Missouri State University (MSU) will implement an ADVANCE Catalyst project to conduct an institutional self-assessment to understand the current status of women faculty in STEM disciplines on the main campus. This project will include a review of the current social and behavioral research on: gender equity, work-life balance, underrepresentation of certain groups in STEM, and organizational change. A central part of this project will be to undertake a comprehensive review of retention, promotion, and tenure (RPT) policies and related procedures and practices for each STEM department. The project includes strategies to get direct input and advice from leaders of current and past ADVANCE institutions.This two-year project will prepare the university for future data collection and data analyses of faculty equity which can be used by institutional leadership to inform decision-making. The Catalyst work will also prepare the institution to implement evidence-based strategies to enhance the university climate for all faculty which will be outlined in a five-year faculty equity strategic plan that will be produced as part of this project. 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 "Catalyst" awards provide support for institutional equity assessments and the development of five-year faculty equity strategic plans at an academic, non-profit institution of higher education.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.

密苏里州立大学(MSU)将实施一个高级催化剂项目，以进行机构自我评估，以了解主校区STEM学科女教员的现状。本项目将包括对当前社会和行为研究的回顾：性别平等、工作-生活平衡、某些群体在STEM中代表性不足以及组织变革。该项目的核心部分将是对每个STEM部门的留任、晋升和终身教职(RPT)政策以及相关程序和做法进行全面审查。该项目包括从现在和过去的先进机构的领导人那里获得直接输入和建议的策略。这个为期两年的项目将为大学未来收集和分析教师公平的数据做好准备，机构领导层可以利用这些数据来为决策提供信息。促进会的工作还将使该机构做好准备，实施循证战略，以改善所有教员的大学氛围，这将在作为该项目一部分编制的五年教员公平战略计划中概述。NSF高级方案旨在通过重点确定和消除阻碍学术机构中不同教员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、实践以及组织文化和氛围中。先期“催化剂”奖为学术、非营利性高等教育机构的机构公平评估和五年教师公平战略计划的制定提供支持。该奖项反映了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。
