Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination (PAID): Successfully Navigating Your Career - Advancing Women Faculty in Engineering and Technology at HBCUs

由Prairie View a&m大学的德克萨斯工程实验站提出的预付项目将创建一个精心设计的项目，重点是帮助女性教师成功地在历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的工程和技术学院中导航和晋升教授级别，并进入学术管理部门。这个多方面的项目将提供一系列活动，包括专业发展和领导力研讨会、指导/网络、专业教练、种子基金和女性教员库。参与者将获得定制的相关材料，旨在通过学术渠道促进专业发展。知识价值。这个预付项目的主要目标是为学术生涯道路的不同阶段提供一个工具包，并为HBCUS的女教师提供有关有效策略和有前途的实践的新信息基础。拟议项目的具体目标是：1)开展一系列活动，帮助女性教师在专业发展和成长的同时，将她们留在工程技术学院的hbcu的学术和行政队伍中；2)建立教授亲和社区（PAC）；3)探索主要利益相关者（即院长、系主任/系主任等）的观点；4)建立终身参与的沟通机制；5)向HBCU工程管理人员传播最佳实践。更广泛的影响。该项目将增加女性工程教师在hbcu的保留和发展，这将为hbcu提供更多的女性和少数族裔榜样，并有可能增加hbcu女性和少数族裔毕业生的数量。此外，hbcu对女性工程管理人员的重视将通过改变决策者的面貌来改变制度文化。此外，该项目的研究结果将作为对HBCU管理人员的建议，传播给HBCU的女性工程和技术教师的晋升和保留策略的最佳实践。

The proposed ADVANCE PAID project from the Texas Engineering Experiment Station at Prairie View A&M University will create a well-designed program focused on assisting women faculty in successfully navigating and advancing through the professoriate ranks and entering into academic administration at Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU) in Colleges or Schools of Engineering and Technology. The multi-faceted project will offer an array of activities including professional development and leadership workshops, mentoring/networks, professional Coaches, seed grants, and a female faculty repository. Participants will be provided with customized and relevant materials aimed at promoting professional development through the academic pipeline. Intellectual Merit. The quintessential goal of this ADVANCE PAID project is to generate a toolkit for the different stages of an academic career path and provide a new base of information regarding effective strategies and promising practices for women faculty at HBCUS. The specific objectives of the proposed project are: 1) to develop a continuum of activities that will assist women faculty in their professional development and growth while retaining them within the academic and administrative ranks at HBCUs in Colleges or Schools of Engineering and Technology, 2) to establish Professoriate Affinity Communities (PAC); 3) to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders (i.e. Deans, Department Chairs/Heads, etc.); 4) to establish communication mechanisms for life-long engagement; and 5) to disseminate Best Practices to HBCU Engineering Administrators.Broader Impacts. The project will increase the retention and advancement of women engineering faculty at HBCUs which will provide more women and minority role models at HBCUs and potentially increase the pool of women and minority graduates at HBCUs. Also, the emphasis on women engineering administrators at HBCUs will change the institutional culture by changing the face of the decision-makers. In addition, the findings from the project will be disseminated as recommendations to HBCU administrators on best practices for advancement and retention strategies for women engineering and technology faculty at HBCUs.
