项目摘要

This project addresses the need to understand how universities can most effectively create institutional environments that support the success of women scholars. We will leverage the significant work done at institutions that have implemented Institutional Transformation (IT) projects under the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE program. Individual institutions have assessed and chronicled their own goals, strategies, and processes. This study takes a cross-institutional, analytical and synthetic approach to extract the lessons, best practices, and organizational strategies that support the success of women scholars in STEM fields. The study addresses the following question: What has been learned about the effectiveness and long-term viability of organizational change efforts to create institutional environments that are conducive to the success of women scholars, particularly in STEM fields? The sub-questions are: - What strategies and processes have worked well in creating institutional environments that are conducive to the success of women scholars, especially in STEM fields? Have some strategies worked particularly well in regard to specific goals? - Why have these strategies and processes worked well? Why did some not work well? - How does a university's organizational culture and other institutional characteristics relate to the initial choice and ultimate effectiveness of the strategies and processes used? - In institutions where change strategies and processes have resulted in significant outcomes in terms of creating environments that are conducive to supporting the career progress of STEM women faculty, what can be learned about effective theories of change and effective strategies and processes? That is, what lessons on "best practices" can be learned from ADVANCE programs that have had an impact? The three-year study will use a mixed-methods approach, guided by conceptual frameworks concerning organizational change and faculty work. Nineteen institutions that have held ADVANCE IT awards will be surveyed, from which five will be chosen for detailed examination as case studies. Data-gathering methods include a review of project reports, a web-based survey, telephone interviews, and site visits; these largely qualitative data will be analyzed using the conceptual frameworks and organized in Change Strategy Matrices. Intellectual MeritThe study is grounded in the literature on organizational change and faculty work and presented by a highly qualified team. It is explicitly designed to contribute both to practice and the scholarly literature. Through analysis of multiple data sets, the study will produce research findings that expand knowledge about the process of organizational transformation in higher education. Findings will contribute to knowledge of how institutions can foster environments conducive to women's success, how specific change strategies relate to organizational impact, how institutions use explicit change theories or rationales, and how institutional context influences the impact of particular change strategies. Broader Impact The study will produce outcomes and deliverables that provide specific evidence-based information and detailed case examples to a wide variety of audiences: institutional leaders and change agents who seek to enhance the success of women STEM scholars; female STEM faculty who may use the study to guide their own career planning or to shape their own institutions' policies, programs, or strategies; and scholars of higher education, gender, and organizational change.

该项目解决了了解大学如何最有效地创造支持女学者成功的制度环境的需要。我们将利用在国家科学基金会 ADVANCE 计划下实施机构转型 (IT) 项目的机构所做的重要工作。各个机构评估并记录了自己的目标、战略和流程。这项研究采用跨机构、分析和综合的方法来提取支持女性学者在 STEM 领域取得成功的经验教训、最佳实践和组织策略。该研究解决了以下问题：关于组织变革努力创造有利于女性学者成功的制度环境（特别是在 STEM 领域）的有效性和长期可行性，我们了解到了什么？子问题是： - 哪些策略和流程在创造有利于女性学者成功的制度环境方面发挥了良好作用，特别是在 STEM 领域？是否有一些策略对于特定目标特别有效？ - 为什么这些策略和流程运作良好？为什么有些效果不好？ - 大学的组织文化和其他机构特征与所使用的策略和流程的初始选择和最终有效性有何关系？ - 在变革战略和流程在创造有利于支持 STEM 女教师职业发展的环境方面取得重大成果的机构中，从有效的变革理论以及有效的战略和流程中可以学到什么？也就是说，可以从产生影响的 ADVANCE 计划中汲取哪些“最佳实践”经验教训？这项为期三年的研究将采用混合方法，以有关组织变革和教师工作的概念框架为指导。将对19家获得ADVANCE IT奖项的机构进行调查，从中选择5家作为案例研究进行详细审查。数据收集方法包括项目报告审查、网络调查、电话访谈和实地考察；这些主要定性数据将使用概念框架进行分析，并组织在变革战略矩阵中。智力优点这项研究以有关组织变革和教师工作的文献为基础，并由高素质的团队提出。它的明确设计目的是为实践和学术文献做出贡献。通过对多个数据集的分析，该研究将产生研究结果，扩展有关高等教育组织转型过程的知识。研究结果将有助于了解机构如何营造有利于妇女成功的环境、具体变革战略如何与组织影响相关、机构如何使用明确的变革理论或理由，以及机构背景如何影响特定变革战略的影响。更广泛的影响该研究将产生成果和交付成果，为广泛的受众提供具体的基于证据的信息和详细的案例示例：寻求提高女性 STEM 学者成功的机构领导者和变革推动者；女性 STEM 教员可以利用该研究来指导自己的职业规划或制定自己机构的政策、计划或战略；以及高等教育、性别和组织变革领域的学者。
