Supported by a $1M external grant from NSF, FSU ADVANCE aimed to leverage data and best practices to enhance faculty success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, alongside participation and engagement with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) SEA Change program, inclusive of Medical and Health fields. We aimed to inform organizational solutions specific to FSU to support the success of faculty in their careers, their academic units and/or research centers, and at the university. This has included investigator team-led research and external evaluation, to shape ongoing sustainable efforts to support FSU's Strategic Plan for research excellence.
