PURPOSE OF THE EVALUATION:  This evaluation examines the sustainability of ADVANCE strategies after funding ended, as well as the diffusion of these strategies. The findings will inform management and enable programmatic changes. In addition, the findings will inform the development of other NSF programs focusing on sustainability and diffusion.


PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY: The survey gathers information on formal policies and/or procedures, infrastructure mechanisms, and accountability structures that existed at the institution before the ADVANCE grant, as well as ADVANCE strategies that awardees worked on during the grant that continued after the it ended. Additional questions will gather information on efforts to disseminate ADVANCE strategies and products (e.g., toolkits, materials, and resources) developed with the ADVANCE grant. Survey data will supplement information extracted from proposals, annual reports, and previous ADVANCE studies.

 

PROCEDURES: The survey should take approximately 45 minutes. To assist you in responding to the questions, we recommend that you have access to annual reports, project notes, evaluation reports, project outcomes report, and any other material associated with ADVANCE Award ID [Award # pre-populated].

BENEFITS: Survey responses will help NSF leadership and ADVANCE program staff increase their understanding of changes regarding gender equity strategies at the awardee institution and efforts to disseminate these strategies within and outside the institution. In addition, survey responses will benefit the ADVANCE awardee community and future applicants by providing information on lasting strategies that address systemic inequities in the academic profession and workplaces.

VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION: We appreciate your effort in setting aside time to complete the survey if you so choose; however, you are under no obligation to participate. If you choose not to participate, there will be no impact on your current NSF awards or your ability to obtain future NSF awards.
