The University of Nevada Las Vegas will lead a collaborative ADVANCE Partnership project with colleagues at the University of Maryland College Park, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Purdue University, Georgia State University and the American Political Science Association (APSA) to implement a project to address sexual harassment in Political Science. The project will support the wider adaptation of empirically-tested interventions such as department climate studies, upstanding bystander training, department-level facilitated dialogues, and policy changes that support an improved climate. The project capitalizes on the power that professional associations have to model, facilitate, and incentivize change in the climate and culture of the disciplines they serve through a substantial partnership with the APSA. The project has the potential to reach across the entire discipline into the 125 PhD-granting departments and approximately 1,125 BA and MA departments of political science. This discipline-wide approach is truly national in scope, and this program will be shared with other disciplines as a model for other professional organizations. The main output of this project will be the Climate Toolkit to incentivize and empower political science departments to: improve awareness and practices; achieve significant, measurable improvements in the overall climate in academic departments; and increase department-level attention to broader inclusion issues. The project will result in new understanding of 1) interinstitutional incentivization of organizational change, 2) the prevalence of sexual harassment across academic department cultures, 3) the efficacy of bystander training for effecting changes in institutional cultures 4) diological approaches to improving workplace climate, and 5) the relationship between improved workplace relationships and the ability to adopt equity-focused policy through shared governance structures. 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 "Partnership" awards provide support to collaborations among STEM professional societies and academic and non-academic non-profit organizations designed to broaden the implementation of evidence-based equity strategies and have a national or regional reach.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.

内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校将与马里兰大学帕克分校、马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校、普渡大学、佐治亚州立大学和美国政治科学协会 (APSA) 的同事共同领导一个 ADVANCE 合作伙伴项目，以实施一个解决性问题的项目政治学中的骚扰。该项目将支持更广泛地采用经过实证检验的干预措施，例如部门气候研究、正直的旁观者培训、部门级促进对话以及支持改善气候的政策变化。该项目利用了专业协会通过与 APSA 建立实质性合作伙伴关系来塑造、促进和激励其所服务学科的气候和文化变化的力量。 该项目有潜力覆盖整个学科，包括 125 个博士学位授予院系和大约 1,125 个政治学学士和硕士学位院系。这种跨学科的方法确实是全国性的，并且该计划将与其他学科共享，作为其他专业组织的典范。 该项目的主要成果将是气候工具包，以激励和授权政治科学部门：提高认识和实践；学术部门的整体氛围取得重大、可衡量的改善；并提高部门级对更广泛的包容性问题的关注。该项目将带来对以下方面的新认识：1) 组织变革的机构间激励；2) 学术部门文化中性骚扰的普遍性；3) 旁观者培训对影响机构文化变革的有效性；4) 改善工作场所氛围的对话方法； 5) 改善工作场所关系与通过共享治理结构采取注重公平的政策的能力之间的关系。 NSF ADVANCE 计划旨在通过重点识别和消除阻碍学术机构多元化教师充分参与和进步的组织障碍来促进性别平等。 阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、流程、实践以及组织文化和氛围中。 ADVANCE“合作伙伴”奖为 STEM 专业协会与学术和非学术非营利组织之间的合作提供支持，旨在扩大基于证据的公平战略的实施并在全国或地区范围内产生影响。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并具有通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
