TRANSFORM: Teaching Research Advancement Network to Secure Female Faculty For Organizational Retention and Management

甘农大学是一所私立的罗马天主教大学，主要是本科生。该机构通过预付奖金，建议实施发展教学-研究-发展网络的战略，以促进留住和提升STEM学科中的女教员。这一方法被该机构认为是必要的，因为目前的重点从以教学为中心转移到研究和学术生产力。据设想，拟议的预先干预将有助于防止女性教员在该机构历史上的关键时刻被排斥在研究企业之外--S。与这一目标相关的目标有四个，其中包括：招聘和留住女教员、在教授队伍中提拔女教员、为担任领导职务的女教员做好准备，以及为机构领导人提供关于性别平等问题的培训。为了实现这些目标，Gannon预付费项目将利用双重职业服务，启动研究奖项，并将领导力发展计划制度化。Gannon大学拟议的项目以有意义的方式借鉴了其他先进机构的几个成功的最佳做法。因此，该项目的预期成果有望成为其他类似类型和具有类似研究成就目标的机构的典范。具体地说，该项目介绍了中等规模机构女性教职员工的领导力、双重职业招聘和研究启动战略。更广泛的影响甘农大学预付费项目将使用传统手段传播项目成果和成功，以及创新手段，包括但不限于向有意促进STEM学科性别平等的国家组织分发会议手稿和通讯文章，以及总结赠款活动和成果的明信片宣传活动。因此，该项目不仅有助于确保女教员广泛参与STEM学科，而且还将满足在先期奖项组合中任职人数仍然不足的一批机构的需要。

Gannon University is a private, Roman Catholic, primarily undergraduate institution. The institution, through an ADVANCE PAID award proposes to implement strategies toward developing a teaching-research-advancement network to promote the retention and advancement of women faculty in the STEM disciplines. This approach is recognized by the institution as being essential since there exists a current shift in focus from teaching centeredness to research and scholarly productivity. It is envisaged that the proposed ADVANCE interventions will serve to prevent the marginalization of women faculty from the research enterprise at a critical time in the institution?s history. There are four objectives associated with this goal that include: recruiting and retaining women faculty, advancing women faculty through the professorial ranks, preparing women faculty for leadership positions and providing training for institutional leaders about gender equity issues. To achieve these objectives, the Gannon ADVANCE PAID project will utilize dual career services, initiate research awards and institutionalize leadership development programs. Intellectual Merit The proposed project at Gannon University adapts several successful best practices from other ADVANCE institutions in a meaningful way. As such, the expected outcomes of this project are poised to serve as a model for other institutions of similar type and with similar goals of research accomplishment. Specifically, this project presents strategies for leadership, dual career hiring and research initiation for women faculty at a moderately sized institution. Broader Impact The Gannon University ADVANCE PAID project will use traditional means of disseminating project outcomes and successes as well as innovative means, which include, but are not limited to conference manuscripts and newsletter articles to national organizations with interests in promoting gender equity in the STEM disciplines, and a postcard campaign summarizing grant activities and outcomes. Thus, this project will not only serve to ensure the broad participation of women faculty in the STEM disciplines, but also address the needs of a cadre of institutions that remain underrepresented in the ADVANCE award portfolio.
