Item Grant-Writing Bootcamp: An Intervention to Enhance the Research Capacity of Academic Women in STEM(2017-06) Smith, Jessi L.; Stoop, Chatanika; Young, Michaela; Belou, Rebecca M.; Held, SuzanneBroadening the participation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematical (STEM) fields is more than a social-justice issue; diversity is paramount to a thriving national research agenda. However, women face several obstacles to fully actualizing their research potential. Enhancing the research capacity and opportunity of women faculty requires purposeful changes in university practice. Therefore, we designed an intervention, a grant-writing bootcamp informed by self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan 2012), to support the participants\' feelings of relatedness, autonomy, and competence. Three grant-writing bootcamps were run over an 18-month period. Using a pre-and post-test design over the span of 1 year (and contrasting results with a comparison sample who were not part of the intervention) showed that the women participating in the grant-writing bootcamp significantly increased the number of external grants submitted, the number of proposals led as principal investigator, the number of external grants awarded, and the amount of external funding dollars awarded.Item ADVANCE Project TRACS Charrette Posters 2014(2014-04) Smith, Jessi L.; Burroughs, Beth; Handley, Ian M.; Stoop, ChatanikaThese posters, presented in 2014, show data on recruiting new female faculty hires, job satisfaction, baseline indicators, and opinions on existing programs.
