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

该佛罗里达州立大学（FSU）先进的适应项目增加旨在改善工作场所的文化和气候的所有干教师在FSU。这项工作将建立在目前的努力，以增加招聘，赋权，进步，并在干领域代表性不足的教师系统公平。该项目采用国家和机构的最佳做法，促进与具体情况相关的可持续变革。 该项目的重点是适应STEM部门和大学一级的系统性变革。关键举措包括实施以公平为重点的政策举措;赋予教师以FSU内部和外部的辅导队列网络;以及加强对部门特定问题和机会的理解。FSU ADVANCE将产生关于STEM教师经验模式的知识。学到的最佳实践将与其他机构以及在我们的咨询委员会，区域和国家网络以及联邦实验室中代表的STEM合作伙伴分享。FSU项目将战略性地整合与AAAS SEA变革倡议的协调，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STEM教师的女性的经验和挑战。FSU ADVANCE将评估随着时间的推移，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。

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.
