ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award

该项目的目标是通过机构做法、政策、气候和文化的变革，促进国家科学和工程学术队伍的发展，其中包括妇女充分参与各级教职和学术管理，特别是高级学术职级。佐治亚理工学院(佐治亚理工学院)建议对体制因素采取综合办法，以支持妇女在学术科学和工程方面的充分参与和提高，并提供最佳做法的典范。佐治亚理工学院将在以往提高妇女地位的活动和势头的基础上再接再厉。佐治亚理工学院的高级团队包括：教务长和院长、教员和来自四所合作学院的校园领导：计算学院、工程学院、科学学院和伊万·艾伦学院，代表了全方位的科学和工程领域。通过这一项目，佐治亚理工学院将强调影响妇女在科学和工程领域取得成果的组织特点和因素，并将阐明和描述资源、评价过程、组织文化和气候，包括领导力和家庭政策如何影响妇女在领域、职业阶段和家庭/父母地位方面的充分参与和提高。在这样做的过程中，他们将解决向高级职位的关键过渡，以及全面参与学术科学和工程的意义。拟议的活动包括：1)创建一个称为教授的大学间网络，以促进推进的目标；2)将参与终身教职和晋升的委员会的正式培训过程制度化；3)收集和使用资源分配数据以促进公平和发展最佳做法；4)举行女教员、教务长、院长和学校校长的年度务虚会，以审查和完善目标和进展；以及5)加强和扩大家庭友好实践的范围和影响。该项目由国家科学基金会高级计划支持。高级方案的总体任务是通过增加妇女在学术、科学和工程职业中的代表性和地位，增加妇女在科学和工程工作中的参与度。

The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of a national science and engineering academic workforce that includes the full participation of women in all levels of faculty and academic administration, particularly at the senior academic ranks, through the transformation of institutional practices, policies, climate and culture. The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) proposes an integrated approachto institutional factors that will support the full participation and advancement ofwomen, and provide a model of best practices, in academic science and engineering.Georgia Tech will build upon previous activities and momentum for the advancement of women. The Georgia Tech ADVANCE team includes: the Provost and the Deans, faculty, and campus leaders from four cooperating Colleges: Computing, Engineering, Sciences, and Ivan Allen College, representing a full range of science and engineering fields. Through this project, Georgia Tech will emphasize organizational features and factors that shape outcomes for women in science and engineering, and will clarify andportray the ways in which resources, processes of evaluation, organizational cultureand climate, including leadership, and family policies affect the full participationand advancement of women by field, career-stage, and family/parental status. Indoing so, they will address critical transitions to senior status, and the meaning of fullparticipation in academic science and engineering. Proposed activities include1) creating an inter-college network of termed professorships that promotes the goals of ADVANCE; 2) institutionalizing a formal training process for committees involved in tenure and promotion; 3) collecting and using resource-allocation data for equity and development of best practices; 4) holding annual retreats of women faculty, provost, deans, and school chairs to review and refine goals and progress; and 5) strengthening and extending the scope and impact of family-friendly practices.This project is supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program. The overall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.
