The Murray State University (MSU) ADVANCE Adaptation project, will improve equity for STEM faculty at MSU, which is a regional comprehensive and primarily undergraduate public university in rural western Kentucky. MSU serves a region that has been historically underserved in STEM education. The MSU Adaptation project will adapt programs from the University of New Hampshire (UNH), University of Washington (UW), and Jackson State University (JSU). MSU LEARN will adapt UNH's interactive theatre program to reduce implicit bias on search, tenure and promotion committees. MSU GROW will address retention and leadership development by adapting JSU's writing retreats and UW's faculty workshops and continuing Murray State's peer mentoring circles. MSU LIVE will address work/life balance by creating a President's Work-Life Task Force, educating the MSU community about existing policies, and creating/revising policies regarding workplace flexibility and spousal accommodation. This project builds on a successful ADVANCE Catalyst award by continuing the Mentoring Circle program and continue annual data collection. This Adaptation project will also complement and contribute to MSU's long-term Strategic Initiatives Plan to recruit, retain and engage a diverse faculty. MSU-LEARN will contribute to hiring of diverse candidates and removing bias from tenure and promotion processes; MSU-GROW will provide professional development and mentoring opportunities for both early-career and mid-career faculty; and MSU-LIVE will make MSU a family-friendlier workplace. The project is designed to ultimately benefit all faculty at MSU. Finally, this project has the potential to inform all institutions of higher education in Kentucky through a diversity plan required to be reported to the state Council on Postsecondary Education. The NSF ADVANCE program is designed to foster gender equity through a focus on the identification and elimination of organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of diverse faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in policies, processes, practices, and the organizational culture and climate. ADVANCE "Adaptation" awards provide support for the adaptation and adoption of evidence-based strategies to academic, non-profit institution of higher education as well as non-academic, non-profit organizations.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.

默里州立大学（MSU）的预先适应项目将改善MSU的STEM教师的股权，MSU是一所地区综合，主要是肯塔基州乡村的本科公立大学。 MSU服务于STEM教育中历史悠久的地区。 MSU改编项目将适应新罕布什尔大学（UNH），华盛顿大学（UW）和杰克逊州立大学（JSU）的计划。 MSU Learn将适应UNH的互动剧院计划，以减少对搜索，任期和晋升委员会的隐性偏见。 MSU Grow将通过改编JSU的写作务虚会和UW的教师讲习班，并继续穆雷州立大学的同伴指导圈子来解决保留和领导力发展。 MSU Live将通过建立总统的工作工作组，向MSU社区建立有关现有政策的教育以及制定/修改有关工作场所灵活性和配偶住宿的政策来解决工作/生活平衡。该项目通过继续进行指导圈计划并继续年度数据收集来建立成功的预付催化剂奖。 这个适应项目还将补充，并为MSU的长期战略举措计划做出贡献，以招募，保留和参与多样化的教师。 MSU-Learn将有助于雇用各种候选人，并从任期和晋升过程中消除偏见； MSU Grow将为早期职业和中级教师提供专业发展和指导机会； MSU-Live将使MSU成为家庭友好的工作场所。 该项目旨在最终使MSU的所有教师受益。 最后，该项目有可能通过向州议会上学后教育委员会报告的多样性计划来告知肯塔基州的所有高等教育机构。 NSF Advance计划旨在通过关注和消除阻碍各种教师在学术机构中的全面参与和进步的组织障碍来促进性别平等。 抑制公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策，过程，实践以及组织文化和气候中。 提前的“适应”奖项为适应和采用基于证据的策略对学术，非营利性高等教育机构以及非学术，非营利组织的支持提供了支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的智力和更广泛的影响来通过评估来支持的，并被认为是值得的。
