Catalyzing Systemic Change at Drexel University to Support Diverse Faculty in Health Disparities Research

项目摘要 德雷克塞尔第一计划的评估核心（EC）的主要目标是评估，使用混合 方法，并与FIRST协调和评估中心协调，多层次的成果 （个人，导师，部门，机构），包括对第一学院的科学影响的评估 雇用。欧盟委员会的努力立足于反映公平、包容性和 交叉性，并以逻辑模型为指导，将我们的变革努力概念化，计划开展的活动 有助于实现预期的变化、即时产出和将被跟踪的最终成果， 记录在案。具体而言，欧盟委员会将：（1）与指定的第一个“协调和评估”小组密切合作， 中心”，以帮助设计和实施一个统一的和系统的核心数据集在整个第一计划 （2）制定并实施针对德雷克塞尔FIRST计划活动的评估策略;（3） 向协调和评估中心以及我们的行政部门提供形成性评估报告， 教师发展核心，为课程调整和改进提供信息;以及（4）评估影响 在德雷克塞尔的第一队列的多个层次（个人第一教师雇用，部门，学院和机构） 从个人对包容性和社会隔离的评级到组织准备程度， 和气候。此外，我们将评估FIRST教师在推进健康科学方面的科学影响 使用国家少数民族健康和差异研究所框架进行差异研究， 在他们的奖学金领域和水平解决。最后，由于我们的长期目标是维持研究 为了实现包容性卓越文化，欧盟委员会将建立一种方法，包括跟踪工具， 机构的自我评估、分析和反馈，确保问责制和第一个机构的一体化 在赠款有效期内及之后，将项目纳入德雷克塞尔的机构生活结构。具体目标 评价核心的主要内容是：（1）表征和跟踪构成FIRST的各个组成部分 （2）评估德雷克塞尔大学FIRST计划对机构的影响 结果包括组织研究气候和实施和采用第一战略， 政策和流程，以促进包容性卓越;（3）评估第一计划的影响， 德雷克塞尔对结果的定义在招聘学术单位的水平和新的教师雇用自己， 包括单位文化、辅导环境、赞助、其他群体经验（社会隔离、支持） 和职业发展机会，包括出版物、演讲、 合作机会，赠款申请和资助成功;（4）评估 第一队列推进健康差距研究的科学。重要的是，欧盟委员会将提供一个 总结性评估，以确定我们是否实现了德崇第一的包容性卓越目标 计划以及如何在资金之外维持计划。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Evaluation Core (EC) for the Drexel FIRST Program has as its main goal to evaluate, using mixed methods, and in coordination with the FIRST Coordination and Evaluation Center, multi-level outcomes (individual, mentors, department, institution) including an evaluation of scientific impact of the FIRST Faculty hires. The efforts of the EC are grounded in theoretical frameworks reflecting equity, inclusivity and intersectionality, and are guided by a logic model conceptualizing our change efforts, the activities planned to contribute to desired changes, the immediate outputs and ultimate outcomes that will be tracked and documented. Specifically the EC will: (1) work closely with the designated FIRST “Coordination and Evaluation Center” to help design and implement a uniform and systematic core data set across FIRST Program awardees; (2) develop and implement an evaluation strategy specific to Drexel FIRST Program activities; (3) provide formative evaluative reports to the Coordination and Evaluation Center and our Administrative and Faculty Development Cores to inform programmatic adjustments and improvements; and (4) evaluate impacts at multiple levels (individual FIRST faculty hire, department, college and institution) of Drexel’s FIRST Cohort hires on outcomes ranging from individual ratings of inclusivity and social isolation to organizational readiness and climate. Furthermore, we will evaluate scientific impact of FIRST faculty in advancing the science of health disparities research using the National Institute of Minority Health and Disparities framework to identify domains and levels addressed in their scholarship. Finally, as our long-term goal is to sustain a research culture of inclusive excellence, the EC will establish an approach including tracking tools for continuous institutional self-assessment, analysis and feedback, assuring accountability and integration of the FIRST Program into the fabric of institutional life at Drexel during the life of the grant and thereafter. The specific aims of the Evaluation Core are: (1) To characterize and track the various components that compose the FIRST program at Drexel University; (2) To evaluate the impact of the FIRST program at Drexel on institutional outcomes including organizational research climate and implementation and adoption of FIRST strategies, policies, and processes to promote inclusive excellence; (3) To evaluate the impact of the FIRST program at Drexel on outcomes defined at the level of the hiring academic units and the new faculty hires themselves, including unit culture, mentoring environment, sponsorship, other cohort experiences (social isolation, support) and career progression opportunities including productivity as reflected in publications, presentations, collaborative opportunities, grant submissions and funding successes; and (4) To evaluate the impact of the FIRST Cohort on advancing the science of health disparities research. Importantly, the EC will provide a summative evaluation as to whether we have achieved the goal of inclusive excellence of the Drexel FIRST Program and how it can be sustained beyond funding.
