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

圣地亚哥州立大学（San Diego State University）和加州大学圣地亚哥分校（University of California San Diego）合作，提高STEM领域女性和其他代表性不足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。我们的多校园转型和公平网络（MCTEN）将专注于变革干预，创造和提升一个强大的跨校园教师网络，他们将巩固现有的变化，催化新的努力，并将南加州建立为STEM领域的多样性、包容性和卓越性区域中心。MCTEN采用小组、网络和社区建设方法，特别关注交叉性，将在机构内部和机构间建立持久的联系，以支持STEM领域（包括科学、工程和学术界）有意义和可持续的变革。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卓越研究成果，并充分为圣地亚哥地区满足国家关键STEM劳动力需求的学生提供服务，这种区域转型至关重要。MCTEN将利用来自小团体理论的关于组织变革的见解，为多校区、区域网络带来记录在案的、有效的ADVANCE干预措施的创新应用。我们还将借鉴网络科学，利用网络、网络发展和指导来减少女性和URM STEM部门教师报告的孤立和压力的生活经历的负面影响。这一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ADVANCE在一个地区的校园干预如何支持和授权加州大学洛杉矶分校的女教师，并为所有学者的发展提供所需的条件。NSF ADVANCE项目旨在通过识别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、过程、实践以及组织文化和气候中。ADVANCE“伙伴关系”奖为STEM专业协会、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力。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

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.
