ADVANCE Leadership Award

本提案旨在支持北卡罗莱纳州立大学妇女与性别研究（WGS）项目中科学与工程领域的女性（WISE）项目的扩展。WISE项目通过教师发展研讨会将女性研究纳入本科和研究生课程，促进女性和有色人种在科学和工程领域的进步。目前的提案是为感兴趣的教师和研究生提供为期两年的资助，以支持同伴研讨会。建议的研讨会项目的直接目标是促进参与者之间的社区，解决他们对妇女研究的理论和研究的兴趣，并促进科学和工程部门和教室内的知情对话。拟议的研讨会项目的长期目标是为招募和留住女性和有色人种作为科学和工程领域的教师和研究生提供一个制度上可持续的工具，促进关于实现这一目标的最佳实践的全国对话，并为科学和工程领域的女性贡献新的奖学金。本项目由美国国家科学基金会ADVANCE计划资助。ADVANCE计划的总体任务是通过增加女性在学术科学和工程职业中的代表性和进步来增加女性在科学和工程劳动力中的参与度。

This is a proposal to support an expansion of the Women in Science and Engineering(WISE) Project in the Women's and Gender Studies (WGS) Program at North CarolinaState University. The WISE project promotes the advancement of women and people ofcolor in science and engineering through the integration of women's studies into theundergraduate and graduate curriculum via faculty development seminars. The currentproposal is for two years of funding to support companion seminars for interested facultyand graduate students. The immediate goals of the proposed seminar project are to fostercommunity among the participants, address their interests in theory and research fromwomen's studies, and promote informed conversation within science and engineeringdepartments and classrooms. The long-term goals of the proposed seminar project are to provide an institutionally sustainable vehicle for the recruitment and retention of women and people of color as faculty and graduate students in science and engineering, promote the national dialogue about best practices in accomplishing this, and contribute new scholarship by and about women in science and engineering tothe field of women's studies.This project is supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program. The overall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.
