The Alabama ADVANCE Partnership for Achieving Gender Equity in STEM will build on prior NSF ADVANCE work at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and other research and literature concerning gender, racial and ethnic equity. The partnership includes the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Alabama A&M University, Miles College and Oakwood University. The project will implement institutional changes at the partner institutions in practices and policies to enhance gender equity and inclusion for STEM faculty in STEM departments. Activities include unconscious bias seminars and workshops with STEM faculty and administrators, training for search and promotion committees, and annual state-wide conferences on gender equity bringing provosts and STEM deans together to discuss strategies that work to enhance equity and inclusion. The partnership will implement evidence-based activities that have been adapted to the context of the partnering institutions designed to lead to new policies or policy changes that promote gender equity for STEM faculty in the academic workplace. The ADVANCE Partnership builds on existing relationships between the Alabama institutions and will coordinate with two Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation programs in Alabama and an NSF INCLUDES project lead by Auburn University. The Auburn INCLUDES project is focused on increasing the quantity and excellence of persons with disabilities in STEM via a regional alliance of twenty-one institutions in the southeast. These strategic partnerships will enhance the sharing of information and result in the establishment of a community of ADVANCE universities in the state and region. 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 "Partnership" awards provide support to collaborations among STEM professional societies and academic and non-academic non-profit organizations designed to broaden the implementation of evidence-based equity strategies and have a national or regional reach.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.

亚拉巴马实现STEM性别平等的ADVANCE伙伴关系将建立在亚拉巴马大学伯明翰分校之前的NSF ADVANCE工作以及其他有关性别，种族和民族平等的研究和文献的基础上。 合作伙伴包括伯明翰的亚拉巴马大学、亨茨维尔的亚拉巴马大学、亚拉巴马A M大学、迈尔斯学院和奥克伍德大学。 该项目将在伙伴机构的做法和政策方面实施体制改革，以加强STEM系的STEM教师的性别平等和包容性。 活动包括与STEM教师和管理人员的无意识偏见研讨会和研讨会，搜索和晋升委员会的培训，以及关于性别平等的年度全州会议，将教务长和STEM院长聚集在一起，讨论有助于增强公平和包容性的战略。该伙伴关系将实施以证据为基础的活动，这些活动已适应合作机构的背景，旨在制定新的政策或政策变革，促进学术工作场所STEM教师的性别平等。 ADVANCE伙伴关系建立在亚拉巴马机构之间的现有关系的基础上，并将与亚拉巴马的两个路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟项目和由奥本大学领导的NSF INCLUDES项目协调。 奥本包容项目的重点是通过东南部21个机构的区域联盟，增加STEM领域残疾人的数量和优秀程度。 这些战略伙伴关系将加强信息共享，并导致在该州和地区建立先进大学社区。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“合作伙伴”奖旨在支持STEM专业协会与学术和非学术非营利组织之间的合作，旨在扩大基于证据的公平战略的实施，并具有国家或地区影响力。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。
