ADVANCE Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination Award: PAID at Idaho State University

爱达荷州州立大学的WeLEAD计划制定和实施干预措施，以增加STEM教师的数量，并改善他们向教授和领导职位的发展。该计划为新的副教授赞助职业发展研讨会，以及年度研究研讨会;促进内部和外部赠款申请;并为STEM教师提供参加领导力研讨会的机会。种子补助金和旅行基金被授予开发新的研究计划，并促进合作研究项目，手稿和赠款建议。为了保持管道充分的中期职业干预，网络机会提供与STEM教师在现场面试与候选人见面，并重新与他们在新的教师方向和预定的活动。这一建议的智力价值包括获得一个清晰的理解，如何促进STEM教师的模型可以有效地应用到一个地理上孤立和经济上处于不利地位的机构。该项目的更广泛影响最大限度地发挥了科学家作为爱达荷州有抱负的科学家的学术领袖和榜样的贡献，并成为促进教师不分学科或性别的典范。

The WeLEAD program at Idaho State University develops and implements interventions to increase the number and improve the progression of STEM faculty to full professor and into leadership positions. The program sponsors career development workshops for new associate professors, as well as an annual research symposium; facilitates internal and external grant applications; and provides opportunities for STEM faculty to attend leadership workshops. Seed grants and travel funds are awarded for developing new research programs, and to facilitate collaborative research projects, manuscripts, and grant proposals. To keep the pipeline full for mid-career interventions, networking opportunities are provided with STEM faculty by meeting with candidates at the on-site interview, and reconnect with them at new faculty orientation and scheduled events. The intellectual merits of this proposal include obtaining a clear understanding of how models for promoting STEM faculty can be applied effectively to a geographically isolated and economically disadvantaged institution. The broader impacts of the project maximize the contribution of scientists as academic leaders and role models for aspiring scientists in Idaho, as well as to serve as a model for advancing faculty regardless of discipline or gender.
