ADVANCE Leadership Award

该奖项支持为科学和工程领域的未来和现任女教授开发和实施一个研讨会，作为NSFADVANCE领导奖计划的一部分，由乔治华盛顿大学和加劳德特大学的一组研究人员组成，他们在过去的五年里合作了一些项目，以增加女性和其他未被充分代表的少数民族在高级科学，工程和数学（SEM）职业中的数量。利用早期努力的经验，将来自不同机构的学生聚集在一起，无论大小，本地或遥远，专业社区（例如女子学院，传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和综合学院），考虑并为科学，工程和数学（SEM）的研究生院做准备，pi建议为潜在和现任的女性教师开发和运行一个类似的研讨会。拟议的活动将受益于FORWARD计划创建的管道：1997年开始的该计划的参与者将在拟议的奖励时间表内达到毕业和获得教师职位的阶段。会议将邀请来自全国各地的嘉宾参加，并邀请来自SEM成功项目和职业的演讲者。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 award supports the development and implementation of a workshop for prospective andcurrent female professors in science and engineering fields as part of the NSFADVANCE Leadership Awards Program by a group of researchers from the GeorgeWashington University and Gallaudet University who have collaborated for the past fiveyears on projects to increase the numbers of women and other underrepresentedminorities in advanced Science, Engineering and Mathematics (SEM) careers. Using experience from earlier efforts to bring together students from different institutions, large and small, local and far away, specialized communities (e.g. women's colleges, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and comprehensive, to consider and be prepared for graduateschool in science, engineering and math (SEM), the PIs propose to develop and run a similarworkshop for potential and current female faculty members in SEM. The proposed activity will benefit from the pipeline created by the FORWARD program: participants from this program started in 1997 will be reaching graduation and the stage of securing a faculty position within theproposed timeline of the award. Participation will be solicited from across the countryand will feature speakers from successful programs and careers in SEM.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.
