Minority Women: Research as a Tool for Increasing Their Participation in Science and Engineering

研究启动和改进司负责监测和建议影响代表人数不足的群体参与科学和工程的政策。作为增加少数族裔妇女参与科学和工程的工具的研究规划会议于1987年3月25日至26日在亚特兰大举行。这是第一次深入研究少数族裔女科学家和工程师面临的特殊问题的会议，会议为基金会努力增加申请其方案的少数族裔妇女人数提供了指导。汇编这次会议的会议记录并予以公布，是向少数族裔女科学家和工程师传达信息的重要手段。

The Division of Research Initiation and Improvement is responsible for monitoring and recommending policies affecting the participation of underrepresented groups in science and engineering. The Planning Conference on Research as a Tool for Increasing the Participation of Minority Women in Science and Engineering was held in Atlanta on March 25-26, 1987. It was the first conference to examine in depth the special problems faced by minority women scientists and engineers and the meeting provided guidance for the Foundation in its efforts to increase the number of minority women who apply to its programs. Putting together the proceedings of this meeting and publishing them is an important means of communicating information gained to minority women scientists and engineers.
