The University of Nebraska at Omaha will undertake an institutional self-assessment to identify potential organizational inequities (unjust or unfair) policies and practices that result in differential professional outcomes for some STEM faculty. The ADVANCE Catalyst project will result in a five-year STEM faculty equity plan tailored to the University of Nebraska at Omaha context and institutional data that will guide institutional actions to address any issues identified during the grant. This project will examine how policies, procedures, practices, and other factors interact across levels of an institution and affect different faculty in STEM. The institutional self-assessment and five-year strategic plan will set a foundation to improve equity for STEM faculty at the institution. This work will benefit STEM disciplines as well as non-STEM disciplines due to the interconnected nature of institutional policy. Results of the Catalyst project will be regularly communicated with the University of Nebraska at Omaha community. The project is expected to add to our understanding of STEM faculty equity issues at non-R1, doctoral-granting regional universities.This project is jointly funded by NSF ADVANCE and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research. 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 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.

内布拉斯加州大学奥马哈大学将进行机构自我评估，以确定潜在的组织不平等（不公正或不公平）政策和实践，从而为某些STEM教师带来不同的专业成果。 Advance Catalyst项目将在奥马哈的环境和机构数据上为内布拉斯加州大学定制的五年STEM教师权益计划，该计划将指导机构行动以解决赠款期间确定的任何问题。该项目将研究政策，程序，实践和其他因素如何在机构层面上相互作用，并影响STEM的不同教师。 机构的自我评估和五年的战略计划将奠定基础，以提高机构STEM教师的股权。由于机构政策的相互联系性质，这项工作将使STEM学科以及非系统学科受益。催化剂项目的结果将定期与奥马哈社区的内布拉斯加州大学进行交流。预计该项目将增加我们对非R1的STEM教师权益问题的理解，该项目是博士授予的区域大学。该项目由NSF Advance共同资助，既定的计划，以刺激竞争性研究。 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“催化剂”奖项为机构公平评估提供了支持，并在学术，非营利性高等教育机构中制定了五年的教职权益战略计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来支持的。
