ADVANCE Partnership: Multi-Campus Transformation Equity Network (MCTEN)

圣地亚哥州立大学和加州大学圣地亚哥分校合作，改善STEM中女性和其他代表性较低的少数族裔教师的指导、赞助、网络以及机构和学科领导能力。我们的多校区转型和公平网络(MCTEN)将专注于变革性的干预措施，创建和提升强大的跨校区教职员工网络，他们将巩固现有的变革，催化新的努力，并将南加州打造为STEM多样性、包容性和卓越的地区中心。采用小组、网络和社区建设的方法，特别注重交叉性，将建立持久的机构内和机构间联系，以支持科学和工程等STEM领域和学院的有意义和可持续的变化。在圣地亚哥，为了充分利用来自不同种族、种族和性别的教师的创新和研究优势，并充分服务于圣地亚哥地区满足国家关键STEM劳动力需求的学生，这种地区性转变至关重要。MCTEN将利用从小团体理论中得出的关于组织变革的见解，将记录和有效的提前干预的创新应用引入多校区、区域网络。我们还将借鉴网络科学，利用网络、网络开发和指导来减少STEM系女性和URM教员报告的孤立和压力生活经历的负面影响。这一合作伙伴关系将加州的大学系统聚集在一个人口结构反映全国趋势的地区，将展示一个地区跨校园的先进干预措施如何支持和增强URM女教职员工的能力，并为所有学者的蓬勃发展提供所需的条件。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“伙伴关系”奖为STEM专业协会与学术和非学术非营利组织之间的合作提供支持，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。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

San Diego State University and the University of California San Diego have partnered to improve mentorship, sponsorship, networking, and institutional and disciplinary leadership capacity for women and other underrepresented minority faculty in STEM. Our Multi-Campus Transformation and Equity Network (MCTEN) will focus on transformative interventions that create and elevate a robust cross-campus network of faculty who will cement existing change, catalyze new efforts, and establish southern California as a regional center for diversity, inclusion and excellence in STEM. Adopting small group, network and community-building approaches, with a specific focus on intersectionality, MCTEN will create lasting intra and inter institutional connections to support meaningful and sustainable change in STEM fields, including sciences and engineering, and the academy. In San Diego, this regional transformation is critical in order to take full advantage of the innovation and research excellence from ethnically, racially and gender diverse faculty, and to adequately serve the students in the San Diego region who meet the critical STEM workforce needs of the nation.MCTEN will bring innovative applications of documented and effective ADVANCE interventions to a multi-campus, regional network, using insights about organizational change drawn from small-group theory. We will also draw from network science, using networking, network development, and mentoring to reduce negative impacts of the lived experiences of isolation and stress reported by women and URM faculty in STEM departments. This partnership, which brings together California’s university systems in a region with demographics that reflect national trends, will demonstrate how ADVANCE interventions across campuses in a region can support and empower URM women faculty and can provide conditions needed for all scholars to thrive. 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.
