This project includes five specific initiatives. The four programmatic initiatives include: Corridor
Networking
Recruiting
Practices
The fifth initiative, The Social Sciences Research Initiative, will contribute to better understanding of how social networks can facilitate career development of STEM faculty.

Syracuse University is one of seven universities funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) 2010 ADVANCE competition to receive a five-year, $3.4 million grant to ensure that women faculty in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields have a greater presence at the University.

Tip sheet for establishing effective search committees

Syracuse University's multi-disciplinary project, titled "The Inclusive Connective Corridor: Social Networks and the ADVANCEment of Women STEM Faculty," aims to change the face of the next generation of faculty in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The overarching strategy of this project is to create an equity-based, inclusive "connective corridor" to facilitate and anchor social relationships among faculty women and men in the 12 STEM departments at Syracuse University, and to link these faculty and units within a web of "resource hubs" on and off campus that arise from interdisciplinary and cross-sector (campus, industry, and community) collaborations. ICC builds on existing successful partnerships that have resulted in unique research opportunities for STEM faculty. The project will create a passageway of active relationships, opportunities, and resources that will unleash the power of diverse talent.
