UC ADVANCE PAID is a program sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) leveraging the 10-campus structure at UC to enable campuses to recruit, retain, and advance more women and under-represented minority women faculty in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Academic Personnel at UCOP has been awarded one of four grants allocated to the University of California. Vice Provost Carlson will serve as Principal Investigator for the UCOP program which begins with Part One, the "Recruitment Data Analysis Project." Part One will gather and analyze faculty search data to understand why women and under-represented minorities hired continues to lag availability and how to build on success and best practices. Part Two, the five "California Challenge Roundtables," will convene faculty and academic administrators to build stronger cross campus community and establish STEM recruitment and retention as a standard part of diversity conversations.
For 10 years, the NSF has sponsored the ADVANCE Program, which has as its goal increasing the diversity of faculty in STEM: "The goal of the ADVANCE Program is to develop systematic approaches to increase the representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers, thereby contributing to the development of a more diverse science and engineering workforce."
The UC ADVANCE PAID Program is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Grant no. HRD1106712.
