The primary focus of this exploratory research study is to investigate the work-life balance policies at North Carolina A&T State University, as well as other minority serving institutions of higher education, to promote the success of STEM women faculty of color. The project will: 1) expand the NCA&T STEM gender equity focus to include an emphasis on work-life equilibrium for STEM women faculty of color and 2) develop a rubric, appropriate to the HBCU context, to support the institutionalization of an HBCU Institutional Policy Matrix. This is a collaborative effort between the North Carolina A&T University ADVANCE Program and the recently NSF-funded Gender Values project, which has as its focus to implement widespread use of a mechanism for collecting and cataloguing institutional family friendly policies and practices as a function of levels of institutionalization and consideration for inclusivity. This collaboration represents an effort to provide institutions of higher education with a practical and tactical blueprint for promoting flexible workplace policies and practices for STEM women faculty of color at the level of precision required for dramatic change and sustained impact. The proposed project will contribute significantly to advancing the national discussion and discourse on matters related to achieving gender friendly climates in the academy, particularly as they relate to the STEM fields. A major outcome will be the HBCU Institutional Policy Matrix that can potentially serve as a featured contribution to the NSF Career Life Balance website, providing guidance to researchers and evaluators about the assessment of the integrity of existing institutional policies and their potential to support STEM women faculty of color.

这项探索性研究的主要焦点是调查北卡罗来纳A&T州立大学以及其他为少数族裔服务的高等教育机构的工作与生活平衡政策，以促进STEM女性色彩学院的成功。该项目将：1)扩大NCA&amp；T STEM性别平等重点，将重点放在有色人种女性STEM学院的工作与生活平衡上；2)制定适合HBCU背景的标准，以支持HBCU机构政策矩阵的制度化。这是北卡罗来纳农工大学预科项目和最近由NSF资助的性别价值观项目之间的合作努力，该项目的重点是广泛使用一种机制，根据制度化程度和包容性考虑，收集和编目制度性的家庭友好政策和做法。这一合作代表着为高等教育机构提供了一份实用和战术蓝图，以促进STEM女性有色人种学院灵活的工作场所政策和做法，达到显著变化和持续影响所需的精确度。拟议的项目将极大地促进国家讨论和讨论与实现学院性别友好氛围有关的事项，特别是与STEM领域有关的事项。一个主要成果将是HBCU机构政策矩阵，它可能成为NSF职业生活平衡网站的特色贡献，为研究人员和评估者提供指导，评估现有机构政策的完整性及其支持STEM女性有色人种教师的潜力。
