Enhancing Women's Roles in Science and Engineering: The ADVANCE Program Overview (2001-2004)

The ADVANCE program aimed to increase the participation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers through grants awarded for Institutional Transformation, Leadership, and Fellows proposals from 2001 to 2004. Significant funding, up to $750,000 per year, allowed institutions such as the University of Michigan and Georgia Tech to implement effective strategies that led to marked increases in the recruitment and hiring of women in STEM fields. The program emphasized sustainable change in academic climates and leadership diversity to promote long-term benefits for women faculty.
