The University of Nevada Las Vegas will lead a collaborative ADVANCE Partnership project with colleagues at the University of Maryland College Park, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Purdue University, Georgia State University and the American Political Science Association (APSA) to implement a project to address sexual harassment in Political Science. The project will support the wider adaptation of empirically-tested interventions such as department climate studies, upstanding bystander training, department-level facilitated dialogues, and policy changes that support an improved climate. The project capitalizes on the power that professional associations have to model, facilitate, and incentivize change in the climate and culture of the disciplines they serve through a substantial partnership with the APSA. The project has the potential to reach across the entire discipline into the 125 PhD-granting departments and approximately 1,125 BA and MA departments of political science. This discipline-wide approach is truly national in scope, and this program will be shared with other disciplines as a model for other professional organizations. The main output of this project will be the Climate Toolkit to incentivize and empower political science departments to: improve awareness and practices; achieve significant, measurable improvements in the overall climate in academic departments; and increase department-level attention to broader inclusion issues. The project will result in new understanding of 1) interinstitutional incentivization of organizational change, 2) the prevalence of sexual harassment across academic department cultures, 3) the efficacy of bystander training for effecting changes in institutional cultures 4) diological approaches to improving workplace climate, and 5) the relationship between improved workplace relationships and the ability to adopt equity-focused policy through shared governance structures. 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.

内华达州拉斯维加斯大学将与马里兰州学院公园大学、马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学、普渡大学、格鲁吉亚州立大学和美国政治学协会（APSA）的同事共同领导一个合作的ADVANCE伙伴关系项目，以实施一个解决政治学中性骚扰问题的项目。该项目将支持更广泛地适应经过实践检验的干预措施，如部门气候研究，正直的旁观者培训，部门一级的促进对话，以及支持改善气候的政策变化。该项目利用了专业协会的力量，通过与APSA的实质性合作，为他们所服务的学科的气候和文化的变化建模，促进和激励。 该项目有可能跨越整个学科进入125个博士授予部门和大约1，125个BA和MA政治学部门。这种学科范围的方法是真正的国家范围内，该计划将与其他学科共享，作为其他专业组织的典范。 该项目的主要产出将是气候工具包，以激励和授权政治学系：提高认识和做法;在学术部门的整体气候方面取得重大的、可衡量的改善;并提高系一级对更广泛的包容性问题的关注。该项目将导致对1）组织变革的机构间激励，2）学术部门文化中性骚扰的普遍性，3）旁观者培训对影响机构文化变革的有效性，4）改善工作场所气氛的方法，以及5）改善工作场所关系与通过共同治理结构采取以公平为重点的政策的能力之间的关系。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。
