The overall mission of the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers. The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of a national science and engineering academic workforce that includes the full participation of women in all levels of faculty and academic administration, particularly at the senior academic ranks through the transformation of institutional practices, policies, climate and culture. This Institutional Transformation project involves the implementation of a coordinated campus effort to achieve institutional transformation to increase the participation and advancement of women faculty in the sciences and engineering at the Utah State University.   less

The ADVANCE Program at New Mexico State University began in 2002, with a successful Institutional Transformation grant from the National Science Foundation. This grant continues to work to extend women’s participation in academic careers in the sciences and engineering. Between 2002 and 2006, the strategies used doubled the number of female scientists hired into faculty positions at NMSU from 17% to 34%. In 2006, New Mexico State University established ADVANCE as a permanent program at the Teaching Academy. This ongoing program has a broader focus, serving all faculty members, especially underrepresented faculty.   less
