The overall goal of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)/Tuskegee University (TU) Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation (FIRST) Partnership is to capitalize on the complementary strengths of both partners to create systemic and sustainable cultural change to further support inclusive excellence at both institutions. The goal of the Evaluation Core is to clearly and objectively demonstrate the impact and effectiveness of UAB/TU FIRST Partnership activities as well as collaborate with the FIRST Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC) and other funded grantees to identify and harmonize a set of common data elements informing the transformation of “culture at NIH-funded extramural institutions by building self-reinforcing community of scientist committed to diversity and inclusive excellence.” Given the complexity of this initiative, the evaluation will be conducted by two Co-Leads with extensive experience in the evaluation of large collaborative initiatives. They will bring this history and a successful integrated approach to assess achievement of programmatic goals. The specific aims of the Evaluation Core are: 1) to conduct ongoing process evaluations to track the UAB/TU FIRST Partnership activities; 2) to conduct impact and outcome evaluations to assure that the immediate and long-term goals and specific aims of the UAB/TU FIRST Partnership are being met and to test whether the program achieves significant improvements in metrics of institutional culture and diversity; and 3) to collaborate with the FIRST CEC and other funded grantees to identify metrics, harmonize a set of common data elements, and provide data for evaluation of the FIRST Cohort program. The UAB/TU FIRST Partnership will utilize the Logic Model and its inputs, outputs and outcomes to assess progress. For our program, steps of the Logic Model translate into the following chain of activities: 1) strengthening of the existing collaborative UAB/TU relationships; 2) strengthening the institutional climate of diversity and inclusive excellence at both institutions; 3) implementation of practices and policies that support sustainable cultural change, including the establishment of an Office of Integrated Research Support and Research Navigators; 4) recruitment of clusters of Benjamin-Carver Scientists who are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion; 5) provision of support for Benjamin-Carver Scientists; 6) development of a plan for sustainability of the program; 7) decreasing isolation, increasing community building, and fostering development of new faculty, which, in turn, will lead to: 8) faculty retention; 9) an increase in productivity in terms scholarly activities (grants and publications); 10) an increase in collaboration (e.g., development of new multi-PI investigations, cluster faculty engaging non-cluster faculty, collaborations with communities); and ultimately, 11) an increase in impact through the establishment of an effective model of systemic and sustainable cultural change that can serve as a model for all of UAB, TU, and other universities.

亚拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）/塔斯基吉大学（TU）教师的总体目标 机构招聘促进可持续转型（FIRST）伙伴关系将利用 双方优势互补，创造系统和可持续的文化变革， 在这两个机构的包容性卓越。评估核心的目标是明确和客观地 展示UAB/TU FIRST伙伴关系活动的影响和有效性，并与 FIRST协调和评估中心（CEC）和其他受资助的受赠者确定和协调 一组共同的数据元素，通过以下方式为NIH资助的校外机构的文化转型提供信息： 建立致力于多样性和包容性卓越的自我增强的科学家社区。 鉴于这一举措的复杂性，评价将由两名共同牵头人进行， 具有大型合作项目的评估经验。他们将把这段历史和一个成功的 采用综合办法评估方案目标的实现情况。评价核心的具体目标 是：1）进行持续的过程评估，以跟踪UAB/TU FIRST伙伴关系活动; 2）进行 影响和成果评价，以确保联合国系统的近期和长期目标及具体目标 UAB/TU FIRST合作伙伴关系正在得到满足，并测试该计划是否实现了重大改进 在机构文化和多样性的指标;和3）与第一CEC和其他资助 受资助者确定指标，协调一套共同的数据元素，并提供数据，以评估 FIRST队列计划。 UAB/TU FIRST伙伴关系将利用逻辑模型及其输入、输出和结果， 评估进展。对于我们的程序，逻辑模型的步骤转化为以下活动链： 1)加强现有的合作UAB/TU关系; 2）加强的制度环境， 两个机构的多样性和包容性卓越; 3）实施支持的做法和政策 可持续的文化变革，包括建立综合研究支助办公室， 研究导航员; 4）招募本杰明-卡弗科学家集群，他们致力于推进 多样性，公平和包容性; 5）为本杰明-卡弗科学家提供支持; 6）开发一个 计划的可持续性; 7）减少孤立，增加社区建设，并促进 新教师的发展，这反过来又会导致：8）教师保留; 9）生产力的提高， 术语学术活动（赠款和出版物）; 10）合作的增加（例如，开发新 多PI调查，集群教师参与非集群教师，与社区合作）; 最终，11）通过建立有效的系统和 可持续的文化变革，可以作为所有UAB，TU和其他大学的典范。
