ADVANCE: Promoting Success of Women Faculty Through a Psychologically Healthy Workplace

德州农工大学先进IT项目的使命是在未来五年内将STEM学科终身女教师的比例增加一倍，并增加该机构各级STEM女教师的数量和多样性。 为此，该项目将围绕三大主题组织与性别平等有关的活动，包括气候变化活动、促进成功活动以及征聘和留用活动。 总的来说，这些活动将在校园领导的重要投入下实施，他们已经形成了一个战略合作，将工程，科学和社会科学学科联系起来，并建立在其他机构以前的ADVANCE成就的基础上。 德克萨斯州A M ADVANCE IT提案基于心理健康的工作场所模型，该模型由美国心理协会建立，预计将改善招聘，减少自然减员并促进STEM女教师的成功。 更广泛的影响。 由于该项目与Prairie View A M之间拟议的合作活动，德克萨斯州A M ADVANCE IT项目有可能广泛影响STEM学科的女教师，而不仅仅是其自己的校园，而是同一系统内的其他校园。 此外，该项目还侧重于提高该机构学生和工作人员对隐性偏见的认识。 在这样做的过程中，这个项目将有助于影响那些没有得到ADVANCE社区服务的新受众。

The mission of the Texas A&M University ADVANCE IT project is to double the percentage of tenured women faculty in STEM disciplines in the next five years and increase the number and diversity of women STEM faculty at all levels at the institution. To this end, the project will organize activities related to gender equity around three major themes that include climate change activities, success enhancement activities and recruitment and retention activities. Collectively, these activities will be implemented with significant input from campus leaders who have formed a strategic collaboration that bridges engineering, science and social science disciplines and builds on previous ADVANCE accomplishments at other institutions.Intellectual Merit. The Texas A&M ADVANCE IT proposal is based on the psychologically healthy workplace model, which was established by the American Psychological Association and is expected to improve recruitment, reduce attrition and promote the success of STEM women faculty. Broader Impact. As a result of the proposed collaborative activity between this project and that at Prairie View A&M, the Texas A&M ADVANCE IT project has the potential to broadly impact women faculty in the STEM disciplines beyond its own campus to other campuses within the same system. Additionally, this project also focuses on raising awareness of implicit bias with students and staff at the institution. In doing so, this project will serve to impact new audiences that have been underserved by the ADVANCE community.
