Workshop: ADVANCE and Beyond; Thinking Strategically about Faculty-Based Institutional Change

研讨会将侧重于将多种干预措施联系起来所需的过程，并在不同的机构层面开展工作，以实现系统和文化变革，这些变革将嵌入高等教育机构教职员工的价值观、规范和行为中。讲习班将借鉴过去国家科学基金先期受资助者的经验，记录促进先期机构内体制变革的结构进程。这个项目将记录过去的NSF先期资助者通过多年的经验积累起来的学习的这一重要方面。这些信息将与其他有兴趣进行组织变革的人广泛分享。该讲习班补充了私人投资机构先前关于基于网络的战略工具包的工作，该工具包提供文字和视频资源，描述过去国家科学基金预付资助者的具体干预措施。该工具包帮助组织领导人决定在机构改革努力中包括哪些内容，以加强STEM教职员工的性别平等。这次研讨会将重点讨论过去的国家科学基金预付资助者认为对实现变革目标至关重要的过程问题。初步信息表明，建立一个多元化的领导团队、规划和提供战略沟通以及利用多种变革干预措施等过程都是促进系统性变革的战略。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The workshop will focus on the processes that are needed to link multiple interventions and work at different institutional levels to accomplish systemic and cultural changes that become embedded in the values, norms, and behaviors of faculty working in institutions of higher education. Drawing on the experience of past NSF ADVANCE grantees the workshop will document the structural processes that facilitated the institutional change within ADVANCE institutions. This project will document this important aspect of learning that past NSF ADVANCE grantees have accumulated through many years of experience. This information will be shared broadly with others interested in pursuing organizational change.The workshop complements prior work by the PIs on the web-based StratEGIC Toolkit which provides text and video resources describing specific interventions of past NSF ADVANCE grantees. The toolkit helps organizational leaders decide what to include in an institutional change effort to enhance STEM faculty gender equity. This workshop will focus on issues of process that the past NSF ADVANCE grantees have identified as critical for achieving change goals. Preliminary information suggests that processes such as constructing a diverse leadership team, planning and delivering strategic communication, and leveraging multiple change interventions are all strategies that facilitate systemic change.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.
