PA STEM University Partnership for the Advancement of Academic Women (PA STEMUP)

希彭斯堡大学是一所教学机构，将与宾夕法尼亚州中部地区的区域校区合作，以促进学术STEM学科中女性的招聘，保留和提升。 拟议中的ADVANCE PAID机构合作伙伴是伊丽莎白敦学院和哈里斯堡科技大学。 该项目的主要目标是评估宾夕法尼亚州中部各机构的氛围，并开发一个基于网络的资源，以支持两性平等战略。 该项目旨在通过全州范围的创新转移网络（ITN）将专业网络中的所有合作机构联系起来，ITN是一个共享实体，为宾夕法尼亚州中部地区的技术转移创造机会。 此外，ITN还为其他九个区域机构提供服务，包括一所社区学院。 总的来说，ITN代表了3 000多名教职员工，因此，希彭斯堡大学的PAID项目包括一个广泛的基础，用于性别平等活动的转型和相关成果评估。 该项目的智力价值在于重点分析、修改和采用经证实的先进最佳做法，以促进和支持提高非研究密集型机构女教师的地位。 高度发达和协同合作的伙伴关系是一个强大的资产，该项目，并将最终影响整个宾夕法尼亚州中部地区的数千名教师，并作为一个模式，其余的国家的高等教育系统。更广泛的影响由于该项目的重点是教学，非研究密集型机构，“希彭斯堡先进有偿项目"将对促进美国所有类似机构的两性平等产生巨大影响。 这一点尤其重要，因为在这些机构中，女教员的人数不成比例地多。

Shippensburg University is a teaching institution that will partner with regional campuses in the central Pennsylvania area to promote the recruitment, retention and advancement of women in the academic STEM disciplines. The proposed ADVANCE PAID institutional partners are Elizabethtown College and Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. The primary goals of this project are to assess the climate among central Pennsylvania institutions and develop a web based resource to support gender equity strategies. This project seeks to link all partner institutions in a professional network through the statewide Innovation Transfer Network (ITN), a shared entity that creates opportunities for technology transfer in the central Pennsylvania region. Additionally, the ITN serves nine other regional institutions, including a community college. Collectively, the ITN represents over 3,000 faculty, thus, the Shippensburg University PAID project consists of a broad base for transformation and relevant outcomes assessment of gender equity activity. Intellectual Merit The intellectual merit of this project lies in the focus on analysis, modification and adoption of proven ADVANCE best practices for promoting and supporting the advancement of women faculty at non research intensive institutions. The highly developed and synergistic partnership is a strong asset to the project and will, ultimately, impact thousands of faculty across the central Pennsylvania region and serve as a model for the remainder of the state's higher education system.Broader Impact Because of the focus of this project on teaching, non research intensive institutions, the Shippensburg ADVANCE PAID project will have a dramatic impact on promoting gender equity at all institutions of similar type in the US. This is particularly significant given the disproportionately high number of women faculty who are employed at these institution types.
