The partnership, which is supported by a three-year, $996,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, will focus in particular on faculty with two key intersectional identities: (1) underrepresented gender and ethnicity and (2) underrepresented gender and family responsibilities. The goal of the partnership is to implement and assess institutional systemic change strategies that include the development of cross-institutional mentoring communities, male advocates and allies training, department chair professional development, and a cross-institutional women鈥檚 caucus.
