The University of Washington, North Carolina State University, and California Polytechnic State Institute, San Luis Obispo submitted an ADVANCE PLAN D project whose overall goal is to increase the retention and advancement of women in academic careers to create greater diversity in engineering leadership. This project will build and facilitate a community-centric mentoring, networking, and career development program and will target early career women in electrical engineering and underrepresented minority women in engineering and computer science. The early career women (postdoctoral and early-career faculty stage) will be supported through cross-career stage networking, community building, career development symposia, and peer Mentoring Circles. The project adapts two previously successful efforts at the University of Washington: 1) Women Evolving the Biological Sciences (WEBS): professional development symposia for early-career women in ecology and evolution and 2) Broadening the Representation of Academic Investigators in NeuroScience (BRAINS): symposia followed by Mentoring Circles for early career underrepresented minority neuroscientists. This project will examine how best to adapt these successful programs to two new disciplines and develop a model framework to allow others to develop such programs for a wide variety of fields and populations. To maximize program impact, the team will use ethnographic research methods to study the process and unique features of program development such as the collaboration between engineers and social scientists to develop new knowledge on the principles and processes critical to planning, implementing, and adapting successful intervention programs. The evaluation of the project will identify best practices to support women's success in academic careers and to diversify the engineering professoriate. The guiding principles and values that enable these programs to have impact on participants will be identified and codified in a framework that will be shared through the University of Washington's ADVANCE online "LEAD-it-Yourself!" toolkit.The NSF ADVANCE Partnerships for Learning and Adaptation Networks (PLAN) 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. The PLAN-D funding track is designed to expand the application of proven-successful gender-equity initiatives for STEM faculty in a specific disciplinary area through networked adaptation of a specific program or initiative. Careful evaluation is expected to expand understanding of such initiatives in a disciplinary context.

华盛顿大学、北卡罗来纳州州立大学和加州州立理工学院圣路易斯奥比斯波分校提交了一个ADVANCE ENUD项目，其总体目标是增加女性在学术生涯中的保留和晋升，以创造更大的工程领导多样性。 该项目将建立和促进以社区为中心的指导、网络和职业发展方案，并将针对电气工程领域的早期职业妇女以及工程和计算机科学领域代表性不足的少数民族妇女。 早期职业女性（博士后和早期职业教师阶段）将通过跨职业阶段网络，社区建设，职业发展研讨会和同行指导圈得到支持。 该项目改编了华盛顿大学以前的两项成功的努力：1）女性发展生物科学（WEBS）：为早期职业女性在生态学和进化方面的专业发展研讨会和2）扩大学术研究人员在神经科学（BRAINS）的代表性：研讨会之后是早期职业生涯中代表性不足的少数民族神经科学家的指导圈。 该项目将研究如何最好地使这些成功的项目适应两个新的学科，并开发一个模型框架，使其他人能够为各种领域和人群开发此类项目。 为了最大限度地发挥计划的影响，该团队将使用人种学研究方法来研究计划开发的过程和独特功能，例如工程师和社会科学家之间的合作，以开发对计划，实施和适应成功干预计划至关重要的原则和过程的新知识。 对该项目的评价将确定最佳做法，以支持妇女在学术生涯中取得成功，并使工程学教授队伍多样化。 指导原则和价值观，使这些计划对参与者产生影响将被确定和编纂在一个框架，将通过华盛顿的先进在线“领导它自己！NSF ADVANCE学习和适应网络伙伴关系（ADVANCE）计划轨道支持在新环境下促进以前有效的ADVANCE计划的适应和实施的项目，以及测试创新战略，以促进妇女在STEM学术生涯中的参与，成功和进步。 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。PLAN-D资助轨道旨在通过对特定计划或倡议的网络化调整，扩大STEM教师在特定学科领域的经证明成功的性别平等倡议的应用。仔细的评价预计将扩大在学科背景下对这些举措的理解。
