ADVANCE Adaptation: Advancing Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity in STEM (AIDE-STEM)

纽约城市学院（CCNY）的ADVANCE适应项目的总体目标是实施机构转型，为所有教师培养公平和支持性的专业环境，特别强调妇女和黑人，土著和有色人种（BIPOC）STEM教师。在CCNY和全国各地的STEM中，女性和BIPOC教师的代表性持续不足，破坏了多元化，准备充分的STEM劳动力和国家繁荣的实现。任职人数持续偏低的原因很复杂。解决这种持续的代表性不足的解决方案需要新的和多方面的综合方法，植根于推动学术事业的主要力量：研究，教学和服务。该项目将努力确保妇女和BIPOC教师得到支持，使他们能够在所有这三个支柱中茁壮成长。该项目有三个主要活动：1。增加女性和BIPOC STEM教师的晋升，保留和指导。2.改善工作量公平性和对研究与协作的内部支持。3.通过减少系统性种族主义，为所有人营造包容性环境。CCNY在CUNY教育系统中具有独特的地位，因为它包括CUNY医学院和格罗夫工程学院。CCNY先前获得NSF ADVANCE催化剂奖的结果为当前项目的开发和设计提供了信息。催化剂机构的自我评估工作，其中包括教师访谈和气候调查，表明妇女和BIPOC教师在指导，政策和程序的理解，以及在CCNY的职业发展有不同的经验。CCNY项目将采用过去几个ADVANCE机构的最佳做法。总之，这套活动是全面的，旨在解决催化剂项目和教师调查中发现的系统性问题。NSF ADVANCE计划旨在通过重点识别和消除阻碍学术机构中不同教师充分参与和发展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、做法以及组织文化和氛围中。ADVANCE“适应”奖为学术性、非营利高等教育机构以及非学术性、非营利组织提供基于证据的战略适应和采用支持。该项目得到了HSI计划的共同资助，该计划旨在加强本科STEM教育，扩大STEM的参与，并建立HSI的能力。实现这些目标，鉴于HSIs的多样性和背景，需要创新的方法，激励机构和社区转型，促进基础研究（i）参与学生学习，（ii）关于如何有效地使STEM多样化和增加参与，以及（iii）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得支持通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。

TThe overall goal of the City College of New York (CCNY) 's ADVANCE Adaptation project is to implement institutional transformation that fosters an equitable and supportive professional environment for all faculty, with a particular emphasis on women and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) STEM faculty. The persistent underrepresentation of women and BIPOC faculty in STEM at CCNY and across the nation undermines the attainment of a diverse, well-prepared STEM workforce and national prosperity. The reasons for the persistent underrepresentation are complex. The solutions to address this persistent underrepresentation require new and multi-faceted integrative approaches rooted in the primary forces that drive academic careers: research, teaching, and service. This project will work to ensure that women and BIPOC faculty are supported so they can thrive in all three of these pillars. The project has three key activities: 1. Increase the promotion, retention, and mentoring of women and BIPOC STEM faculty. 2. Improve workload equity and internal support for research and collaboration. 3. Foster an inclusive environment for all by decreasing systemic racism. CCNY is uniquely positioned in the CUNY educational system because it includes the CUNY School of Medicine and Grove School of Engineering.Results from a prior NSF ADVANCE Catalyst award at CCNY have informed the development and design of the current project. The Catalyst institutional self-assessment work, which included faculty interviews and climate surveys, indicated that women and BIPOC faculty have differential experiences in mentoring, understanding of policies and procedures, and career progression at CCNY. The CCNY project will adapt best practices from several past ADVANCE institutions. Together, the suite of activities is comprehensive and designed to address the systemic issues identified in the Catalyst project and faculty surveys.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 institutions of higher education as well as non-academic, non-profit organizations.This project was supported by a co-funding from the HSI Program, which aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education, broaden participation in STEM, and build capacity at HSIs. Achieving these aims, given the diverse nature and context of the HSIs, requires innovative approaches that incentivize institutional and community transformation and promote fundamental research (i) on engaged student learning, (ii) about what it takes to diversify and increase participation in STEM effectively, and (iii) that improves our understanding of how to build institutional capacity at HSIs.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.
