The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of Cincinnati (UC) a $999,977 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant, entitled "ADVANCE PARTNERSHIP. A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO THE RECRUITMENT, RETENTION AND ADVANCEMENT OF WOMEN IN THE ACADEMY GROUNDED IN INTERSECTIONALITY", will be used to explore the lived experiences of diverse faculty groups and develop, pilot, and evaluate interventions to increase equity in the recruitment, retention, and promotion of engineering faculty at UC and its partner institutions. The project will employ qualitative community-based participatory research methods in Phase 1, followed by the implementation and assessment of action plans in Phase 2. In addition to traditional dissemination, the project will create impact stories to raise awareness of the everyday experiences of engineering faculty members. This 5-year grant, which runs from July 2024 to June 2029, aligns with the NSF ADVANCE program's goal of fostering gender equity in academic institutions by addressing organizational barriers.
