ADVANCE at UNH
ADVANCE at UNH began with an ADVANCE PAID (Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation and Dissemination) grant, funded by the National Science Foundation. The grant focused on increasing the representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers, which included awards for UNH Collaborative Scholarship and Karen Von Damm Leadership Development Grants.

That ADVANCE PAID work led to a larger National Science Foundation ADVANCE project, the UNH ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (IT) Grant.
