CEAS has 151 full time faculty members organized into six units. Nearly all members of the faculty are tenure-track, full-time STEM engineers who, in addition to their research mission, share a commitment to UG and graduate education. Faculty members in the college generate about $28M in new research funding annually. STEM women faculty represent only 10% of the faculty of CEAS, with the various units ranging from 4% (Aerospace Systems) to 16% (EEB&ME).

COM has nearly 800 faculty members, of which 219 are considered STEM scientists for this proposal (i.e., they typically hold a Ph.D. and research constitutes their primary job responsibility, with some graduate teaching, but no clinical work). These STEM scientists work in 20 departments with diverse research specialties. Most are tenured or are on the tenure track and generate $169M a year in new research funding. A challenge unique to COM is that many of the STEM scientists are in units containing clinical faculty (e.g., Internal Medicine), and in some units STEM scientists are a small proportion of the faculty. While each STEM scientist is a member of a unit, many identify closely with interdisciplinary graduate degree programs (e.g., Neuroscience).

A&S has seven STEM departments: Anthropology, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geology, Geography, Mathematical Sciences, Physics, and Psychology. These units contain 198 faculty members who account for virtually all of the college’s $16M in external funding. Women STEM scientists vary from 8% in Geology to 56% in Psychology.
