ADVANCE Award [Award # pre-populated]. We understand that this award has recently ended or will be ending shortly. If you hover your cursor over a bolded word, a small text box will pop up with the definition. The following types of ADVANCE awards are being surveyed:Partnerships for Learning and Adaptation Networks – Institutions of Higher Education (PLAN-IHE), Partnerships for Learning and Adaptation Networks – STEM Disciplines (PLAN-D), Adaptations, and Partnerships.

Access to information about the award, such as annual reports, evaluation reports, and internal notes, may be helpful in responding to the questions. This survey was designed so that you can skip sections and questions and focus only on the areas that apply to the ADVANCE project. This survey has 4 sections.

• Section 1: ADVANCE Strategies

• Section 2: Factors that Affect Sustainability

• Section 3: ADVANCE Products and Dissemination

• Section 4: Closing Question

Section 1: ADVANCE Strategies

Please hover your cursor over words in bold to see a definition.

1. Please indicate which of the following types of strategies the ADVANCE project team worked on DURING NSF ADVANCE funding.

• For partnership projects focused primarily on ADVANCE strategies at the partner institutions/organizations, please answer for the [Awardee Institution pre-populated] rather than for the collective work of the partnership project.

• If the partnership project focused on ADVANCE strategies implemented beyond the partner institutions/organizations (for example with international, national, regional, and/or state scope), please answer for the collective work of the partnership project.

• For projects that do not fall under the definition of a partnership project, please answer based on the project strategies.

Types of Strategies	Worked on DURING NSF ADVANCE funding
	Yes	No	Don’t know/Don’t Remember
Skill development for faculty, deans, department chairs, and/or other academic leaders (e.g., Leadership Training, Awareness training of faculty equity issues; Training on implementing faculty equity strategies; Training on using faculty equity data to inform decision making; etc.)	Go to Skill (Q2)	Go to Products (Q7)	Go to Products (Q7)
Other activity and/or intervention aimed to transform the culture and climate of institutions and/or STEM discipline(s) (e.g., creating prestigious rewards and recognitions for excellent teaching and service; developing and supporting affinity groups of faculty; etc). Exclude products (e.g., toolkits, materials, and resources) developed as part of the project. Information about products will be collected in a separate section of this survey	Go to Other Strategies (Q3)	Go to Products (Q7)	Go to Products (Q7)
Policies and/or procedures focused on faculty equity (with gender as one or the only focus) for tenured/tenure-track and/or non-tenure track faculty (e.g., Dual Career, Parental Leave or Modified Duties, Stop the Tenure Clock, etc.)	Go to Policies and/or Procedures (Q4)	Go to Products (Q7)	Go to Products (Q7)

Note: Once the entire table has been filled out, the respondents should be directed as stated below:

• Situation 1:

  • If Q1a, Q1b, and Q1c (the whole table) = “No” and/or “Don’t Know/Don’t remember”, then go to Q7.

• Situation 2:

  • If Q1a= “Yes”, Go to Q2

  • If Q1b= “Yes”, Go to Q3

  • If Q1c= “Yes”, Go to Q4

  • NOTE: If the respondent checks “Yes” for 2 or more of these options, they should go to all of the corresponding sub-sections in order and then go to the next applicable question. Example: If Q1a = “Yes” and Q1c= “Yes”, then the respondent will go to Q2 and fill out the whole sub-section, then go to Q4 and fill out the whole sub-section, then go to the next applicable question.
