬的知名度。 该提案的目标是确定促进或阻碍城市学院STEM妇女进步的文化和环境因素。该信息将用于实施新的政策，以确保进步是性别中立的，并为有效的妇女职业发展提供蓝图。 该项目的具体目标如下：（a）定位和确定妇女STEM教师的代表性和进步的障碍； （b）确定不同性别，种族/种族，等级和学科的教师和管理人员之间的感知差异； （c）更好地理解对这些障碍和感知差异的文化和环境影响； （d）通过有针对性的倡议来消除障碍和补救当前不平等现象，以实现机构转型。 一种混合方法方法将用于从教师那里获取信息，该信息将与政策审查一起使用，以开发用于制度转型的蓝图。 数据收集部分将用于创建一个系统的数据集，该数据集将来可能会用于监视更改。
