The University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) received a $299,497 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct an institutional self-assessment and develop a 5-year strategic plan to address potential organizational inequities impacting STEM faculty. The UNCW ADVANCE CATALYST: UNC-BY-THE-S.E.A. (STEM Equity Access) project will examine how culture, policies, and other factors interact across the institution and differentially impact STEM faculty. The resulting strategic plan will guide actions to improve equity for STEM faculty, with benefits extending to non-STEM disciplines due to the interconnected nature of institutional policies. The project is expected to provide insights into STEM faculty equity issues at regional, medium-sized, Carnegie R2 universities. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026.
