ELAM and ELATE research team describes how academic leaders view their roles in advancing others
How do academic STEM leaders identify, select, develop and support emerging leaders? What can each of us learn about the roles of academic executives and how we might advance ourselves and others as leaders? In the second publication sponsored by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Cornerstones of Leadership Program Evaluation team of Page Morahan, Susan Ambrose, Sharon Dannels and Diane Magrane (P.I.) describe how chairs, deans, provosts and presidents from STEM fields manage three interdependent roles: Matchmakers who aim to determine fit of positions to talent, Mentors and Sponsors who advocate to advance careers, and Institutional strategists who aim to achieve organizational goals while minimizing risk. Results of interviews from 32 leaders prior to the opening of ELATE are described in table, quotes, and poetic transcription; analysis addresses the challenges of supporting the expansion of diverse leaders and supporting the traditional processes of academe.

AAMC CFAS News, July 13, 2018:
Even when considering efforts to boost diversity at the leadership level in medicine, the overwhelming number of department chairs and chiefs at top hospitals are white and male, reports the Boston Globe. The article notes that the problem is compounded by a pipeline that remains limited in diversity - and is notably more pronounced in Boston than in other parts of the country.
"As institutions throw more effort and attention towards improving diversity, parallel efforts towards ensuring inclusion are trailing behind. The gulf between the two creates a work environment that is often unkind, undermining the very diversity of professional staffing that hospitals need and purport to value," reported Scientific American in an article on diversity and inclusion in medical education. The author is Jennifer Tsai, a fourth-year medical student at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.

Although there remain significant systemic barriers for women to have successful careers in biomedical science, a new study published in PNAS and covered in an article in Science showed that once women scientists receive a major grant from the NIH, their funding futures often shadow those of their male counterparts.
In related news, the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources published a report suggesting that American universities make their hiring and pay practices fairer for women from ethnic minorities, since they earn less than 87% of their white male counterparts' salaries. Nature commented on the report.
