The NSF 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 diverse faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in policies, processes, practices, and the organizational culture and climate. ADVANCE "Adaptation" awards provide support for the adaptation and adoption of evidence-based strategies to academic and non-academic non-profit organizations.The American Society for Engineering Education's (ASEE's) ADVANCE Adaptation project will engage engineering deans across the country in the Engineering Deans Gender Equity (EDGE) Initiative. The EDGE Initiative leverages a pledge made by over 200 engineering deans to enhance equity and diversity in engineering started in 2015. The EDGE project will: 1) reduce institutional and system-level barriers to engineering deans' ability to advance the recruitment, retention, and professional advancement of faculty; and 2) conduct research to determine if reducing impediments promotes deans' capacity to effect positive change for faculty. The EDGE project will result in the creation of a National Gender Equity Indicators Database; and centralization and dissemination of evidence-based, faculty gender equity leadership resources and strategies. The ASEE EDGE Initiative will advance engineering deans' knowledge and understanding for making intentional, research-based changes to promote equity for faculty by addressing barriers to culture change. This work is grounded in three premises: 1) we know a great deal about engineering faculty cultures; 2) engineering faculty culture change is needed and can be accomplished; and 3) deans can provide leadership for changing engineering faculty culture. The EDGE Initiative will advance knowledge through the study of the impact of the EDGE project on engineering deans' actions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

NSF ADVANCE计划旨在通过重点确定和消除阻碍学术机构中不同教师充分参与和进步的组织障碍来促进性别平等。 阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、流程、做法以及组织文化和氛围中。 ADVANCE "适应"奖为学术和非学术非营利组织提供适应和采用循证战略的支持。美国工程教育学会（ASEE）的ADVANCE适应项目将使全国各地的工程系主任参与工程系主任性别平等（EDGE）倡议。 EDGE计划利用200多位工程系主任的承诺，从2015年开始加强工程的公平性和多样性。 EDGE项目将：1）减少机构和系统层面的障碍，工程系主任的能力，以促进招聘，保留和教师的专业发展;和2）进行研究，以确定是否减少障碍促进院长的能力，以影响教师的积极变化。 EDGE项目将导致建立一个国家两性平等指标数据库;集中和传播以证据为基础的教师两性平等领导资源和战略。ASEE EDGE计划将推进工程系主任的知识和理解，以便通过解决文化变革的障碍来进行有意识的、基于研究的变革，以促进教师的公平。这项工作是基于三个前提：1）我们知道了很多关于工程学院文化; 2）工程学院文化的变化是必要的，可以完成;和3）院长可以提供改变工程学院文化的领导。EDGE计划将通过研究EDGE项目对工程系主任行动的影响来推进知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
