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

项目总结 Drexel First计划的评估核心(EC)以评估为主要目标，使用混合 方法，并与第一协调和评价中心协调，多层次成果 (个人、导师、部门、机构)包括对第一个学院的科学影响进行评估 招聘。欧共体的努力建立在反映公平、包容性和 交叉性，并由概念化我们的变革努力的逻辑模型指导，计划的活动 为期望的变化、即时产出和最终结果做出贡献，这些成果将被跟踪和 有记录在案。具体而言，欧共体将：(1)与指定的第一个“协调和评价”密切合作 中心“帮助设计和实施跨First计划的统一和系统的核心数据集 获奖者；(2)制定和实施针对Drexel First计划活动的评估战略；(3) 向协调和评价中心和我们的行政和管理部门提供形成性评价报告 教师发展核心，为方案调整和改进提供信息；以及(4)评估影响 在德雷克塞尔第一批员工中的多个层次(个人首任教职员工、系、学院和机构) 招聘的结果从个人对包容性和社会孤立性的评级到组织准备程度 和气候。此外，我们将评估第一教员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框架进行的差异研究 在他们的学术领域和水平。最后，由于我们的长期目标是维持一项研究 包容卓越的文化，欧共体将建立一种方法，包括跟踪工具，以持续 机构自我评估、分析和反馈，确保问责和整合第一 计划在赠款期间和之后融入德雷克塞尔的机构生活结构。具体目标 评估核心是：(1)描述和跟踪组成第一个 德雷克塞尔大学的项目；(2)评估德雷克塞尔的第一个项目对机构的影响 结果，包括组织研究环境以及实施和通过FIRST战略， 促进包容性卓越的政策和程序；(3)评估第一个计划的影响 德雷克塞尔对招聘学术单位和新教师自己招聘层面上定义的结果进行了评估， 包括单位文化、指导环境、赞助、其他队列体验(社会隔离、支持) 和职业发展机会，包括出版物、演示文稿、 合作机会、赠款申请和筹资成功；以及(4)评估 第一批关于推进健康差距科学研究的报告。重要的是，欧盟委员会将提供一个 关于我们是否实现了德雷克塞尔的包容性卓越的目标的终结性评估 计划以及如何在资金之外维持这一计划。

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.
