Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring

妇女参与科学协会（AWIS）指导项目模式的主要力量源于其在全国范围内复制的能力。随着AWIS在美国各地、在中国北京举行的联合国妇女大会（1995年）、在前苏联、南非和整个欧洲的演讲，这种指导模式已经实现了国际影响力和知名度。该项目涉及各个学科，有不同的组织参与，如美国志愿队、数学妇女协会、美国能源部、爱荷华州交通部和美国林务局；贝尔大西洋基金会或斯克里普斯研究所等公司；以及埃德蒙兹社区学院、爱荷华州立大学和斯坦福大学等机构。被提名人的优势包括：为吸引女学生进入科学领域创造了一个全国性的模式。许多机构都采用了模范战略。程序的多强度性质…自1990年以来，该项目已经指导了6000多名女学生。总而言之，这次科学、数学和工程指导卓越总统奖的提名是一次出色的提名。这个项目已经产生了大量的书面材料，其他机构/组织已经使用这些材料成功地实施了他们自己的指导模式。通过其大规模的运作和影响力，AWIS指导项目显著增加了女科学家的数量，她们反过来可以成为其他刚刚开始接受培训的人的导师。

The main force of the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) Mentoring Project model stems from its ability to be replicated nationwide. With AWIS presentations made throughout the United States, at a UN Conference on Women in Beijing, China (1995), in the former Soviet Union, South Africa, and throughout Europe, this mentoring model has realized international influence and distinction. The program has reached across disciplines with diverse organizations participating such as Americorps, Association for Women in Mathematics, U.S. Department of Energy, Iowa Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Forest Service; corporations such as Bell Atlantic Foundation or The Scripps Research Institute; and institutions such as Edmunds Community College, Iowa State University, and Stanford University. The strengths of the nominee include: . Have created a national model for attracting female students into science. . Model strategy has been adapted in many institutions. . The multi-strength nature of the program. . The program has mentored over 6,000 female students since 1990. In summary, this nomination for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring is an excellent one. The program has produced numerous written materials that other institutions/organizations have used to implement successful mentoring models of their own. Through its large scale operation and influence, the AWIS mentoring project is significantly increasing the number of women scientists who can in turn be mentors for others just beginning their training.
