Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit received a $299,980 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct an institutional self-assessment and develop a five-year faculty equity strategic plan. The goal is to identify and address potential organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of diverse STEM faculty at Duquesne, a private Catholic university in Pittsburgh. The grant will fund an examination of how institutional culture, policies, and other factors may differentially impact STEM faculty, especially those from underrepresented groups. The project is expected to produce data-driven insights and a tailored action plan to improve equity for STEM faculty at Duquesne. This NSF ADVANCE Catalyst award reflects the agency's mission to foster gender equity in academia by supporting organizational change initiatives at higher education institutions. The project is scheduled to run from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2026.
