Despite women earning over half of U.S. bachelor’s degrees, they represent only 27% of the STEM workforce and face various barriers, including lack of role models, mentoring, and structural support. The National Science Foundation's ADVANCE program, particularly its Institutional Transformation (NSF-IT) grants, aimed to improve gender equity by funding projects that address institutional policies and practices. The article highlights the importance of data-driven approaches and the need for ongoing support and adaptation of initiatives to sustain progress in promoting women's participation in STEM. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Transactions of the American Philosophical Society is the property of University of Pennsylvania Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
