The University of Houston (UH), a large urban Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) establishes the Center to ADVANCE UH Faculty. A core strategy will be to "engage the majority" through an ADVANCE Advocates program that engages senior Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) faculty (both male and female) to implement collaboratively UH ADVANCE activities aimed at achieving gender equity in faculty recruitment, retention and advancement. A key innovation is the formation of an ADVANCE Regional Network (ARN), comprising UH and four other ADVANCE institutions in Texas (including one Historically Black College and University and one other HSI). ARN will disseminate information about its programs and will reach out to other institutions in the region to enhance the impact of the National Science Foundation funded projects. Results are expected to be especially helpful to other urban universities, which increasingly serve as engines of innovation and economic development in urban centers and are at the forefront of efforts to increase diversity and gender equity in STEM. ARN will provide a platform through which current ADVANCE Centers in Texas will help other universities (especially predominantly undergraduate institutions and minority serving institutions) in their efforts to promote the success of women STEM faculty. ADVANCE Center activities will be designed and implemented through four Strategic Initiatives: 1) Recruitment & Retention; 2) Professional Engagement, Development & Advancement; 3) Diversity & Inclusion; and 4) Work-life & Infrastructure. The theoretical framework for this project is based on the Job Demands-Resources model. The social science research team will explore the effects of a faculty-supportive climate at both the individual level and the group level in the context of the Jobs Demands-Resources Model. The results of this research will inform future investments at UH and are expected to be useful for other institutions facing similar challenges related to workforce gender equity. Through ARN, a partnership for mutual learning and dissemination, members will hold joint events, develop an ARN postdoctoral researcher network to enable recruiting among ARN institutions, promote sharing of ADVANCE-related best practices, provide cross institutional mentoring, and address isolation of solo and near-solo women faculty via an e-mentoring network. ARN will disseminate information about its programs and provide a unique platform to reach out to other institutions in the region. ARN will eventually expand to include institutions without ADVANCE funding.

休斯顿大学（UH），一个大型城市西班牙裔美国人服务机构（HSI）建立了该中心以推进UH教职员工。 核心策略将是通过一项提前倡导者计划“吸引大多数人”，该计划与高级科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师（男女）（男性和女性），以实施旨在在教师招聘，保留和进步中实现性别公平的协作提前活动。 一个关键的创新是建立了高级区域网络（ARN），包括德克萨斯州的UH和其他四个高级机构（包括一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学以及另一个HSI）。 ARN将传播有关其计划的信息，并将与该地区的其他机构联系，以增强国家科学基金会资助的项目的影响。 预计结果将对其他城市大学特别有用，这些大学越来越多地充当城市中心的创新和经济发展的引擎，并处于增加STEM中多样性和性别平等的努力的最前沿。 ARN将提供一个平台，通过该平台，德克萨斯州的当前高级中心将帮助其他大学（尤其是本科本科机构和少数派服务机构），以促进妇女STEM教师的成功。 高级中心活动将通过四个战略举措设计和实施：1）招聘和保留； 2）专业参与，发展与进步； 3）多样性和包容性； 4）工作与生活和基础设施。该项目的理论框架基于工作需求 - 资源模型。社会科学研究团队将探索在工作要求的个人水平和小组级别上的教师支持气候的影响。这项研究的结果将为UH的未来投资提供信息，预计将对面临与劳动力性别平等相关的类似挑战的其他机构有用。 通过ARN，是共同学习和传播的合作伙伴关系，成员将举行共同的活动，开发ARN博士后研究员网络，以在ARN机构之间招募，促进与预先相关的最佳实践的共享，提供跨机构指导，并通过电子网络通过电子网络网络来隔离独奏和近距离妇女。 ARN将传播有关其计划的信息，并提供一个独特的平台来与该地区的其他机构接触。 Arn最终将扩展到没有预先资助的机构。
