Project Abstract
UCI FORWARD will maximize support to incoming and continuing junior faculty in order to expedite preparation for favorable mid-career reviews. It will build on and complete a career ecosystem dedicated to inclusive excellence in STEM fields. This program builds on UCI’s 2017-18 Advancing Faculty Diversity Year 2 program. Building on the Year 2 recruitment cohort, campus leadership now seeks to capitalize on these successful outcomes by proposing a Career Concierge approach; Faculty Career Team grants; complementary workshops; and Career Travel Awards.
