This award provides support for reconfiguration and revitalization of a project called Womenin Linguistics Mentoring Alliance (WILMA). WILMA was started in 1996 to provide women inlinguistics with mentors to help them acquire general survival skills and guide them through theearly stages of their careers, thus increasing the numbers of women in linguistics. WILMA grewout of discussions among members of COSWL (the Committee on the Status of Women inLinguistics) and others which indicated a need for consistent mentoring practices for women inlinguistics. In this project a new program which makes use of the internet for identifying and arranging mentorships will be initiated. The goal is to create a self-sustaining website where women in linguistics can go to search for mentors who share their interests and attributes.Effective mentoring is critically important for academic advancement and personaldevelopment in any field of study. WILMA is based on a model thatsupplements rather than replaces other mentoring, on the premise that students and facultybenefit from exposure to a range of points of view and alternative responses to practicalquestions. There is also additional benefit to developing contacts beyond the home departmentand campus. Thus, the kind of mentoring provided through WILMA can be useful even towomen lucky enough to have good mentors and advisors at their home institutions.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.

该奖项为一个名为女性语言学指导联盟(WILMA)的项目的重组和振兴提供支持。Wilma成立于1996年，旨在为语言学领域的女性提供导师，帮助她们获得一般的生存技能，并指导她们度过职业生涯的早期阶段，从而增加语言学领域的女性人数。Wilma Grewwout在COSWL(语言学中妇女地位委员会)和其他成员之间的讨论表明，需要对语言学中的妇女进行一致的指导实践。在这个项目中，将启动一项利用互联网确定和安排导师关系的新方案。我们的目标是创建一个自给自足的网站，让语言学领域的女性可以去寻找与她们有共同兴趣和属性的导师。有效的导师对任何研究领域的学术进步和个人发展都至关重要。Wilma基于的是一种补充而不是取代其他指导的模式，前提是学生和教师受益于接触到一系列观点和对实际问题的替代回答。发展内政部和校园以外的人脉也有额外的好处。因此，通过Wilma提供的那种指导即使在幸运的情况下也是有用的，因为他们在自己的机构有好的导师和顾问。这个项目得到了NSF高级计划的支持。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。
