The Nevada State College (NSC) Pursuing Equity to Enhance Retention (PEER) project will address workload disparities in female and underrepresented minority faculty using an intersectional lens to establish institutional support for scholarship at a teaching-intensive institution. NSC is a minority-serving institution (MSI) with Hispanic-Serving (HSI) and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPSI) designations in an Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) jurisdiction. Invisible service disproportionally impacts women and other underrepresented faculty. The PEER project will adapt and implement evidence-based systemic change to address the intersectionality of women in STEM and reverse power dynamics by creating transparent workloads as well as providing scholarship and psychosocial support to improve faculty job satisfaction, research/publication, and tenure/promotion. The results of this project will help inform best practices to support women of color in STEM at a MSI.The specific aims of the PEER Project are to address three institutional challenges identified by female and underrepresented racial minority STEM faculty at NSC, including: 1) inequitable service and teaching loads, 2) lack of recognition and rewards for invisible service, and 3) inadequate scholarship and career development support. To address these challenges, PEER Project objectives include: 1) improving PEER EQUITY via development of faculty workload dashboards and department equity plans to ensure fair distribution of teaching and service loads, 2) increasing PEER RECOGNITION via development and implementation of academic policies that mitigate workload imbalance and reward invisible service, and 3) enhancing PEER SUPPORT mechanisms by revising and bolstering extant services that prioritize professional development and collaborative mentorship for faculty identities to increase belonging and scholarship productivity in STEM. The PEER project will support the full inclusion of all women and historically underrepresented STEM faculty and will disassemble institutional barriers in academia. The project will have a major impact on the teaching and research infrastructures at NSC by developing a core STEM faculty. Expected project outcomes include an evidence base for the feasibility and efficacy of project activities that improve faculty retention and capacity for research, as evidenced by attainment of extramural funding, peer-reviewed publications, and career longevity. 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 "Adaptation" awards provide support for the adaptation and adoption of evidence-based strategies to academic, non-profit institutions of higher education as well as non-academic, non-profit organizations.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.

内华达州州立学院“追求公平以提高保留率”项目将利用交叉透镜解决女性和代表性不足的少数民族教师的工作量差距问题，为教学密集型机构的奖学金提供机构支持。NSC是一个少数民族服务机构（MSI）与西班牙裔服务（HSI）和亚裔美国土著美国人太平洋岛民服务机构（AANAPSI）指定在既定计划，以刺激竞争研究（EPSCoR）管辖。无形的服务对妇女和其他代表性不足的教师产生了不利影响。该对等项目将适应和实施循证系统性变革，以解决妇女在干的交叉性，并通过创建透明的工作量以及提供奖学金和心理社会支持，以提高教师的工作满意度，研究/出版物和任期/推广扭转权力动态。该项目的结果将有助于通知最佳做法，以支持在干在MSI的有色人种妇女。该项目的具体目标是解决三个机构的挑战，确定由女性和代表性不足的少数种族干教师在NSC，包括：1）不公平的服务和教学负荷，2）缺乏认可和奖励无形的服务，和3）奖学金和职业发展支持不足。为了应对这些挑战，对等项目的目标包括：1）通过教师工作量仪表板和部门公平计划的发展，以确保教学和服务负荷的公平分配，提高同行公平，2）通过制定和实施减轻工作量不平衡和奖励无形服务的学术政策，提高同行认可，和3）通过修改和支持现有的服务，优先考虑专业发展和教师身份的协作指导，以提高STEM的归属感和奖学金生产力，加强同行支持机制。该项目将支持所有女性和历史上代表性不足的STEM教师的充分包容，并将拆除学术界的体制障碍。该项目将通过培养核心STEM教师，对NSC的教学和研究基础设施产生重大影响。预期的项目成果包括项目活动的可行性和有效性的证据基础，以提高教师的保留和研究能力，如获得校外资金，同行评审的出版物和职业寿命。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“适应”奖为学术、非营利高等教育机构以及非学术、非营利组织提供基于证据的战略适应和采用支持。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。
