The Status of Women in Academic Science and Engineering: A Comparative Study of 14 Countries

9528313卡明斯拟议的研究项目将分析现有的和独特的国际数据库，卡内基调查的教授，比较妇女教师在科学和工程的地位在14个国家（美国，英国，德国，荷兰，俄罗斯，瑞典，香港，日本，韩国，巴西，智利，墨西哥，以色列和澳大利亚）。 这一国际数据库目前没有得到充分利用。 对个别国家进行了分析，但没有进行国家间的比较。 拟议的机构和国家因素的特点，影响妇女在追求职业生涯中的科学和工程学院的分析是国家科学基金会和科学决策者的重大利益。

9528313 Cummings The proposed research project will analyze an existing and unique international database, the Carnegie Survey of the Professoriate, to compare the status of women faculty in science and engineering within 14 countries (the United States, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Israel, and Australia). This international database is currently underutilized. A few individual country analyses have been conducted, but no comparisons across countries have been made. The proposed analysis of characteristics of institutions and national factors which influence women in pursuing careers in science and engineering faculty is of significant interest to NSF and science policymakers.
