The ADVANCE program is designed to foster gender equity through a focus on the identification and elimination of organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of women faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in areas such as policy, practice, culture, and organizational climate. The ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (ADVANCE-IT) track supports the development of innovative organizational change strategies within an institution of higher education to enhance gender equity in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines.Florida International University (FIU) is the 4th largest public university in the U.S. and the 2nd largest in Florida, with over 54,000 students with over 80% from underrepresented groups. FIU's goal for this ADVANCE-IT project is to develop institutional structures, processes, and climate that builds an affirming and fair workplace. There are four objectives within this project: (1) Address issues that impede the recruitment, retention, and promotion of women STEM faculty, particularly women of color, to better reflect the demographics of the FIU student body; (2) Educate faculty about biases and "microclimates" (the local social climates that positively or negatively impact the work experience of faculty within the institution); (3) Develop strategies and tools to help move faculty from insight to action to promote gender equity; (4) Develop the Advance Florida Network comprised of the Florida metropolitan research universities (FIU, University of Central Florida, and University of South Florida). The FIU project includes two social science research studies that will add to our knowledge of equity in STEM academics and strategies to foster equity. The first study will increase our understanding of "microclimates" and the role of the majority faculty in setting the climate of a department. The second study will investigate the long-term impact on the behavior of participants in the Deep Change Program intervention which includes training on inequity and using strategies to intervene.

该方案的目的是促进两性平等，重点是查明和消除阻碍女教师充分参与学术机构和提高其地位的组织障碍。 阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、实践、文化和组织氛围等领域。 ADVANCE机构转型（ADVANCE-IT）轨道支持高等教育机构内创新组织变革战略的发展，以加强科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的性别平等。佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）是美国第四大公立大学，也是佛罗里达第二大公立大学，拥有超过54所，超过80%的学生来自代表性不足的群体。 金融情报室的这一“促进信息技术”项目的目标是发展体制结构、程序和氛围，以建立一个肯定和公平的工作场所。 该项目有四个目标：（1）解决阻碍女性STEM教师，特别是有色人种女性的招聘，保留和晋升的问题，以更好地反映FIU学生群体的人口统计数据;（2）教育教师了解偏见和“小气候”（当地的社会气候，积极或消极地影响机构内的教师的工作经验）;（3）制定战略和工具，帮助教职员工将见解转化为促进两性平等的行动;（4）发展由佛罗里达大都市研究型大学（金融情报大学、中佛罗里达大学和南佛罗里达大学）组成的佛罗里达高级网络。 金融情报室项目包括两项社会科学研究，这将增加我们对STEM学者公平性的认识和促进公平性的战略。 第一项研究将增加我们对“小气候”的理解，以及大多数教师在设定系里的气候时所扮演的角色。 第二项研究将调查深度变革方案干预对参与者行为的长期影响，其中包括关于不平等的培训和使用干预策略。
