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计划旨在通过关注和消除阻碍各种教师在学术机构中的全面参与和进步的组织障碍来促进性别平等。 抑制公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策，过程，实践以及组织文化和气候中。 提前的“适应”奖项为对学术和非学术非营利组织的适应和采用基于证据的策略提供了支持。 Edge Initiative利用了200多名工程院长做出的承诺，以提高2015年工程的股权和多样性。边缘项目将：1）减少工程院长提高招聘，保留，保留率和教师专业进步的能力的机构和系统级别的障碍； 2）进行研究以确定减少障碍是否会促进院长实现教师积极变化的能力。 边缘项目将导致创建国家性别权益指标数据库；以及基于证据的，教师公平领导力资源和战略的集中化和传播。 ASEE Edge倡议将通过解决文化变革的障碍来提高工程院长的知识和理解，以进行有意的，基于研究的变更，以促进教师的公平。这项工作基于三个前提：1）我们对工程教师文化了解很多； 2）需要改变工程教师的文化变革，并且可以完成； 3）院长可以为改变工程教师文化提供领导才能。 Edge倡议将通过研究Edge项目对工程院长行动的影响来提高知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
