Texas Tech University (TTU) and Texas Tech Health Science Center (HSC) have partnered to advance the status of women faculty in engineering, science, medicine and research by addressing specific problems identified by task force studies and administrators at both institutions with "best practices" from proven ADVANCE- supported programs. These programs are being implemented in the eight departments in the College of Engineering (COE), four science departments in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), two departments in the School of Pharmacy (SOP), and four departments in the School of Medicine (SOM).These programs include a comprehensive recruitment plan, two mentoring programs, the third-year review, and an improved exit interview process. The mentoring programs are important because they enable the small number of experienced women to reach more junior women across the 74,000 sq miles of the TTU system. The recruitment program will train search committees on the value and effective approaches to a robust search process that results in a pool of highly qualified men and women in the final candidate pool. The third-year review will lead to better preparedness on the part of the faculty candidate for tenure and promotion; and the exit interviews will uncover gender-related factors that contribute to faculty leaving the university. All the ADVANCE programs adapted for use at TTU and HSC will be evaluated using both qualitative and quantitative methods throughout the award period, thus revisions of the programs can be made pro-actively. Further, an advisory board with internal and external members, a concept adopted from University of Texas at El-Paso's ADVANCE project, is being used to provide timely and continuous guidance throughout the project period.The intellectual merit of this project lies in creating an integrated and comprehensive approach to improving the numbers of women faculty in engineering, science, medicine, and research at TTU and HSC to uncover the root causes relevant to recruitment and retention.The broader impacts of this project include advances in understanding effective recruitment and retention practices to help create the next generation of leaders in science and engineering.

德克萨斯理工大学（TTU）和德克萨斯理工学院健康科学中心（HSC）已合作，通过解决了两家机构的特定问题和管理人员从“最佳实践”中识别出的特定问题，从而推进了工程，科学，医学和研究中女性的地位，并从可靠的预先支持的支持方案中识别出“最佳实践”。这些计划正在工程学院（COE）的八个系，艺术与科学学院的四个科学系（CAS），药学院的两个部门（SOP）以及医学院的四个系（SOM）。这些课程包括全面的招聘计划，两年的指导计划，三年级的审查，三年级的审查以及一项改进的Exit Exit Femplock Procems。这些指导计划很重要，因为它们使少数经验丰富的女性能够在TTU系统的74,000平方英里中吸引更多的初级女性。招聘计划将培训搜索委员会，以实现强大的搜索过程的价值和有效方法，从而导致最终候选人池中有一群高素质的男女。第三年的审查将导致任期和晋升的教职员工候选人的更好准备；出口访谈将发现与性别相关的因素，这有助于教师离开大学。在整个奖励期间，将使用定性和定量方法评估适用于TTU和HSC的所有预付款计划，因此可以主动对计划进行修订。此外，一个由内部成员和外部成员的顾问委员会是德克萨斯大学在El-Paso提前项目中采用的概念，该概念被用来在整个项目期间提供及时，持续的指导。该项目的智力优点在于创建一种综合和全面的方法，以改善妇女在TTU和HSC中的妇女研究中的妇女人数，以招募此类范围，以招募此类范围，并在TTU和HSC的研究中招募了范围。包括理解有效招聘和保留实践的进步，以帮助建立科学和工程领域的下一代领导者。
