NCA&T ADVANCE Institutional Transformation: Catalyzing Gender, Leadership, and Scholarship Equity through Institutional Change for All

推进干妇女在历史上的黑人机构：确保最好的干头脑留在表北卡罗来纳州农业和技术州立大学将解决一个难题，同时将自己转变为一个开放，透明的社区，支持干教师实现最佳状态。研究表明，无意识的偏见如何阻碍女性参与STEM企业; NC A T将通过其ADVANCE机构转型奖帮助我们更好地了解性别障碍如何与种族/民族障碍交叉。美国科学促进会（AAAS）前主席雪莉·马尔科姆（Shirley Malcom）博士将有色人种STEM女性的困境称为“双重束缚”：如果我们听到“科学家”这个词时很难想象一个女人，那么我们就更难想象一个有色人种女性是一名科学家。NC A T将研究导致“双重束缚”的因素，并将制定战略，以解决历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）女性的双重束缚，这些战略也可以应用于降低历史上占多数的机构中有色人种STEM女性的障碍。NC A T制定和传播的战略将有助于通过他们关于如何在职业生涯中期最好地指导STEM教师的研究结果，为所有STEM女性降低障碍。NC A T通过其ADVANCE机构转型奖，不会等待找到双重束缚的答案：他们将为STEM女教师提供新颖的专业发展机会，例如与有能力的导师一起制定个人专业发展计划，并访问资助机构在DC都会区，这是一个历史上以教学为重点的机构以前没有的机会。随着美国人口的日益多样化，我们希望所有最优秀的人才都能坐在板凳上，在战场上：NC A T将确保最优秀的人才不会因为不符合传统模式而被排除在外。

ADVANCING STEM Women at Historically Black Institutions: Ensuring the Best STEM Minds Stay at the Table North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University will solve a conundrum while transforming itself into an open, transparent community that supports STEM faculty to achieve their best. Research demonstrates how unconscious bias can hold women back from inclusion in the STEM enterprise; NC A&T will help us better understand how gender barriers intersect with racial/ethnicity barriers through its ADVANCE Institutional Transformation award. Dr. Shirley Malcom, former president of AAAS, calls the predicament of STEM women of color "The Double Bind": if it's hard for us to imagine a woman when we hear the word "scientist", it's doubly hard to imagine a woman of color as a scientist. NC A&T will study the factors that lead to the "double bind" and will develop strategies to address the double bind for women at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), strategies that can also be applied to lower barriers for STEM women of color at historically majority institutions. The strategies NC A&T develops and disseminates will help lower barriers for all STEM women through their findings on how to best mentor STEM faculty at mid-career. NC A&T, through its ADVANCE Institutional Transformation award, will not wait to find answers to the double bind: they will provide STEM women faculty novel professional development opportunities, such as developing personal professional development plans with able mentors, and visiting funding agencies in the DC metro area, an opportunity not previously available to an historically teaching-focused institution. As the nation's population becomes increasingly diverse, we want all the best heads at the bench and in the field: NC A&T will ensure that the best minds are not excluded because they don't fit the traditional mold.
