DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although women and men are near parity at early career levels in many research fields, women are underrepresented in senior ranks, leaving unrealized the full potential of their vital contributions to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). The National Academies of Science examined the reasons for inequities in the career advancement of women in STEMM and concluded that biases deeply rooted in assumptions about gender - sometimes conscious but more frequently unconscious - pose the greatest barrier to gender equity. The proposed research confronts this issue through three Specific Aims: Specific Aim #1. Clarify the relationships among department climate, academic productivity, job satisfaction, intent to leave, and attrition for male and female faculty members. This will be accomplished using path analysis and structural equation modeling of existing survey data of STEMM faculty, a new survey wave, and publicly available data. Specific Aim #2. Test the impact of a Bias Literacy Workshop on faculty (a) motivation to respond without bias, (b) equity self-efficacy, (c) positive equity outcomes expectations; and department climate. This will involve a group-randomized controlled trial with 45 matched pairs of STEMM departmental bodies and a workshop intervention that incorporates principles of adult learning and intentional behavioral change. Specific Aim #3. Examine receptivity and resistance to an equity intervention (Bias Literacy Workshop) through verbal and non-verbal cues. This will be accomplished through conversation analysis of video recordings during pilot development of the workshops. This work capitalizes on the synergistic expertise of an interdisciplinary research team, two waves of survey data on over 1100 STEMM faculty and the size of the University of Wisconsin-Madison which enables matching 90 departmental STEMM groups. This project is expected to yield: 1) a measure of institutional change in the form of department climate that correlates with meaningful outcomes, 2) a Bias Literacy Workshop as an equity intervention ready for dissemination, and 3) a taxonomy and set of digital video materials on patterns of faculty responses and real-time communicative strategies that can be used to enhance the effectiveness of the equity intervention. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Institute of Medicine calls for increasing the diversity of leaders in academic health sciences as one effective intervention to reduce and eliminate health disparities among populations in this country. The goal of the proposed work is to promote gender diversity in STEMM academic leaders by understanding the importance of department climate in successful career development and by educating members of the academic community to recognize bias and promote egalitarian behavior toward all groups of women.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然女性和男性在许多研究领域的早期职业水平接近平等，但女性在高级职位中的代表性不足，未实现其对科学，技术，工程，数学和医学（STEMM）的重要贡献的全部潜力。美国国家科学院研究了科学、技术、工程和数学领域女性职业发展不平等的原因，并得出结论认为，根深蒂固的性别偏见-有时是有意识的，但更经常是无意识的-是性别平等的最大障碍。该研究通过三个具体目标来解决这个问题：具体目标#1。厘清系风、学术生产力、工作满意度、离职意愿与男女教职员工流失之间的关系。这将使用路径分析和结构方程建模现有的调查数据的STEMM教师，一个新的调查波，和公开可用的数据来完成。具体目标#2测试偏见识字研讨会对教师的影响（a）动机，以回应没有偏见，（B）公平的自我效能，（c）积极的公平结果的期望;和部门的气氛。这将涉及一项分组随机对照试验，其中包括45对匹配的STEMM部门机构和一个纳入成人学习和故意行为改变原则的研讨会干预。具体目标#3通过语言和非语言线索检查接受性和抵抗公平干预（偏见识字讲习班）。这将通过在讲习班试点期间对录像进行对话分析来实现。这项工作利用了跨学科研究团队的协同专业知识，两波调查数据超过1100个STEMM教师和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的规模，使90个部门的STEMM组匹配。该项目预计将产生：1）与有意义的结果相关的部门气候形式的制度变革的措施，2）偏见扫盲讲习班作为一个公平的干预准备传播，和3）分类和一套数字视频材料的教师的反应和实时沟通策略，可用于提高公平干预的有效性。公共卫生相关性：医学研究所呼吁增加学术健康科学领导者的多样性，作为减少和消除该国人口之间健康差距的有效干预措施。拟议工作的目标是通过了解部门氛围在成功的职业发展中的重要性，并通过教育学术界成员认识到偏见，促进对所有女性群体的平等行为，促进STEMM学术领导者的性别多样性。
