ADVANCE Adaptation: Institutionalizing Normative Changes for Recruitment, Empowerment, Advancement, and Systematic Equity for STEM Faculty (INCREASE)

佛罗里达州立大学（FSU） ADVANCE Adaptation项目INCREASE旨在改善FSU所有STEM教师的工作场所文化和气候。这项工作将建立在当前努力的基础上，以增加STEM领域中代表性不足的教师的招聘、赋权、晋升和系统公平。该项目采用国家和机构的最佳做法，以适应与环境相关的可持续变革。该项目侧重于适应STEM部门和学院层面的系统性变革。主要举措包括实施以股票为重点的政策举措；在FSU内部和外部为教师提供辅导的队列网络；加强对部门具体问题和机会的理解。FSU ADVANCE将产生有关STEM教师经验模式的知识。学习到的最佳实践将与其他机构以及我们的顾问委员会、区域和国家网络以及联邦实验室代表的STEM合作伙伴分享。FSU项目将战略性地整合与美国科学促进会海洋变化倡议的协调，该倡议是一项国家努力，旨在表彰高等教育机构在支持多样性、公平和包容性方面的卓越努力。该项目关注在STEM学术生涯中代表性不足的有色人种女性STEM教师的经历和挑战。FSU ADVANCE将评估随着时间的推移，对部门，队列和个别教师的适应的影响。报告、出版物、政策传播和项目活动将在FSU ADVANCE网站上共享。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“适应”奖为高等教育的学术、非营利机构以及非学术、非营利组织适应和采用循证战略提供支持。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。

The Florida State University (FSU) ADVANCE Adaptation project INCREASE aims to improve the workplace culture and climate for all STEM faculty at FSU. This work will build on current efforts to increase the recruitment, empowerment, advancement, and systemic equity of underrepresented faculty in STEM fields. This project adapts national and institutional best practices for contextually relevant and sustainable change. The project focuses on adaptations for systemic change at the STEM department and college level. The key initiatives include implementing equity-focused policy initiatives; empowering faculty with mentored cohort networks internal and external to FSU; and enhancing understanding of department-specific issues and opportunities. FSU ADVANCE will generate knowledge on patterns in STEM faculty experiences. Best practices learned will be shared with other institutions as well as STEM partners represented on our advisory board, regional and national networks, and federal laboratories. The FSU project will strategically integrate coordination with the AAAS SEA Change initiative which is a national effort to recognize excellence in efforts to support diversity, equity and inclusion by institutions of higher education. This project attends to the experiences and challenges of women of color STEM faculty that are underrepresented in STEM academic careers. FSU ADVANCE will assess the impact of the adaptations over time, for departments, cohorts, and individual faculty. Reports, publications, policy dissemination, and project activities will be shared on the FSU ADVANCE website. 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.
