The ADVANCE- Catalyst: AGREE project will support a two-year self-study at Bucknell University, a primarily undergraduate institution in rural Pennsylvania, to identify any existence of systemic inequities and advancement barriers related to gender, race and ethnicity in STEM faculty through an intersectional approach. Informed by quantitative and qualitative data, the project aims to develop and implement a plan to remove such barriers, solidify evidence-based best practices that support faculty success, establish a review mechanism that allows frequent reflection and improvements in institutional policies, build a supportive community where all members of Bucknell enjoy equitable resources and opportunities, thus extending the ADVANCE network, and produce generalizable strategies to extend the impact from this project to all faculty on Bucknell campus and those at institutions similar to Bucknell. This project will bring significant insights into issues facing women and underrepresented minority (URM) faculty that are unique to STEM disciplines and in a primarily undergraduate institution that strives to enhance diversity in students, faculty and staff.The ADVANCE- Catalyst: AGREE project aims to uncover systemic inequities centered around recruitment, retention, and promotion processes facing women and faculty members underrepresented in STEM disciplines. The project adopts an intersectional approach to collect quantitative and qualitative data from faculty through questionnaires and focused small group interviews followed by comprehensive analysis. The project will investigate factors that are unique at different career stages such as pre-hiring recruitment, tenure-review, and promotion and advancement to track the career progression of faculty of different genders and racial/ethnic backgrounds. The comprehensive self-study is expected to bring insights into addressing the historical and emerging barriers to equity and inclusion facing women and faculty who are underrepresented minorities in STEM. The outcomes of the self-study will enable the institution to improve strategies to support and retain more women and underrepresented minorities in all disciplines. The implementation of these strategies will also provide generalizable practices to liberal arts institutions. 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.

ADVANCE-催化剂：AGREE项目将支持在巴克内尔大学进行为期两年的自学，巴克内尔大学是宾夕法尼亚州农村的一所主要的本科院校，通过交叉方法确定STEM教师中存在的任何与性别，种族和民族相关的系统性不平等和进步障碍。通过定量和定性数据的通知，该项目旨在制定和实施一项计划，以消除这些障碍，巩固支持教师成功的循证最佳实践，建立一个审查机制，允许经常反思和改进机构政策，建立一个支持性的社区，巴克内尔的所有成员都享有公平的资源和机会，从而扩展ADVANCE网络，并制定可推广的策略，将该项目的影响扩展到巴克内尔校园的所有教师以及与巴克内尔类似的机构。该项目将带来对妇女和代表性不足的少数民族（URM）教师所面临的问题，是独特的STEM学科，并在一个主要的本科院校，努力提高学生，教师和工作人员的多样性的重要见解。ADVANCE-催化剂：AGREE项目旨在揭示围绕招聘系统的不平等，保留，并面临STEM学科的女性和教师代表性不足的晋升过程为中心。本研究采用交叉研究的方法，通过问卷调查和小组访谈收集教师的定量和定性数据，然后进行综合分析。该项目将调查不同职业阶段的独特因素，如招聘前招聘，任期审查，晋升和晋升，以跟踪不同性别和种族/民族背景的教师的职业发展。全面的自我研究预计将带来深入的见解，以解决妇女和教师在STEM中代表性不足的少数民族所面临的公平和包容的历史和新出现的障碍。自学的结果将使该机构能够改进战略，以支持和留住更多的妇女和代表性不足的少数民族在所有学科。这些策略的实施，亦会为博雅教育院校提供可推广的实践。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。
