Florida Atlantic University (FAU) will implement an ADVANCE Institutional Transformation-Catalyst (IT-Catalyst) project to undertake institutional self-assessment activities and pilot best practices from ADVANCE institutions. FAU is an urban, minority-serving institution that has faced challenges in recruiting and retaining women faculty, particularly those from URM groups. FAU will administer baseline and follow-up surveys of tenure track and non-tenure track faculty, conduct an institutional policy review, review ADVANCE best practices, choose practices to pilot, and evaluate these strategies using institutional and survey data. FAU's team aims to leverage two existing initiatives, broadening their foci to include women and URM STEM faculty: a research mentoring program in which senior faculty are paired with junior faculty to develop proposals, and a leadership development program which will also now include training for department heads on recruiting and retaining women and URM faculty. An on-campus AWIS taskforce will also visit other ADVANCE institutions to learn about best practices and will also sponsor AWIS workshops. FAU's administrative and institutional leaders have communicated their commitment to the project and to the adoption of ADVANCE best practices. The ADVANCE program is focused on developing systemic approaches to increase the participation, retention, and advancement of women in academic STEM careers. The IT-Catalyst track funds projects that aim to conduct institutional self-assessments and implement ADVANCE strategies that have been shown to be effective to address gendered issues for STEM faculty.

佛罗里达大西洋大学（FAU）将实施ADVANCE机构转型催化剂（IT-Catalyst）项目，以开展机构自我评估活动并试点ADVANCE机构的最佳实践。 FAU是一个城市，少数民族服务的机构，在招聘和留住女教师，特别是那些从URM集团面临的挑战。 FAU将管理终身教职和非终身教职教师的基线和后续调查，进行机构政策审查，审查先进的最佳做法，选择试点的做法，并使用机构和调查数据评估这些战略。 FAU的团队旨在利用两个现有的举措，扩大其重点，包括妇女和URM STEM教师：一个研究指导计划，其中高级教师与初级教师配对制定建议，以及领导力发展计划，现在还将包括招聘和留住妇女和URM教师部门负责人的培训。 一个校园AWIS工作组还将访问其他ADVANCE机构，以了解最佳实践，并将赞助AWIS研讨会。 FAU的行政和机构领导人已经表达了他们对该项目和采用ADVANCE最佳做法的承诺。 ADVANCE计划的重点是开发系统性的方法，以增加女性在学术STEM职业中的参与，保留和提升。 IT-Catalyst跟踪基金项目旨在进行机构自我评估和实施ADVANCE战略，这些战略已被证明可以有效地解决STEM教师的性别问题。
