Partnership for Adaptation, Implementation and Dissemination (PAID)
What is PAID?
A National Science Foundation (NSF) Program to equip senior administrators, deans, and chairs to advance gender equity and diversity in the professoriate. It is funded by a three year grant awarded to the UC Irvine and Co-Investigators at the Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, and Santa Barbara campuses. The PIs and key campus personnel have developed a leadership enrichment program entitled Leading through Diversity for academic leaders from the five participating campuses. It consists of symposia, retreats and workshops scheduled between January 2007 and January 2010.
Who is PAID?
Together the five UC campuses in southern California have formed a Partnership for Faculty Equity and Diversity. This Partnership builds on and augments the experience of the NSF/UCI ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Program for gender equity now in its sixth year. It represents an impressive level of cooperation among the nation’s leading public research universities for a common challenge: the recruitment and advancement of women and under-represented minority faculty at UC campuses.
Why Lead through Diversity?
National studies, such as the 2006 National Academies sponsored Beyond Bias, and reports by UC Presidential task forces on Gender Equity (2002) and Faculty Diversity (2006) have consistently highlighted the fundamental role of leadership in transforming institutions. In that respect, senior administrators, deans and their chairs are all accountable for implementing strategies to recruit, retain, and advance a diverse professoriate.
