This ADVANCE-PAID project will adapt best practices from an existing ADVANCE-supported leadership development program in order to transform a national association of academic deans, the Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences (CCAS). Specifically, CCAS will partner with the University of Washington's (UW) Leadership Excellence for Academic Diversity (LEAD), a national professional development workshop of documented effectiveness, to infuse STEM gender equity content into CCAS's existing professional development programs for deans and department chairs. The objectives of the CCAS ADVANCE Initiative are to: 1) infuse gender equity content and activities into CCAS's professional development programs in a sustainable way; 2) maximize opportunities for positive impacts of the initiative on individuals underrepresented in STEM disciplines; and 3) develop, utilize, and make widely available a set of robust case studies that incorporate gender equity elements. The CCAS professional development programs and activities that will be targeted for infusion of STEM gender equity content are the New Deans' Seminar, Department Chairs' Seminar, Annual Meeting, selected Topical Seminars, and Pre-/Post-conference Workshops. LEAD program personnel will facilitate CCAS's adaptation and dissemination of successful practices from LEAD's workshops for chairs, deans, and emerging faculty leaders. Strategic efforts will be undertaken to increase the participation in CCAS workshops of individuals from minority-serving institutions (MSIs). Case studies are an important learning tool used in CCAS's current professional development programs. Multiple cases addressing gender equity scenarios commonly encountered by STEM deans and chairs will be developed and implemented throughout CCAS's programming. The initiative's intellectual merit derives from its innovative and multitiered approach of transforming an association of academic administrators as a means of promoting change among its member institutions. As well, because this project will effect lasting changes to a well-established and self-supporting professional development infrastructure, it will be sustainable. The project offers high potential for broad impact, in that CCAS membership includes nearly 500 higher education institutions ranging from baccalaureate liberal arts through major research universities whose representatives include approximately 1,600 deans, associate deans, and assistant deans. CCAS's professional development activities also reach 80-120 department chairs annually. Educating these key populations - individuals who play pivotal roles in the recruitment, mentoring, development, and advancement of STEM faculty - will cultivate academic leaders who are more knowledgeable about STEM gender equity issues, more able and motivated to address those issues, and thus better positioned to effect positive transformational change in their own colleges and departments. Further, with a membership that includes 48 MSIs and targeted efforts to solicit project participation by MSI representatives, there is substantial potential for impacts on populations underrepresented in STEM disciplines.

该 ADVANCE 付费项目将采用现有 ADVANCE 支持的领导力发展计划的最佳实践，以改造全国学术院长协会，即艺术与科学学院理事会 (CCAS)。 具体来说，CCAS 将与华盛顿大学 (UW) 的学术多样性卓越领导力 (LEAD) 合作，该研讨会是一个有记录的有效性的国家专业发展研讨会，将 STEM 性别平等内容融入到 CCAS 现有的院长和系主任专业发展计划中。 CCAS ADVANCE Initiative 的目标是： 1) 以可持续的方式将性别平等内容和活动融入 CCAS 的专业发展计划； 2) 最大限度地利用该倡议对 STEM 学科中代表性不足的个人产生积极影响的机会； 3) 开发、利用并广泛提供一系列包含性别平等要素的强有力的案例研究。 CCAS专业发展计划和活动旨在注入STEM性别平等内容，包括新任院长研讨会、系主任研讨会、年会、精选主题研讨会和会前/会后研讨会。 LEAD 项目人员将促进 CCAS 适应和传播 LEAD 为主席、院长和新兴教师领导举办的研讨会的成功实践。 将采取战略措施，增加少数民族服务机构 (MSI) 个人对 CCAS 研讨会的参与。 案例研究是 CCAS 当前专业发展项目中使用的重要学习工具。 在 CCAS 的整个规划过程中，将开发和实施 STEM 院长和主席经常遇到的解决性别平等场景的多个案例。 该倡议的智力价值源于其创新和多层次的方法，将学术管理人员协会转变为促进其成员机构变革的手段。 此外，由于该项目将对完善且自我支持的专业发展基础设施产生持久的变化，因此它将是可持续的。 该项目具有产生广泛影响的巨大潜力，因为 CCAS 成员包括近 500 所高等教育机构，从本科文科大学到主要研究型大学，其代表包括约 1,600 名院长、副院长和助理院长。 CCAS 的专业发展活动每年也有 80-120 名系主任。 对这些关键人群（在 STEM 教师的招聘、指导、发展和晋升中发挥关键作用的个人）进行教育，将培养出更了解 STEM 性别平等问题、更有能力、更有动力解决这些问题的学术领导者，从而更好地解决这些问题。定位于在自己的学院和院系中实现积极的转型变革。 此外，由于其成员包括 48 个 MSI，并且有针对性地努力吸引 MSI 代表参与项目，因此对 STEM 学科中代表性不足的人群产生巨大的潜在影响。
