ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award

该项目的目标是通过改变机构做法、政策、氛围和文化，促进发展一支国家科学和工程学术队伍，其中包括妇女充分参与各级教师和学术领导，特别是高级学术职位。密歇根大学提议采取三种不同类型的干预措施，以改善基础科学和工程领域终身教职女教师的机会和环境。这些措施包括：（1）校园气候倡议，将侧重于活动（例如，讲习班、焦点小组、气候调查、关于增加女性申请人搜索人数的协商），并提供给任何感兴趣的科学或工程单位（2）性别平等资源基金，它将为个人提供新型的直接支持;以及（3）部门改革倡议，这将允许在竞争的基础上为少数单位制定和定制一个有序的活动方案。这个有序的计划（包括内部审查或自学，目标设定，以及一系列针对招聘，保留和/或气候问题的有针对性的活动）将在一个部门内进行持续，承诺的干预，并为其他机构单位提供变革模式。所有三套方案都将由独立研究人员进行评估。 将在整个颁奖过程中采用定性和定量方法进行评价。早期评估的结果将用于修改程序。这个多层次的计划旨在改善密歇根大学科学与工程领域女教师的校园环境，从而提高基础科学领域终身教职女教师的成功招聘、保留和晋升。这些女教师的存在和成功反过来将影响到科学和工程领域的许多男女研究生和本科生的期望和态度。这些人中的许多人将继续有科学和工程事业本身;因为UM培训这么多的学生，预计这个计划的影响将远远超出这所大学。在UM创造一个更公平的环境将影响其他校园通过下一代的科学和工程教师谁将自己培养学生，以及非-学术工作环境，其中科学家和工程师在澳大培训就业。这个项目是由NSF的先进计划的支持。先进计划的总体使命是增加妇女在科学和工程劳动力的参与，通过增加妇女在科学和工程学术界的代表性和地位。

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 at all levels of faculty and academic leadership, particularly at the senior academic ranks, through the transformation of institutional practices, policies, climate and culture. The University of Michigan proposes to undertake three different types of interventions to improve the opportunities and circumstances of tenure-track women faculty in basic scienceand engineering fields. These include: (1) a campus climate initiative, which will focus on activities (e.g., workshops, focus groups, climate surveys, consultation on increasing pools of female applicants in searches) that have been identified, or will be created, and made available to any interested science or engineering unit (a department or college) throughout the University; (2) a gender equity resource fund, which will provide new types of direct support to individuals; and (3) a departmental transformation initiative, which will permit a sequenced program of activities to be developed and tailored to a small number of units on a competitive basis. This sequenced program (including internal review or self-study, goal-setting, and a series of targeted activities addressing recruitment, retention and/or climate issues) will enable a sustained, committed intervention within a single department, as well as provide a model of change for other institutional units. All three sets of programs will be evaluated by independent researchers. Evaluations will be conducted throughout the course of the Award, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Results of early evaluations will be used to revisePrograms. This multi-level program is designed to improve the campus environment for womenfaculty in science and engineering at the University of Michigan, and as a result to increase the successful recruitment, retention and promotion of tenure-track women faculty in basic science fields. The presence and success of these women faculty will in turn affect the expectations and attitudes of the many women and men who are graduate and undergraduate students in science and engineering fields. Many of these individuals will go on to have science and engineering careers themselves; because UM trains so many students, it is anticipated that the impact of this program will reach well beyond this university. Creation of a more equitable climate at UM will affect other campuses through the next generation of science and engineering faculty who will themselves train students, as well as non-academic work settings in which scientists andengineers trained at UM are employed.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.
