The ACE Partnership for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination: Awareness of, Commitment to, and Empowerment of women scientists at FIU

该项目计划与密歇根大学合作，并将密歇根大学ADVANCE计划开发的活动适应FIU的初级本科生西班牙裔服务机构。 该项目的第一个目标是提高校园利益相关者对女性STEM教师问题的认识。 第二个目标是STEM女性的专业发展，包括领导技能发展，自信和沟通技能以及战略职业规划。 第三个目标是在FIU校园增加STEM女性的招聘，保留和晋升。 智力优势与密歇根大学高级IT赠款的经验丰富的PI的伙伴关系是一个很好的方式来增加该计划在FIU的可能成功。 它们为如何管理伙伴关系提供了极好的细节，并准备通过伙伴关系测试适应模式。 PI在识别成功的ADVANCE编程并使其适应其环境方面做得很好。 此外，他们还选择了与金融情报室以往气候调查所确定的情况有关的方案。 PI团队在FIU校园内拥有强大的能力和重要的权威，可以带头采取这些举措。 更广泛的影响FIU是一个西班牙裔服务机构，女性STEM教师的加入有可能对他们的西班牙裔学生的愿望产生重大影响。 本赠款中建议的伙伴关系模式是一种使成功的方案拟订适应新环境的新方法。 如果成功，将有巨大潜力对许多机构类型产生广泛影响。 特别的评价和传播计划也预示着该项目将产生更广泛的影响。

The project plans to partner with the University of Michigan and adapt activities developed by the University of Michigan ADVANCE program to FIU's primarily-undergraduate, Hispanic-Serving Institution. The first goal of the project is to increase awareness of campus stakeholders about issues surrounding women STEM faculty. The second goal is the professional development of STEM women including leadership skills development, assertiveness and communication skills, and strategic career planning. The third goal is to increase the hiring, retention and promotion of STEM women on the FIU campus. INTELLECTUAL MERITThe partnership with the experienced PI of the University of Michigan ADVANCE IT grant is an excellent way to increase the likely success of the program at FIU. They have provided excellent details of how the partnership will be managed and are poised to test a model of adaptation through partnerships. The PIs have done a nice job of identifying successful ADVANCE programming and adapting it to their environment. In addition they have selected programming that is relevant to the circumstances at FIU as identified by previous climate surveys. The PI team has a strong mix of abilities and significant authority on the FIU campus to spearhead the initiatives. BROADER IMPACTSFIU is an Hispanic serving institution and the addition of female STEM faculty has the potential to have a significant impact on the aspirations of their Hispanic students. The partnership model as suggested in this grant is a novel way to adapt successful programming to a new setting. If successful, there is great potential for broad impacts across many institution types. The exceptional evaluation and dissemination plans also bode well for the broader impacts of the project.
