ADVANCE Adaptation: Targeting Equity in Access to Mentoring (TEAM)

NSF高级方案旨在通过重点确定和消除阻碍学术机构中不同教员充分参与和进步的组织障碍来促进性别平等。阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、流程、实践以及组织文化和氛围中。北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校(UNC)的先期适应项目被称为定向辅导公平(Team)。该项目将促进一种有效和公平的指导计划的文化。团队组成部分包括：动员教务长的领导，对院长和系主任的培训和支持，对教员导师的培训，以及包括对被辅导者的同行辅导在内的额外方案。该项目的目标包括：1)建立一个高级教师行政职位，以确保整个大学一致的指导实施和问责；2)授权院长、主席和其他高级领导在其部门建立指导计划；3)通过提供教育和战略，增加和改善高级教师的指导能力；以及4)为初级和中期教师提供基于队列的指导。TEAM提供三种关键干预措施，将促进当前的指导实践，借鉴国家教师发展和多样性中心(NCFDD)和国家指导研究网络(NMRN)以及俄勒冈州立大学和克莱姆森大学的高级项目。北卡罗来纳大学的项目将：1)将交叉性信息材料整合到NMRN课程中，以满足STEM领域女教员的独特需求；2)补充与同行网络的正式、二元指导关系；3)将STEM领域女教员的生活经验和整体幸福感作为教员成功的关键、可衡量的结果。预计北卡罗来纳大学的适应项目将增加教师指导的知识库，特别是针对STEM领域具有交叉身份的个人的指导。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The NSF ADVANCE program is designed to foster gender equity through a focus on the identification and elimination of organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of diverse faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in policies, processes, practices, and the organizational culture and climate. ADVANCE "Adaptation" awards provide support for the adaptation and adoption of evidence-based strategies to academic and non-academic non-profit organizations.The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) ADVANCE Adaptation project is called the Targeting Equity in Access to Mentoring (TEAM). The project will promote a culture of effective and equitable mentoring programs. TEAM components include: mobilizing leadership by the Provost, training and support for deans and department chairs, training for faculty mentors, and additional programming including peer mentoring for mentees. Objectives for the project include: 1) Establish a senior-level faculty administrative position to ensure consistent mentoring implementation and accountability across the University; 2) Empower deans, chairs, and other senior leadership to establish mentoring programs in their departments; 3) Increase and improve senior faculty members' mentoring capacity by providing education and strategies; and 4) Provide cohort-based mentoring to junior and mid-career faculty.TEAM offers three key interventions that will advance current mentoring practices, drawing on work by the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD) and the National Mentoring Research Network (NMRN) as well as ADVANCE projects at Oregon State University and Clemson University. The UNC project will: 1) Integrate intersectionality-informed materials into the NMRN curriculum to address the unique needs of women faculty in STEM fields; 2) Supplement formal, dyadic mentoring relationships with peer networks; and 3) Include the lived experiences and holistic well-being of women faculty in STEM fields as critical, measurable outcomes for faculty success. It is anticipated that the UNC Adaptation project will add to the knowledge base on faculty mentoring particularly mentoring targeting individuals with intersectional identities in the STEM fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
