项目概要：评价核心 评估核心（EC）将领导对密歇根州促进文化发展计划的评估。 转换（M-PACT）在密歇根大学（UM）。欧盟委员会将采用定量和定性 分析，以评估如何一个队列和集群设计模式的教师招聘，发展和赞助， 它有意针对不成比例地影响代表性不足和/或少数群体的挑战（URM） 团体，不仅可以改善职业经验和有前途的生物医学和健康的成果， 科学研究人员在这一队列，但改变更广泛的机构文化，以支持多样性，公平和 包含（DEI）。为了评估该计划对参与学者的职业生涯和机构气候的影响， 伦理委员会将从参与的学者、赞助者-导师、小组领导、单位导师、单位 领导人，和其他教师在UM。混合方法分析将允许对 M-PACT计划对学者和更广泛的机构的影响，以及潜在的 与这种影响相关的过程。我们的评估框架包括组内和 组间比较，以阐明该计划如何通过目标1影响参与者，目标1评估 利用行政数据评估生产力和职业发展的学术成功成果，以及 目标2，评估M-PACT对职业成功的障碍和促进因素的影响 学者和他们对该计划对其职业生涯的影响的看法，使用调查和访谈数据， 将与在同一单位雇用的匹配的非M-PACT教师进行比较。我们的评估框架还 结合组内和组间比较，以阐明该计划如何影响 更广泛的大学社区URM教师通过Aim 2，它使用广泛的线人采访， 通过Aim 3，它使用全校范围的DEI调查来了解更广泛的大学氛围。这些努力 不仅要对计划的影响进行成熟的最终评估，而且要指导其 实施和不断改进过程。该团队已做好充分准备， 从这些分析中获得的见解，包括赞助商导师的培训和 教师发展课程。通过综合行政结构促进密切沟通， M-PACT将允许持续的质量改进，以优化其最终影响。欧盟委员会还将 通过同行评审的出版物和会议演示传播研究结果，与NIH FIRST联络 协调和评估中心（CEC），并管理数据共享活动，以优化整体 该计划对生物医学和健康科学更大领域的贡献。

PROJECT SUMMARY: EVALUATION CORE The Evaluation Core (EC) will lead assessment of the Michigan Program for Advancing Cultural Transformation (M-PACT) at the University of Michigan (UM). The EC will employ quantitative and qualitative analyses to evaluate how a cohort and cluster design model of faculty hiring, development and sponsorship, which intentionally targets challenges that disproportionately affect underrepresented and/or minoritized (URM) groups, can not only improve the career experiences and outcomes of the promising biomedical and health science researchers in that cohort, but transform broader institutional culture to support diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). To evaluate the program's impact on participating Scholars' careers and institutional climate, the EC will collect data from participating Scholars, Sponsor-Mentors, Cluster Leads, Unit Mentors, Unit Leaders, and other faculty at UM. Mixed-methods analyses will allow for a triangulated understanding of the impact of the M-PACT program on Scholars and on the institution more broadly, as well as of the underlying processes associated with such impact. Our evaluation framework incorporates both within-group and between-group comparisons to elucidate how the program impacts participants via Aim 1, which evaluates academic success outcomes using administrative data to evaluate productivity and career advancement, and Aim 2, which evaluates the effects of M-PACT on the barriers and facilitators of career success for M-PACT Scholars and their perceptions of the program's impact on their careers, using survey and interview data that will be compared to matched non-M-PACT faculty hired in the same units. Our evaluation framework also incorporates both within-group and between-group comparisons to elucidate how the program impacts the wider university community URM faculty via Aim 2, which uses interviews with a broad range of informants, and via Aim 3, which uses campus-wide DEI surveys about the broader university climate. These efforts are intended to permit not only a mature ultimate assessment of the program's impact but also to guide its implementation and inform ongoing process improvement. The team is well positioned to nimbly integrate insights from these analyses into the design of the program, including the training of Sponsor-Mentors and the faculty development curriculum. Close communication, facilitated by the integrated administrative structure of M-PACT, will permit continuous quality improvement to optimize its ultimate impact. The EC team will also disseminate findings via peer-reviewed publications and meeting presentations, liaise with the NIH FIRST Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC), and manage data sharing activity to optimize the overall contributions of the program to the larger field of Biomedical and Health Sciences.
