The ADVANCE Partnership project called the “Kindling Inter-university Networks for Diverse Engineering Faculty Advancement in the California State University (CSU) System project (KIND)” will bring together four CSU campuses—CSU, Fresno; CSU, Los Angeles; San Jose State University; and California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo—to establish a system-wide program to develop, deliver, and test systemic interventions that support the hiring, retention, and promotion of women in the CSU engineering professoriate. The KIND project partners with the NSF INCLUDES ASPIRE Institutional Change Network, which uses a data driven self-assessment to identify inequities in faculty recruitment, retention, and advancement to support systemic change. The goal of this project is to bring about organizational changes to address systemic gender inequities that impact faculty on the CSU engineering faculty, particularly women from racial and ethnic groups that are underrepresented in science and engineering in the US (women of color), and women that were born and/or trained in science and engineering outside of the US (foreign-born/foreign-trained (FB/FT) faculty). This work is significant as it will help to understand and address systemic gender equity issues that are similar and different for FB/FT faculty and for domestic racially and ethnically diverse faculty.The KIND project will 1) create a secured dashboard containing currently unavailable demographic data related to faculty hiring, retention, and promotion in engineering colleges across the CSU system; 2) use the dashboard to review current policies/practices to identify barriers in the recruitment and retention of women faculty with attention to faculty of color and foreign-born/foreign-trained faculty, and to propose new policies/practices, and 3) create the first CSU-wide Inter-Campus Networking and Mentoring Program for engineering faculty. This work has the potential to impact a significant number of current and future engineering students as the CSU system enrolls and trains one out of every fifteen engineering students in the U.S. In the CSU system about 25% of engineering students are of Hispanic origin, 20% are women, and 16% are Asian. The KIND project will advance understanding of research, practices, and policies that bring about systemic changes to support equity for all diverse groups in the CSU engineering professoriate.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 for projects that scale-up evidence based systemic change strategies to enhance gender equity for STEM faculty regionally or nationally. This project is also supported by the NSF Directorate for Engineering's Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) program.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伙伴关系项目称为“加州州立大学（CSU）系统项目（KIND）中促进不同工程学院发展的大学间网络”，将汇集CSU的四个校区--弗雷斯诺的CSU、洛杉矶的CSU、圣何塞的州立大学、和加州理工大学，圣路易斯奥比斯波-建立一个系统范围的计划，以开发，提供，并测试系统的干预措施，支持雇用，保留，并促进妇女在CSU工程教授。 KIND项目与NSF INCLUDES ASPIRE机构变革网络合作，该网络使用数据驱动的自我评估来识别教师招聘，保留和晋升中的不公平现象，以支持系统性变革。该项目的目标是带来组织变革，以解决影响CSU工程系教师的系统性性别不平等问题，特别是来自美国科学和工程领域代表性不足的种族和民族群体的女性（有色人种女性），以及出生和/或在美国以外接受科学和工程培训的女性（外国出生/外国培训（FB/FT）教师）。 这项工作是重要的，因为它将有助于理解和解决系统性的性别平等问题，是相似的和不同的FB/FT教师和国内种族和民族多元化的教师。KIND项目将1）创建一个安全的仪表板，包含目前不可用的人口统计数据有关教师招聘，保留，并在整个CSU系统的工程学院晋升; 2）使用仪表板来审查当前的政策/做法，以确定在招聘和女教师的关注有色人种和外国出生/外国培训的教师保留的障碍，并提出新的政策/做法，和3）创建第一个CSU范围内的校园间网络和指导计划工程教师。这项工作有可能影响大量的当前和未来的工程专业学生，因为CSU系统招收和培训了美国每15名工程专业学生中的一名。KIND项目将促进对研究，实践，和政策，带来系统性的变化，以支持在CSU工程教授的所有不同群体的公平。NSF ADVANCE计划旨在通过重点识别和消除组织障碍，阻碍学术机构的多元化教师的充分参与和进步，促进性别平等。平等可能存在于政策、流程、实践以及组织文化和氛围中。ADVANCE“伙伴关系”奖为扩大基于证据的系统性变革战略的项目提供支持，以增强STEM教师在区域或国家范围内的性别平等。该项目还得到了NSF工程理事会的扩大工程参与（BPE）计划的支持。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。
