SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Quantitative 

Evaluation of the ADVANCE Program. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–0209. 

Abstract 

Abstract: The ADVANCE Program 

was established by the National Science 

Foundation in 2001 to address the 

underrepresentation and inadequate 

advancement of women on STEM 

(Science, Technology, Engineering, and 

Mathematics) faculties at postsecondary 

institutions. The evaluation being 

conducted by the Urban Institute 

focuses on the implementation of 

ADVANCE projects at institutions 

throughout the nation. The three major 

funding components—institutional 

transformation, leadership, and 

partnership awards—as well as all 

cohorts funded that completed their 

funding cycles will be included. The 

study will rely on a thorough review of 

project documents, telephone 

interviews with all grantees, and 

detailed case studies at selected sites. 

The goal of the evaluation will be to 

identify models of implementation and, 

depending on outcomes by model, 

conduct case studies at selected 

institutions to understand how 

ADVANCE models operate and may be 

effective in differing settings. 

Respondents: Faculty and staff at 

institutions of higher education 

awarded an ADVANCE grant from NSF. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 151 (total).
