Northeastern University will implement an NSF EHR Core Research (ECR) project that uses a multi-method social network analysis to better understand the evolution, operation, and outcomes of a network of grantees from the NSF-funded ADVANCE program. The NSF ADVANCE program has made awards since 2001 to promote systemic change that supports gender equity of the academic science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce. A consequence of the program has been the emergence of a nationwide NSF ADVANCE network of more than 195 universities and STEM organizations, with more than 1,500 individuals. This network includes Principal Investigators (PIs) and co-PIs, project directors and managers, advisory board members, evaluators, STEM faculty at all ranks, and gender and diversity scholars. Many of these participants are, or become, mid- and top-level administrators who potentially spread ideas about how to construct equitable academic workplaces when they move to other institutions, when they serve in various roles on multiple grants, and when they produce scholarship and other publications, therefore extending the reach of the network’s equity-enhancement strategies. The ECR project will examine how the network has multiplied the NSF’s initial investment through the exchange of ideas among STEM organizations.The research project will use a multi-method social network approach to analyze the creation and diffusion of key ideas through the multilayered networks formed through NSF ADVANCE. The project will combine network statistics, textual analysis, and qualitative methods to identify ideas and practices innovated in the network, and patterns and mechanisms of knowledge diffusion. The research will result in an original dataset from multiple sources: grants (dates, type, size, and other general information from the NSF award database), key documents from ADVANCE sites (proposals, reports, and full text conference papers and publications), individuals involved in ADVANCE grants (demographics, bibliometrics, and job histories since 2000), universities (organizational characteristics, for example size, type of institution with Carnegie Classification and IPEDS survey data, and rankings in Best Colleges), and other ADVANCE-related scholarship. The relational data will include ties created through (a) direct collaboration on grants, (b) serving on advisory boards, (c) working at the same university, (d) co-authoring scholarly papers, and (e) citing scholarly work. We also conduct case studies of six ADVANCE-funded institutions with 18 interviews and 20 interviews with other individuals involved in ADVANCE. This research will document and offer insight into how the creation, adoption, and diffusion of innovative ideas by this unique network of university leaders and scholars spurs comprehensive change in higher education institutions, including those without NSF ADVANCE grants. The research will benefit funding agencies and the broader community of higher education professionals who are interested in pursuing equity enhancement in higher education, especially within STEM fields.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.

Northeastern University将实施NSF EHR核心研究（ECR）项目，该项目使用多方法社交网络分析，以更好地了解NSF资助的Advance Advance计划中受赠人网络的演变，操作和成果。自2001年以来，NSF Advance计划已获得奖项，以促进系统性变革，以支持学术科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力的性别平等。该计划的结果是在全国范围内拥有195多个大学和STEM组织的NSF高级网络，拥有1,500多名个人。该网络包括主要研究人员（PIS）和Co-PIS，项目总监和经理，顾问委员会成员，评估人员，STEM教师，以及性别与多样性学者。这些参与者中的许多参与者都是中级和顶级管理人员，他们可能会传播有关如何在迁移到其他机构，在多个赠款中担任各种角色以及生产科学和其他出版物时如何构建公平学术工作的想法，因此扩展了网络股权 - 增强策略的范围。 ECR项目将研究网络如何通过STEM组织之间的思想交换将NSF的初始投资乘以。研究项目将使用多方法社交网络方法来分析通过通过NSF Advance形成的多层网络来分析关键思想的创建和扩散。该项目将结合网络统计，文本分析和定性方法，以确定网络中的思想和实践，以及知识差异的模式和机制。 The research will result in an original dataset from multiple sources: grants (dates, type, size, and other general information from the NSF award database), key documents from ADVANCE sites (proposals, reports, and full text conference papers and publications), individuals involved in ADVANCE grants (demographics, bibliometrics, and job history since 2000), universities (organizational characteristics, for example size, type of institution with Carnegie Classification and IPEDS调查数据以及最佳大学的排名）以及其他与预先相关的科学。关系数据将包括通过（a）赠款直接合作创建的关系，（b）在咨询委员会上任职，（c）在同一大学工作，（d）共同撰写科学论文，以及（e）引用科学工作。我们还对六个预先资助的机构进行了案例研究，并进行了18次访谈和20次访谈。这项研究将记录并提供有关这个独特的大学领导者和学者网络对高等教育机构的全面变化（包括没有NSF提前赠款的人的全面变化）如何创造，采用和扩散创新思想的创造，采用和扩散的见解。这项研究将使资金机构和更广泛的高等教育专业人员社区受益，他们有兴趣追求高等教育的公平性，尤其是在STEM领域内。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来获得的支持。
