STEM Leadership, Equity, and Advancement for Faculty

克拉克森大学高级适应项目STEM LEAF(STEM领导力、公平性和教师进步)将改善克拉克森STEM教师的公平性。该项目有三个目标：(1)显著减少与性别及其与种族和民族、原籍国、性取向和残疾的交集有关的隐性或无意偏见；(2)支持系主任、中心/研究所主任和院长发展包容性领导技能；(3)通过大学范围的结构和政策改革，促进这些系统性努力的可持续性。STEM LEAFE项目的一个组成部分是对北达科他州州立大学开发的倡导者和盟友模式的改编。对该模式的调整将包括向该模式注入交叉性。此外，还将实施新的方案，以支持部门主任和院长的发展，并促进社区建设和现任和未来领导人之间的问题解决。为了将这些活动融入克拉克森的气候和文化结构，将对政策和做法进行全面修订，首先是主席的职责，以确保它们反映克拉克森预期的多样性、公平和包容性的价值观。以证据为基础的活动与政策和实践的结构性变化相结合，将促进克拉克森大学的气候和文化变化，克拉克森大学是一所位于纽约州北部农村的私立科技大学。NSF高级计划旨在通过专注于识别和消除阻碍不同教员充分参与和提升学术机构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。先期“适应”奖为学术、非营利性高等教育机构以及非学术、非营利性组织的适应和采用循证策略提供支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Clarkson University ADVANCE Adaptation project, STEM LEAF (STEM Leadership, Equity, and Advancement for Faculty) will improve equity for STEM faculty at Clarkson. The project has three goals: (1) to significantly reduce implicit or unintentional bias associated with gender and its intersections with race and ethnicity, country of origin, sexual orientation, and disability; (2) to support the development of inclusive leadership skills by department chairs, center/institute directors, and deans, and (3) to promote the sustainability of these systemic efforts through university-wide structural and policy changes.One component of the STEM LEAF project is the adaptation of the Advocates and Allies model developed by North Dakota State University. The adaptation of the model will include the infusion of intersectionality into the model. In addition, new programs to support the development of department chairs and deans and facilitate community building and problem solving among current and future leaders will be implemented. In order to weave these activities into the fabric of Clarkson's climate and culture, a comprehensive revision of policies and practices will be undertaken, starting with chairs' duties to ensure they reflect the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion expected at Clarkson. The adaptation of evidence-based activities combined with structural changes to policies and practices will foster a change in climate and culture at Clarkson University which is a private technological university located in the rural North Country of New York State.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, non-profit institution of higher education as well as non-academic, non-profit organizations.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.
