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.

当我们国家的大学和学院聘用和晋升女性和历史上代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 教师时，未来 STEM 劳动力的成功高等教育就会得到改善。尽管学术博士职位的多样性有所增加，但女性和 URM 教员的比例远低于她们在美国人口中的比例或就读 STEM 的本科生数量。当高等教育环境中采用组织变革举措时，可以加速解决 STEM 教师职业生涯的障碍。 这项探索性概念验证研究正在研究哪种方法、哪种类型的领导者、在哪种机构背景下，正在推进大学和学院教师股权项目，例如由 NSF 的 ADVANCE 以及研究生教育和教授联盟 (AGEP) 资助的项目程序。该项目团队正在创建一个工具包，其中包括诊断规则和股权领导实践清单，大学和学院可以使用它们来确定成功实施教师多元化举措的途径。该项目包括与有兴趣在校园内实施股权改革的机构一起对这些工具进行试点测试。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系统性股权转型的关键杠杆点以及实现校园公平目标所需的必要实践、政策和文化变革，为在校机构实现成功的股权方法。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 URM 在 STEM 和 STEM 教育研究领域的教师数量。它还由 NSF ADVANCE 计划资助，该计划提供赠款来开发系统方法，以增加女性在学术 STEM 职业中的参与。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
