ASPIRED research related to campus climate, institutional indicators of STEM diversity,
and policies & practices at UM.
Interactive dashboards using indicators data for STEM women faculty compiled by ASPIRED.
The 2021 ASPIRED Department Climate Survey was administered in Spring 2021. An initial email invitation to participants, with two subsequent reminders. The survey population included all full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty, non-tenure faculty and instructors, post docs, staff, and administrators from the College of Engineering and the natural science departments in College of Arts & Sciences (CAS).
Work-life integrate grants provide support for faculty who are at critical junctures in their professional careers and whose research productivity has been directly affected by personal life events (e.g., illness of a dependent, parent, spouse/partner, or oneself; complications from childbirth; combination of major life events).
UM ADVANCE collected pre and post survey data from mentors and mentees participating in the UM-Connect Mentoring program. The survey was designed to provide data on the effectiveness of the program and to inform ADVANCE programmatic activities.
UM ADVANCE collected survey data from the UM-Connect Luncheon participants. The survey was designed to provide data on the effectiveness of the program component and to inform ADVANCE programmatic activities.
UM ADVANCE collected pre and post survey data from grant recipients participating in the UM-Integrate grant program. The survey was designed to provide data on the effectiveness of the program and to inform ADVANCE programmatic activities. The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the major themes and results from the data collected.
A dual career policy has been developed as part of ASPIRED. To inform policy development, two Dual Career Policy Surveys (one for chairs and one for faculty) were conducted.
