ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award: Advancing Women in Science, Math and Engineering at Marshall

该项目的目标是赋予管理人员和女性科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教师的强大核心能力，以发起和维护机构气候变化，并提高女性教师的招聘和成功。该计划提供了一个独特的环境，在其中测试教师管理伙伴关系的重要模式，以便在主要是本科院校和西弗吉尼亚州(WV)高等教育系统内实施变革。该计划将通过一种综合的方法影响四所马歇尔大学学院的STEM教员，该计划包括1)招聘和联网计划，以采用激进的战略来增加女性STEM教员的数量；2)教员发展计划，以提供多种方法来帮助新教员平衡和整合教学和研究责任，并促进STEM教员之间的合作；3)研究增强计划，以提高教员的研究能力，并提供资源，使各系能够更好地吸引和留住有才华的女教员；4)国家和机构政策变化倡议，专门侧重于改变大学和州政府的政策，这些政策被确定为是对马歇尔大学女STEM教员晋升的重大障碍。

The goal of this project is to empower a strong core of administrators and female science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty to initiate and maintain institutional climate change, and improve the recruitment and success of female faculty. The Program provides a unique setting in which to test an important model of faculty administrator partnership for implementing change at a primarily undergraduate institution and within the West Virginia (WV) higher education system. The Program will impact STEM faculty in four Marshall University Colleges through an integrated approach comprised of 1) The Recruitment and Networking Initiative to apply aggressive strategies to increase the number of female STEM faculty; 2) The Faculty Development Initiative to provide multiple methods to help new faculty balance and integrate teaching and research responsibilities, and to foster collaboration among STEM faculty; 3) The Research Enhancement Initiative to improve faculty research capabilities, and provide resources that enable departments to better attract and retain talented female faculty; and 4) The State and Institutional Policy Changes Initiative specifically focused on changing university and state policies identified to be significant barriers to the advancement of female STEM faculty at Marshall.
