This award supports the development of a new database of science and engineeringdepartment chairs and the development and administration of a comprehensive survey ofdepartment chairs. The department chairs survey will collect information about the respondents'personal and professional background, their career-related perceptions and attitudes, and theinstitutional setting of their department. This data will support detailed multivariate analysisexamining the determinants of women's entry into, or lack of movement into, positions ofdepartmental leadership. The lack of demographic data on department chairs and the processes by which they are chosen represents a significant gap in the knowledge about the progress of women in assuming a key academic leadership position. To address this gap in knowledge, project objectives are to develop and implement a department chairs survey and to construct a new database of demographic and career-related information on science and engineering department chairs.This study will help to achieve significant change by bringing to light the criteria and processesused to select chairs. Institutional accountability and presence of public data on the proportionsof female chairs can make a profound difference in the level of attention paid to theappointments. Systemic change must include not only increasing leadership diversity in theupper administrative levels, but also at the local level (i.e., the department). The chair is alsocritical to initiating other change within the department.This project is jointly supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program and the National Institutes of Health. 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.

该奖项支持开发一个新的科学和工程系主任数据库，并支持开发和管理一项关于系主任的全面调查。该部门负责人的调查将收集关于受访者的个人和职业背景、他们与职业相关的看法和态度以及他们所在部门的机构设置的信息。这些数据将支持对妇女进入或不进入部门领导职位的决定因素进行详细的多变量分析。缺乏有关系主任及其遴选过程的人口统计数据，表明在对妇女担任关键学术领导职位的进展情况的了解方面存在很大差距。为了解决这一知识差距，项目目标是制定和实施系主任调查，并建立一个关于科学和工程系主任的人口统计和职业相关信息的新数据库。这项研究将通过揭示挑选主席的标准和过程，帮助实现重大变化。机构问责制和关于女性主席比例的公开数据的存在，可以对对任命的重视程度产生重大影响。系统性变革不仅必须包括增加高层行政级别的领导多样性，而且还必须包括在地方一级(即部门)增加领导多样性。该主席对在系内发起其他变革也是至关重要的。该项目由NSF高级计划和国家卫生研究院共同支持。高级方案的总体任务是通过增加妇女在学术、科学和工程职业中的代表性和地位，增加妇女在科学和工程工作中的参与度。
