This publication provides an overview of the development of the Self-Efficacy as Faculty Change Agent for Diversity (SE-FCA-D) scale. The 5-item scale recently appeared as an additional module on the Higher Education and Research Institute (HERI) Faculty Survey 2019-2020 for the 10 BUILD programs within the Diversity Program Consortium that are participating in the Enhance Diversity Study, supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH U54GM119024). The piloted scale is meant to measure DPC Hallmark of Success FAC-16: “Strong self-efficacy to act as a change agent to enhance diversity in biomedical research and research training environments” (DPC, 2019). Once data are available, scale validation will move forward and findings will be shared.
