or download the call for proposals (PDF) The ISU ADVANCE Program is supported by the National Science Foundation through an ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award. The ISU ADVANCE Program is funded for 5 years (2006-2011). The goal of the ISU ADVANCE Program is to investigate the effectiveness of a multilevel collaborative effort to produce institutional transformation that results in the full participation of women faculty in science, technology, engineering and math fields in the university. Our approach focuses on transforming departmental cultures (views, attitudes, norms and shared beliefs), practices (what people say and do), and structures (physical and social arrangements) as well as university policies through active participation of individuals at all levels of the university.
