AB  - Many universities employ internal grant programs to support faculty in developing their research, and a number of ADVANCE institutions have established similar programs focused on women faculty. While this enables faculty to launch work in their domain area, the processes around obtaining funding may not be well developed. Faculty employed at striving institutions - those with scholarship and funding aspirations that have increased relatively recently - often have less experience with external competitive funding procedures. Further, universities with a shorter external funding track record may not yet have fully developed processes to support faculty in these endeavors. The Connect Grants program supported domain research by women faculty and projects to promote institutional transformation that aligned with an active National Science Foundation ADVANCE grant (award 1209115). This process also helped faculty understand the processes around external funding, thus preparing them for future external funding opportunities. By mirroring and modeling the proposal, review and reporting processes of external grant programs such as the NSF, the Connect Grants program provided proposers and awardees with an opportunity to gain skills that are critical to faculty career development. Additionally, purposeful communications were built into the grant structure to increase program and awardee credibility and awardee support, specifically for women faculty. This paper chronicles the Connect Grants program since its inception in 2013, describing the rationale, the design and implementation, and the evaluation process within the context of modeling an external award process. While the Connect Grants program mirrors and is modeled after external agency funding processes, this grant program may in turn serve as a model for other universities that are striving for similar career advancement for women faculty.
