I3: Strengthening the Professoriate at Iowa State University (SPISU): A Campus Network to Enable Strong Science and Diverse Communities

学术价值：加强爱荷华州立大学(SPISU)的教授队伍，通过创建一个专注于将更广泛的影响努力整合到他们的研究事业中的学者社区，加强和多样化教授队伍。SPISU汇集了许多由NSF资助的校园项目，这些项目的共同使命是扩大未被充分代表的少数群体和妇女在STEM领域的参与，目标是建立网络，整合并持续个人和多名调查员项目的努力。社区还包括博士后学者和高级研究生，他们在教师的指导下发展所需的意识和技能，以制定更广泛的影响计划，以补充他们的研究技能。该项目支持以下主要成果：(1)制定协议和政策，在年度绩效评估以及晋升和终身教职过程中使用教职员工更广泛的影响工作。其目标是开发评价工具和协议，为执行支助股的进程增加价值，并可在其他大学实施。(2)通过SPISU，教职员工开发基于研究的更广泛的影响方案，这些方案基于最佳实践的学术研究。这提高了教师将更广泛的影响计划整合到他们的研究计划中的智力力量。更广泛的影响：拟议的活动侧重于培养新一代教师，他们将他们的更广泛的影响努力与他们的研究事业相结合。参与的项目包括ISU Advance、爱荷华州AGEP以及其他专注于K-Grey教育和多样性努力的项目，这些项目受益于一群新的合作教师。开发新的P&A；T协议和程序，包括对更广泛的影响工作的评估，也增加了教职员工对更广泛影响的努力水平。最后，由于SPISU的活动包括博士后学者和高级研究生，他们将接受教师职位的培训，因为他们将制定基于最佳做法奖学金的更广泛的影响计划。通过与执行支助股Advance、爱荷华州AGEP和数学联盟合作，将确保积极招募妇女和任职人数不足的少数群体参加执行支助股的活动。

Intellectual Merit: Strengthening the Professoriate at Iowa State University (SPISU) strengthens and diversifies the professoriate by creating a community of scholars who focus on integrating broader impacts efforts into their research enterprise. SPISU brings together campus programs, many NSF funded, that share the mission of broadening participation of under-represented minorities and women in STEM fields, with the goal of networking, integrating, and sustaining the efforts of individual and multiple-investigator projects. The community also includes post-doctoral scholars and advanced graduate students mentored by faculty as they develop the awareness and skills needed to develop plans for broader impacts to complement their research skills. The project supports these primary outcomes: (1) the creation of protocols and policies that use a faculty member's broader impact work in annual performance evaluations and the promotion and tenure process. The goal is to develop evaluation tools and protocols that will add value to ISU processes and can be implemented at other universities. (2) Through SPISU, faculty develop research based broader impact programs that are based on the scholarship of best practices. This raises the intellectual strength of broader impact plans that faculty integrate into their research programs.Broader Impacts: The proposed activity focuses on developing a new generation of faculty who integrate their broader impacts efforts with their research enterprise. The participating programs, which include ISU ADVANCE, Iowa AGEP, and other programs focused on K-grey education and diversity efforts benefit from a new group of collaborating faculty. Developing new P&T protocols and procedures to include evaluation of broader impacts work also increases the level of effort that faculty put toward broader impacts. Finally, as post-doctoral scholars and advanced graduate students are included in the SPISU activities, they will be trained for faculty positions as they develop broader impact plans that are based on the scholarship of best practices. Partnering with ISU ADVANCE, Iowa AGEP, and the Math Alliance, will ensure that women and under-represented minorities are actively recruited to participate in SPISU activities.
