ADVANCE-IMPACT: AIM 4
Review of GSU Policies and Best Practices
Overview
The ADVANCE-IMPACT Policy Review Committee will assist with the development and review of policies and procedures that impact the recruitment, retention, and advancement of faculty in STEM. The focus during the grant period will be on policies and procedures for service distribution and faculty review and promotion, with the long-term (beyond the life of the current NSF funding) goal of participating routinely in developing and reviewing policies and procedures that impact faculty in STEM.
