How will your activity promote the interest, participation, and/or success of women with disabilities in STEM faculty careers?
How will your activity achieve these objectives? (Include draft agenda and expected number of participants.)
For what expenses do you request funding from AccessADVANCE (e.g.,travel expenses for a speaker, refreshments for participants, facility rental, printed materials)? Note that we cannot reimburse for staff time or indirect cost.
Who will do what, and when, to publicize, implement, and evaluate the results of your activity?
How will you know you have achieved activity objectives (e.g., use of evaluation forms, observations, interviews), especially documenting increasing the number of women with disabilities successfully pursuing STEM faculty careers? We particularly encourage you to follow-up with participants after the event to determine impact. Following the activity, grant recipients are required to submit a project summary, evaluation form, and participant surveys. The evaluation form is available from the AccessADVANCE Minigrant Evaluation Forms page.
