  7. Leadership Awards • Recognize contributions with widespread impact by individuals and institutions, and • Enable further progress • Colleges & Universities • Professional Societies • Other Not-for-Profits

  8. Leadership Awards • 8 to 12 awards • 3-year Standard Grant • Up to $300,000 total • Changes likely in scope and budget (+) in next competition

  11. ADVANCE What Next? • Revised guidelines expected November 2004 • Fellows component may be integrated into other program opportunities • Leadership component likely to offer wider range of options and budget • Institutional transformation focus likely to continue, with greater emphasis on integrating research findings

  12. ADVANCE Learning from Experience • Next round Institutional Transformation proposals will likely require scholarly expertise on gender and/or organizational change on the leadership team right from the start • Time is too scarce to reinvent wheels; use the resources, the research findings, and the methodologies already developed in the social sciences and other relevant disciplines • Ditto for evaluation and assessment: don’t reinvent, get expert help and advice • Management matters; have a plan and the right people involved

  13. Challenges • Understanding and integrating the linkages between cognition, attitudes, and behavior; drawing on research on organizational culture, change, leadership, and gender in the academy • Sustainability: What happens at the end of the award? What changes are in place, how will they be sustained? • Evaluation: How do you know when you are successful?
