The University of Nevada Las Vegas will lead a collaborative ADVANCE Partnership project with colleagues at the University of Maryland College Park, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Purdue University, Georgia State University and the American Political Science Association (APSA) to implement a project to address sexual harassment in Political Science. The project will support the wider adaptation of empirically-tested interventions such as department climate studies, upstanding bystander training, department-level facilitated dialogues, and policy changes that support an improved climate. The project capitalizes on the power that professional associations have to model, facilitate, and incentivize change in the climate and culture of the disciplines they serve through a substantial partnership with the APSA. The project has the potential to reach across the entire discipline into the 125 PhD-granting departments and approximately 1,125 BA and MA departments of political science. This discipline-wide approach is truly national in scope, and this program will be shared with other disciplines as a model for other professional organizations. The main output of this project will be the Climate Toolkit to incentivize and empower political science departments to: improve awareness and practices; achieve significant, measurable improvements in the overall climate in academic departments; and increase department-level attention to broader inclusion issues. The project will result in new understanding of 1) interinstitutional incentivization of organizational change, 2) the prevalence of sexual harassment across academic department cultures, 3) the efficacy of bystander training for effecting changes in institutional cultures 4) diological approaches to improving workplace climate, and 5) the relationship between improved workplace relationships and the ability to adopt equity-focused policy through shared governance structures. 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 to collaborations among STEM professional societies and academic and non-academic non-profit organizations designed to broaden the implementation of evidence-based equity strategies and have a national or regional reach.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.

内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校将与马里兰大学学院公园分校、马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校、普渡大学、乔治亚州立大学和美国政治学协会（APSA）的同事共同领导一个ADVANCE伙伴合作项目，以实施一个解决政治学领域性骚扰问题的项目。该项目将支持更广泛地采用经过经验检验的干预措施，如部门气候研究、公正的旁观者培训、部门层面的便利对话以及支持改善气候的政策变化。该项目利用了专业协会的力量，通过与APSA的实质性合作，促进和激励他们所服务的学科的气候和文化的变化。该项目有可能覆盖整个学科，包括125个授予博士学位的部门和大约1125个政治科学学士和硕士部门。这种学科范围内的方法是真正的全国性的，这个项目将与其他学科共享，作为其他专业组织的典范。该项目的主要产出将是气候工具包，以激励和授权政治科学部门：提高认识和实践；在学术部门的整体氛围方面取得显著的、可衡量的改善；加强部门层面对更广泛的包容性问题的关注。该项目将带来以下方面的新认识：1)组织变革的机构间激励；2)性骚扰在学术部门文化中的普遍存在；3)旁观者培训对机构文化变化的影响；4)改善工作场所气候的心理学方法；5)改善工作场所关系与通过共享治理结构采用以公平为重点的政策的能力之间的关系。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“伙伴关系”奖为STEM专业协会、学术和非学术非营利组织之间的合作提供支持，旨在扩大基于证据的公平战略的实施，并具有国家或地区影响力。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。
