The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) will be Adapting Successful Practices to foster an Inclusive, Respectful, and Equitable Environment (ASPIRE2) to significantly and systematically transform the campus in ways that will expand and enrich the diversity of its faculty in STEM fields and beyond. Through the ASPIRE2 Project, UT Dallas will adapt and implement successful activities to foster a more inclusive campus climate, recruit more women in STEM fields, (including women of color and women from underrepresented minority groups), and aid in the retention of all women faculty, in STEM and across campus. The goal of the project is help UT Dallas, a major research university, better reflect and represent the world in terms of gender and racial diversity. By doing so, UT Dallas can better serve its community, state and country, helping solve the national crisis of the disproportionate lack of tenured-system women, especially in STEM fields. The outcomes of the ASPIRE2 Project are expected to bring about structural and cultural transformation and tackle persistent problems in innovative and intersectional ways. The ASPIRE2 activities include: Climate (training for deans, department/program heads, and faculty will be conducted; a department/program head council will be formed; an Advocates and Allies Program will be developed; a biennial climate survey will be administered; and equity dashboards for the University and individual schools will be instituted), Identification and Recruitment (Activities include future faculty career development workshops, paying careful attention to the composition of and training for search committees, and providing faculty liaisons to search committees), and Retention and Advancement (strengthening the existing faculty mentoring program, creating a Women in STEM employee resource group, and augmenting existing workshops for faculty promotion and tenure). This project will enhance the climate on the UT Dallas campus while broadening the participation and success among women faculty, particularly women of color and women from underrepresented minority groups. Building on existing efforts, UT DALLAS is well-poised to create a more welcoming and inclusive environment by adapting previously vetted initiatives and strengthening the relationships across campus between administrators, faculty, and staff through the ASPIRE2 activities. Increasing faculty diversity will fuel new research collaborations while enriching teaching, learning and the overall student experience. 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 institutions 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.

得克萨斯大学达拉斯分校（UT Dallas）将改编成功的实践，以促进包容性，尊重和公平的环境（ASPIRE2），以显着和系统地改变校园，以扩大和丰富其在STEM领域中的多样性的方式及以后。通过ASPIRE2项目，UT Dallas将适应和实施成功的活动，以培养更具包容性的校园气候，在STEM领域招募更多女性（包括来自代表性不足的少数群体的有色妇女和妇女），并协助保留所有女性教职员工，在STEM和整个校园中。该项目的目标是帮助Dallas，一所大型研究，在性别和种族多样性方面更好地反映了世界。通过这样做，UT达拉斯可以更好地为其社区，州和国家服务，帮助解决终身系统妇女（尤其是在STEM领域）缺乏终身系统妇女的国家危机。预计Aspire2项目的结果将带来结构和文化转型，并以创新和交叉方式解决持续问题。 ASPIRE2活动包括：气候（将进行院长，部门/计划负责人和教职员工的培训；将成立部门/计划主委员会；将制定倡导者和盟友计划；将进行双年期气候调查；并且将管理；将建立大学和各个学校的股权仪表板），身份证明和招聘（活动包括未来的教师职业发展研讨会，仔细关注搜索委员会的组成和培训，并向搜索委员会提供教职员工），以及保留和保留和保留和保留和保留。进步（加强现有的教师指导计划，在STEM员工资源小组中创建妇女，并增加现有的教师晋升和任期的研讨会）。该项目将增强UT达拉斯校园的气候，同时扩大女性教职员工的参与和成功，尤其是有色人种的少数群体的有色妇女和女性。在现有的努力的基础上，UT达拉斯通过改编先前审查的计划并通过Aspire2活动来加强校园之间的校园之间的关系，从而创造更热情和包容的环境。越来越多的教师多样性将推动新的研究合作，同时丰富教学，学习和整体学生经验。 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“适应”奖项为适应和采用基于证据的策略对高等教育的学术，非营利机构以及非学术的非营利性组织提供了支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被视为值得的宣布通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持。
