The most recent University Strategic Plan for 2006 - 2009 reiterates the University's commitment to 'uncompromising integrity, with imagination and pride evident in every aspect of our work.' Thus, the goal of this tutorial, sponsored by the ADVANCE-IT Program is to provide search committees with the research-based best-practices tools they need to recruit a diverse faculty...

This document is a guidebook for the interview process. It helps "assist faculty in improving merit-based hiring, and address unconscious bias to improve reliability and validity of the interview process." Scenarios, best practices, sample questions, and more are found here.

This toolkit was written to assist Department Chairs in retaining their faculty across all ranks. These best practices should be applied to all faculty, not just the stars of a department. Retention efforts, when applied equitably to all faculty, can improve the general climate for everyone and can lead to better productivity and greater satisfaction for all faculty.

This document is a tool to use when evaluating a potential new hire. “The following offers a method for department faculty to provide evaluations of job candidates. It is meant to be a template for departments that they can modify as necessary for their own uses. The proposed questions are designed for junior faculty candidates; however, alternate language is suggested in parentheses for senior faculty candidates.”

ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (ADVANCE: IT) funded programs are required annually to report data related to progress toward the goals of the program. The methods and procedures outlined in this toolkit will help you to meet the NSF reporting requirement.

This document is a letter to the deans and department heads at the University of Michigan in Science and Engineering. It presents the results of an assessment that they participated in with a finding that most people at the university were unfamiliar with the available initiatives. The rest of the document is a series of helpful information.

This presentation from the 2004 ADVANCE PI meeting about UW ADVANCE includes tips on hiring and retaining a diverse faculty.

“This is the second of two “toolkits” developed to provide ADVANCE: Institutional Transformation (ADVANCE: IT) awardees with guidance on program evaluation. The first toolkit focused on the numerical indicator data that are required by the National Science Foundation on an annual basis with an emphasis on developing common reporting to increase the potential for comparability of the data. Data comparability will be essential to enable a national-level evaluation of the ADVANCE: IT program. To some extent, t
