While women faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have made significant strides in the last several decades, gender discrepancies still exist in these disciplines. The strategies and programs for institutional transformation created by the first two rounds of ADVANCE schools to support the advancement of women faculty in STEM have gone far beyond administrative rhetoric. They have challenged and redefined the status quo and have benefited not only women faculty, but also the faculty at large.In general, at many universities and colleges, faculty professional development is not explicitly addressed. While research, and increasingly teaching, support has been available on campuses, other areas of faculty work (service, leadership, networking, etc.) have received very little attention. Yet these areas are critical to success of the faculty overall, and play an important role in the likelihood of advancement, particularly for women faculty.Academic leaders, and particularly department chairs, carry considerable responsibility for departmental faculty recruitment, advancement, and retention. In this respect, they are key players in the institutional transformation process and in setting the climate of their departments. Few resources are available to support this role, however, and many chairs have little regular access to other department chairs, who could provide peer mentoring. The goal of this ADVANCE PAID proposal is to provide department chairs with the resources, skill development, and peer networks that will support more effective department leadership and governance, and contribute to a more positive department culture for all faculty. The University of Washington will implement a series of two-day national leadership workshops over a three-year period for department chairs, deans, and emerging leaders in STEM. One workshop will be held each year at the University of Washington (UW), and in two of the three years, a second workshop will be held at an alternate regional site. These workshops are based on the UW ADVANCE program's quarterly leadership workshop series and two national pilot workshops. A pre-workshop mentoring-for-leadership event will be offered to women faculty at each workshop.Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of this proposal is the creation of leadership and professional development opportunities for STEM department chairs and emerging leaders, particularly women faculty. The workshops will provide opportunities for academic leaders to address issues of gender equity, leadership, faculty recruitment, faculty professional development, family-friendly policies, and policy implementation. Each workshop will result in the creation of resources to support and advance issues relevant to the success of all faculty, and women faculty in particular.Broader Impact: The national scope of the workshop allows the impact to be far reaching. The University of Washington will collaborate with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other institutions to include department chairs and faculty of color, particularly women. Holding workshops at regional locations will increase participation and ideally create local communities of department chairs who can continue to network and learn from each other, and potentially replicate parts ofthe workshops at their own institutions. The national workshops provide a venue for STEM department chairs from around the country to exchange best practices and strategies. Up to 250 department chairs and emerging leaders are expected to attend the workshops. The project team will also be available for consultation with institutions interested in hosting local, campus-based workshops. All workshop materials will be widely distributed via websites, presentations, papers, etc.

尽管科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域的女教师在过去几十年中取得了显着进步，但这些学科中仍然存在性别差异。前两轮 ADVANCE 学校为支持提高 STEM 领域女教师的地位而制定的制度转型战略和计划远远超出了行政言辞。她们挑战并重新定义了现状，不仅使女教师受益，而且使广大教师受益。 一般来说，在许多大学和学院，教师的专业发展并没有得到明确的解决。虽然校园内提供了研究和越来越多的教学支持，但教师工作的其他领域（服务、领导力、网络等）却很少受到关注。然而，这些领域对于教师整体的成功至关重要，并且在晋升的可能性中发挥着重要作用，特别是对于女教师而言。学术领导者，特别是系主任，对院系教师的招聘、晋升和保留负有相当大的责任。在这方面，他们是机构转型过程和部门氛围营造的关键参与者。 然而，很少有资源可以支持这一角色，而且许多系主任很少能定期接触其他可以提供同行指导的系主任。这项预付费提案的目标是为系主任提供资源、技能发展和同行网络，以支持更有效的系领导和治理，并为所有教员营造更积极的系文化。 华盛顿大学将在三年内为系主任、院长和 STEM 领域的新兴领导者举办一系列为期两天的国家领导力研讨会。每年将在华盛顿大学 (UW) 举办一次研讨会，三年中的两年将在另一个地区举办第二次研讨会。这些研讨会以华盛顿大学高级计划的季度领导力研讨会系列和两个国家试点研讨会为基础。每次研讨会上都会为女教师提供研讨会前的领导力辅导活动。智力价值：该提案的智力价值是为 STEM 系主任和新兴领导者，特别是女教师创造领导力和专业发展机会。这些研讨会将为学术领袖提供机会，讨论性别平等、领导力、教师招聘、教师专业发展、家庭友好政策和政策实施等问题。每个研讨会都将创造资源，以支持和推进与所有教师，特别是女教师的成功相关的问题。更广泛的影响：研讨会的全国范围使其影响深远。华盛顿大学将与历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 及其他机构合作，包括有色人种，特别是女性的系主任和教员。在地区地点举办研讨会将增加参与度，并理想地创建当地系主任社区，他们可以继续相互联系和学习，并有可能在自己的机构复制部分研讨会的内容。国家研讨会为来自全国各地的 STEM 系主任提供了交流最佳实践和策略的场所。预计将有多达 250 名系主任和新兴领导者参加研讨会。项目团队还将与有兴趣举办本地校园研讨会的机构进行协商。所有研讨会材料将通过网站、演示文稿、论文等广泛分发。
