Brooklyn College of the City University of New York will implement an ADVANCE Catalyst project to conduct an institutional self-assessment to understand the status of women faculty in STEM disciplines on the main campus. This project will include the collection and analysis of STEM faculty data to uncover the systemic gender-based inequities that exist at the institution. The project will focus on individuals from underrepresented groups, including women, those from racial/ethnic groups under-represented in STEM areas, and individuals with non-binary gender identities. The project will add 10 years of historical data on all faculty to an existing academic data warehouse including information on salaries, rank at hiring, tenure decisions, history of progression in rank, and work factors such as start-up funding, laboratory resources (space, renovation), and workload flexibility for family needs. The data in the warehouse will be used to determine how the target groups have fared historically in STEM and will be the key resource for assessing equity needs and will provide a long-term data collection system for monitoring the impact of the ADVANCE project as well as other faculty focused efforts. 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.

纽约市立大学布鲁克林学院将实施一个ADVANCE Catalyst项目，进行机构自我评估，以了解主校区STEM学科女教师的状况。该项目将包括收集和分析STEM教师数据，以揭示该机构存在的系统性性别不平等。 该项目将侧重于代表性不足的群体，包括妇女，那些在STEM领域代表性不足的种族/族裔群体，以及具有非二元性别身份的个人。该项目将在现有的学术数据仓库中添加所有教师的10年历史数据，包括工资信息，招聘排名，终身职位决定，排名进展历史，以及工作因素，如启动资金，实验室资源（空间，装修）和家庭需求的工作量灵活性。数据仓库中的数据将用于确定目标群体在STEM中的历史表现，并将成为评估公平需求的关键资源，并将提供长期数据收集系统，用于监测ADVANCE项目的影响以及其他教师重点工作。这个为期两年的项目将为大学未来的数据收集和教师公平的数据分析做好准备，这些数据可以被机构领导用来为决策提供信息。 催化剂的工作还将准备机构实施循证战略，以提高所有教师的大学氛围，这将在五年教师公平战略计划中概述，该计划将作为该项目的一部分产生。 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“催化剂”奖项为学术性、非营利高等教育机构的机构公平评估和五年期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。
