3. Institutional Transformation (IT) Grant Overall goal: Increase participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through increased representation and advancement of women in academic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers through research-based interventions that affect the workplace environment Funding: $3.6 million, 5-year grant starting 9/2008 there are currently 35 ADVANCE IT institutions; 5 in the Big Ten, 3 in Ohio 6 have already graduated NSF ADVANCE Program

4. Improve recruitment and retention of women & minority faculty Improve diversity of faculty & students Establish a pool of senior women available for leadership positions ADVANCE: Expected Benefits

5. Transforming the institution involves addressing entrenched culture barriers some of which are nearly 150 years old. The National Academies published Beyond Bias and Barriers in 2007 to identify the issues and to outline remedies for universities and professional societies. The Hidden Brain Drain Project published the Athena Factor in 2008 concerning women’s careers in STEM industries with recommendations about retention. NSF sponsored Gender Equity Workshops for chairs of Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science & Eng. ADVANCE: Part of a National Conversation

13. We have more women now on our faculties than in 1998 while the number of men have remained constant. Of the 103 assistant professors in 1998, 69% of the men and 44% of the women were still on the faculty 7 years later; only 3 were denied tenure. Of the 1998 associate professors, 42% of the men and 60% of the women were still in rank 7 years later. Since 1998, women constituted 38% of the assistant professor hires, 16% of the associate professor hires and 11% of the professor hires. Of those hired since 1998, 95% of the men and 87% of the women are still on the faculty. During the past year, our Colleges lost 4 women. Salient Points from Faculty Flux Diagrams
