The goal of the NSF ADVANCE Catalyst at the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras campus (UPRRP) is to assess critical components of the organizational culture of the institution that prevent effective “counting” of academic women and their efforts and contributions in STEM. Using a cultural organizational (SCO) framework the project will address four questions: 1) What role does institutional research and institutional data dissemination play in organizational culture, 2) Are gender equity and inclusion integrated into observable artifacts, values, norms, and underlying assumptions at UPRRP, 3) What role does gender equity and inclusion play in the socialization of new UPRRP members, including gaining academic citizenship, and 4) ) To what extent can strategic microplanning catalyze change at UPRRP?The UPRRP Catalyst project is called VoCEA for Virtual Observatory for Culture Equity in Academia, vocea means “to raise your voice” in Spanish. The project will collect and analyze institutional data about STEM faculty to identify and understand systemic gender-based equity and organizational culture issues. The project is designed to open discussions across the institution and question the status quo. VoCEA will result in the development of a five-year STEM faculty equity plan for UPRRP with performance indicators tied to equity, multiculturality, and accountability. 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 "Catalyst" awards provide support for institutional equity assessments and the development of five-year faculty equity strategic plans at academic, non-profit institutions of higher education.This project was supported with co-funding of the HSI Program which aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education, broaden participation in STEM, and build capacity at HSIs. Achieving these aims, given the diverse nature and context of the HSIs, requires innovative approaches that incentivize institutional and community transformation and promote fundamental research (i) on engaged student learning, (ii) about what it takes to diversify and increase participation in STEM effectively, and (iii) that improves our understanding of how to build institutional capacity at HSIs.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.

波多黎各Rico Rio Piedras校园（UPRRP）的NSF先进催化剂的目标是评估机构组织文化的关键组成部分，以防止有效地“计算”学术妇女的“计数”及其在STEM中的努力和贡献。 Using a cultural organizational (SCO) framework the project will address four questions: 1) What role does institutional research and institutional data dissemination play in organizational culture, 2) Are gender equity and inclusion integrated into observational artifacts, values, norms, and underlying assumptions at UPRRP, 3) What role does gender equity and inclusion play in the socialization of new UPRRP members, including gaining academic citizenship, and 4))在UPRRP上，战略性微量旗在多大程度上可以催化变化？UPRRP催化剂项目被称为Academia文化资产的虚拟观测值的Vocea，Vocea的意思是用西班牙语“提高您的声音”。该项目将收集和分析有关STEM教师的机构数据，以识别和理解基于性别的公平和组织文化问题。该项目旨在开放整个机构的讨论，并质疑现状。 Vocea将导致建立五年的STEM教师权益计划，并具有与股权，多元文化和问责制相关的绩效指标。 NSF Advance计划旨在促进性别平等，以侧重于识别和发展组织障碍，这些组织障碍阻碍了潜水员教师在学术机构中的全面参与和进步。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“催化剂”奖为机构公平评估提供了支持，并在高等教育的学术非营利机构中制定了五年的教师权益战略计划。该项目得到了HSI计划的支持，该项目旨在增强较不过分的STEM教育，在HSIS上扩大STEM和建立能力。鉴于HSI的不同本质和背景，实现这些目标需要创新的方法，激励机构和社区转型，并促进有关订婚学生学习的基础研究（i），（ii）关于多样化和增加参与STEM的参与以及（iii），并提高了我们对宣布的统计范围的理解，并促进了我们的统计范围。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。
