DIS: A Guide for Recruiting and Advancing Women Scientists and Engineers in Academia

美国国家科学院下属的国家研究委员会科学与工程领域的女性委员会（CWSE）正在准备一份指南，介绍学术机构为在学术界招募、保留和提升科学与工程领域的女性而实施的最佳政策和计划。该指南旨在成为全国许多学术机构复制成功项目的实用工具。CWSE将使用正式和非正式的网络来确定每个级别最成功的项目，例如，本科生招聘，减少大一和大二的流失率，研究生招聘和保留，向博士后奖学金过渡。这将包括联系授权组织、学科协会、学术管理协会、教师团体和非营利倡导组织。将审查来自不同规模的公立和私立机构的项目。已确定的方案将被要求提供数据，说明由于其方案的执行而增加了妇女的参与。将从这组项目中选出一部分项目进行实地考察。该项目将包括多达五次的实地访问，访问那些有成功项目的机构，采访相关的学生、教师和管理人员。本指南将不会列出任何院校的名称。该指南的目标读者包括学院和大学校长、院长、教务长和其他行政官员、系主任、教师以及其他有兴趣和能力建立一个成功的项目，促进妇女参与科学和工程的个人。美国国家科学院（NAS）编制的其他指南也产生了广泛的影响。以前的NAS指南已在全世界分发了数万份。《作为一名科学家》是美国国家科学院关于科学伦理的指南，已被译成多种语言重印。NAS的指导指南——顾问、教师、榜样、朋友：如何成为理工科学生的导师——将作为本指南的模板，由一些院校分发给它们的全体教员，并作为它们指导工作的基础。许多其他的教师指导项目都是基于指导指南。

The Committee on Women in Science and Engineering (CWSE), National Research Council, of the National Academy of Sciences is preparing a guide to the best policies and programs that academic institutions have implemented to recruit, retain, and advance women in science and engineering in academia. The guide is meant to be a practical tool in the replication of successful programs at many academic institutions across the country.CWSE will use both formal and informal networks to identify the most successful programsfor each level, e.g., undergraduate recruitment, reducing attrition in freshman and sophomore years, graduate student recruitment and retention, transition to postdoctoral fellowships. This will include contacting granting organizations, disciplinary societies, academic administration societies, faculty groups, and non-profit advocacy organizations. Programs from different size institutions, both public and private, will be reviewed. Identified programs will be asked to provide data on the increased participation of women resulting from the implementation of their programs. From this group a subset of programs will be selected for site visits. The project will include up to five site visits to institutions with successful programs to interview the students, faculty, and administrators involved. No institution will be identified by name in the guide.The target audience for the guide includes college and university presidents, deans, provosts and other administration officials, department chairs, faculty, and other individuals with the interest and capacity for establishing a successful program that promotes the participation of women in science and engineering.Other guides produced by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) have had a wide impact. Tens of thousands of copies of previous NAS guides have been disseminated worldwide. On Being A Scientist, the NAS guide on science ethics, has been reprinted in several languages. The NAS guide on mentoring, on which this guide will be modeled, Advisor, Teacher, Role Model, Friend: On Being a Mentor to Students in Science and Engineering, is distributed by some institutions to all their faculty, and serves as the basis of their mentoring efforts. Many other faculty mentoring programs are based on the mentoring guide.
