Professional societies play a critical role in the advancement of PhDs in academia and industry by setting standards of excellence through policies and practices. They set the tone for culture and climate within STEM disciplines. For industrial engineering and operations research (IEOR), the two societies that establish field norms are the IISE (Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers) and INFORMS (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences). Professional organizations shape engineers’ academic identity and determine what is valued and rewarded in their disciplines. The NSF ADVANCE LINEAGE project will partner with these global professional organizations to address systemic causes of inequity for women of color by integrating positive organizational scholarship (POS) with the Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) framework. LINEAGE will evaluate the hypothesis that through these organizations it is possible to transform a field and systemically change culture and climate within the field. Through the co-creation of affinity groups (AG) with IISE and INFORMS, this project aims to achieve systemic changes in academic workplaces and the profession that will improve the recruitment, retention, and success of women of color in these disciplines. This project is informed by prior work to understand the impact of AGs in academia and industry funded by the NSF Directorate for Engineering (NSF 2024569). This prior work provides evidence that AGs have the potential to produce systemic change in academic workplaces and in the professions. The LINEAGE project focuses on AGs in professional societies, rather than individual institutions, because 1) women of color are often the “only” in their home departments, which creates an isolated environment, and 2) professional societies reach individuals at all stages of their careers, from PhD to full professors. LINEAGE will partner with the EBJ NSF INCLUDES funded Aspire Alliance to learn from the iThrive Collective (intentional counterspaces to address issues identified by underrepresented faculty). 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 the adaptation and adoption of evidence-based strategies to academic, non-profit institutions of higher education and 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.

专业社会通过通过政策和实践设定卓越标准来在学术界和行业中的博士学位发展中发挥着至关重要的作用。他们为茎学科内的文化和气候定下了基调。对于工业工程和运营研究（IEOR），建立现场规范的两个社会是IISE（工业与系统工程师研究所）和Informs（运营研究所和管理科学研究所）。专业组织塑造了工程师的学术身份，并确定其学科中有价值和奖励的内容。 NSF Advance Sineage项目将与这些全球专业组织合作，通过将积极的组织科学（POS）与六Sigma DMAIC（定义，测量，分析，改进和控制）框架相结合，以解决有色女性不平等的原因。血统将评估以下假设：通过这些组织，可以改变领域并系统地改变该领域的文化和气候。通过与IISE和ISES的共同创建（AG），该项目旨在实现学术工作和专业的系统性变化，以改善这些学科中有色妇女的招聘，保留和成功。该项目已通过先前的工作来了解NSF工程局（NSF 2024569）资助的AGS对学术界和行业的影响。这项先前的工作提供了证据，表明AG有可能在学术工作和专业中产生系统性变化。该血统项目的重点是专业社会的AG，而不是各个机构，因为1）有色妇女通常是其内部部门中的“唯一”，这会创造一个孤立的环境，而2）专业社会在从博士学位到正常教授到正常教授的职业生涯的各个阶段都可以触及个人。 Lineage将与EBJ NSF合作，包括资助的Aspire Alliance，向Ithrive Collective学习（有意解决了代表性不足的教师所确定的问题）。 NSF Advance计划旨在通过关注和消除阻碍各种教师在学术机构中的全面参与和进步的组织障碍来促进性别平等。抑制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。提前的“伙伴关系”奖项为适应和采用基于循证的策略对高等教育和非学术非营利性组织的学术策略提供了支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的。
