The NSF ADVANCE Partnerships for Learning and Adaptation Networks - Institutions of Higher Education (PLAN-IHE) funding track is designed to expand the application of proven-successful gender-equity initiatives for STEM faculty through networked adaptation of a specific program or initiative. Careful evaluation is expected to expand understanding of such initiatives across institutions and institution types.This project will adapt the Jackson State University (JSU) ADVANCE Summer Writing Retreat (SWR) to six other minority-serving institutions. The resulting network will promote the scholarly activities of faculty women of color in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The partner institutions include: 1) Tennessee State University, a public Historically Black College and University (HBCU); 2) Tougaloo College, a private HBCU in Mississippi; 3) The University of Texas, Pan American, a public Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI); 4) Norfolk State University, a public HBCU in Virginia; 5) Winston-Salem State University, a public HBCU in North Carolina; and 6) The University of the Virgin Islands, a public HBCU. The objectives of this project are to: 1) Adapt components of the JSU ADVANCE SWR to six other minority-serving institutions; 2) Create a multi-institutional network that expands the resources that are available to faculty at the partner institutions; and 3) Develop a knowledge-building community that shares data and findings about the SWR adaptation process and the impact on scholarly productivity and career advancement. The study will also contribute to better understanding of the career-life balance challenges among women of color in STEM faculty from a variety of minority serving institutions that serve African American, Hispanic, and Caribbean students, and can help inform the ways in which universities and other agencies plan to support diverse women of color in STEM disciplines.This project will contribute a better understanding of the factors that contribute to, and those that inhibit the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women of color in STEM academic careers. Uniquely, this project focuses on women of color faculty at HBCUs and HSIs. This project will address well-documented challenges that women of color face in STEM related to scholarly productivity, publishing, securing of external grant funding, tenure, promotion into full professorships, and advancement into academic administrative leadership. The project will shed light on the ways in which writing and collaboration communities (both face-to-face and online) can be useful tools in promoting scholarly productivity and work-life balance among women of color at minority serving institutions. Through the adaptations, the objective is to learn which components of the SWR most effectively promote the participants' scholarly productivity while also giving attention to the role of scholarly identity and work-life balance in writing and research productivity among STEM faculty women of color. The Partnerships for Learning and Adaptation Networks program track supports projects that promote the adaptation and implementation of previously effective ADVANCE programs in new contexts and the testing of innovative strategies to promote the participation, success, and advancement of women in STEM academic careers. PLAN projects also contribute to the knowledge base on gender equity in STEM academic careers.

NSF ADVANCE学习和适应网络合作伙伴关系-高等教育机构（PLAN-IHE）资助轨道旨在通过对特定计划或倡议的网络化适应，扩大经证明成功的性别平等倡议在STEM教师中的应用。 仔细的评价预计将扩大对这些举措的了解 该项目将使杰克逊州立大学（JSU）高级夏季写作务虚会（SWR）适应其他六个为少数群体服务的机构。 由此产生的网络将促进有色人种女教师在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的学术活动。 伙伴机构包括：1）田纳西州立大学，一所公立的历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）; 2）图加洛学院，一所位于密西西比州的私立HBCU; 3）德克萨斯大学泛美分校，一所公立的西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）; 4）诺福克州立大学，一所位于弗吉尼亚州的公立HBCU; 5）温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学，一所位于北卡罗来纳州的公立HBCU; 6）维尔京群岛大学，一所公立高等教育大学。 该项目的目标是：1）调整JSU ADVANCE SWR的组成部分，使其适用于其他六个少数民族服务机构; 2）创建一个多机构网络，扩大伙伴机构教师可用的资源; 3）开发一个知识建设社区，分享有关SWR适应过程的数据和发现，以及对学术生产力和职业发展的影响。 该研究还将有助于更好地了解有色人种女性在STEM教师中面临的职业与生活平衡挑战，这些女性来自为非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和加勒比学生提供服务的各种少数民族服务机构，并可以帮助告知大学和其他机构计划支持STEM学科中不同肤色女性的方式。以及那些抑制有色人种女性在STEM学术生涯中的招聘、保留和晋升的人。 独特的是，这个项目的重点是在HBCU和HSIs的有色人种教师的妇女。 该项目将解决有色人种妇女在STEM领域面临的有据可查的挑战，这些挑战涉及学术生产力、出版、获得外部赠款、终身教职、晋升为全职教授以及晋升为学术行政领导。 该项目将阐明写作和协作社区（面对面和在线）可以成为促进少数民族服务机构有色人种妇女学术生产力和工作与生活平衡的有用工具。 通过调整，目标是了解SWR的哪些组成部分最有效地促进了参与者的学术生产力，同时也注意到学术身份和工作与生活平衡在STEM教师中的作用。学习和适应网络计划轨道的伙伴关系支持的项目，促进适应和实施以前有效的先进计划在新的背景下和创新战略的测试，以促进参与，成功，和妇女在干学术生涯的进步。 性别平等研究项目还有助于STEM学术生涯中性别平等的知识基础。
