The successful post-secondary education of tomorrow's STEM workforce is improved when women and historically underrepresented minority (URM) faculty are hired and promoted in our nation's universities and colleges. While there have been increases in the diversity of academic doctoral positions, the share of women and URM faculty is considerably less than their share in the U.S. population or in the number of undergraduate students enrolled in STEM. Addressing the barriers to STEM faculty careers is accelerated when organizational change initiatives are employed in the post-secondary education setting. This exploratory proof-of-concept study is examining which approaches and which types of leaders, in which institutional contexts, are advancing university and college faculty equity projects such as those funded by the NSF's ADVANCE and Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) programs. The project team is creating a toolkit that includes diagnostic rubrics and equity leadership practices checklists that universities and colleges can use to identify pathways to successful faculty diversity initiatives. The project includes pilot testing of the tools with institutions interested in implementing equity reform on their campuses. The study results and project outcomes will enable our nation's universities and colleges to identify key leverage points for systemic equity transformation and the requisite practices, policies, and cultural changes needed for achieving campus equity goals, providing a concrete means to on-board institutions into demonstrated successful equity approaches. This award is funded by the AGEP program, which supports the development, implementation and study of models to increase the number of URM faculty in STEM and STEM education research fields. It is also funded by the NSF ADVANCE program, which provides grants to develop systemic approaches to increase the participation of women in academic STEM careers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

当妇女和历史上代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）教师被聘用和晋升时，明天的STEM劳动力的成功专上教育得到了改善。尽管学术博士职位多样性的增加，但妇女和URM教师的份额大大少于她在美国人口中的份额或入学STEM的本科生人数。当组织变革倡议在大专教育的环境中采用组织变革计划时，应对STEM教师职业的障碍。 这项探索性概念验证研究正在研究哪些方法以及哪些类型的领导者（在哪些机构背景下，都在推进大学和大学教师平等项目，例如由NSF资助的NSF提前和研究生教育和教授（Agep）计划资助的领导者。该项目团队正在创建一个工具包，其中包括诊断性的专栏和股票领导实践清单清单，大学和学院可以用来识别成功教师多样性计划的途径。该项目包括对工具的试点测试，该工具与有兴趣在其校园内实施股权改革的机构进行了测试。研究结果和项目成果将使我们国家的大学和学院能够确定全身股权转型的关键杠杆点以及实现校园股权目标所需的必要做法，政策和文化变化，从而提供具体的手段，以便在机构机构中进入证明了成功的公平方法。该奖项由AGEP计划资助，该计划支持模型的开发，实施和研究，以增加STEM和STEM教育研究领域的URM教师数量。它还由NSF Advance计划提供资金，该计划提供了赠款，以开发系统的方法来增加妇女在学术STEM职业中的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准来评估值得通过评估来支持的。
