ADVANCE-IMPACT AT GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY
ADVANCE-IMPACT Workshops
Welcome to ADVANCE-IMPACT at Georgia State University, a partnership between Georgia State and Florida International University supported by the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE Program.
About
ADVANCE-IMPACT at Georgia State
With the support of a $1 million ADVANCE adaptation grant from the National Science Foundation, ADVANCE-IMPACT (Intersectionality and Mentoring in the Professoriate for Advancement, Community and Transformation) aims to adapt and implement practices at Georgia State University to support individuals, who are recruited, promoted, and retained in STEM tenure track positions and leadership roles. This will be achieved through a partnership between Georgia State and Florida International University (FIU).
ADVANCE-IMPACT will adapt proven programs and procedures to achieve four key objectives as listed below.
Our Objectives
In collaboration with FIU, we will adapt proven programs and procedures to:
Bystander Leadership Program
Georgia State will adopt and adapt FIU’s Bystander Leadership Program (BLP) in collaboration with FIU to educate STEM faculty and administrators about strategies to improve the university’s organizational culture.
Faculty Mentoring
Georgia State will collaborate with FIU to adapt and implement the University of Michigan's mentoring program. Mentorship is considered one of the most crucial factors in a faculty member’s success, and the benefits include enhanced productivity, professional development, advancement, job satisfaction, retention and greater access to opportunities.
Service Allocation
The ADVANCE-IMPACT Policy Review Committee will assist with the development and review of policies and procedures that impact the retention and advancement of faculty in STEM. The focus during the grant period will be on policies and procedures for service distribution, with the long-term (beyond the life of the current NSF funding) goal of participating routinely in developing and reviewing policies and procedures that impact faculty in STEM.
