ADVANCE Leadership Award

ppi建议对女性地球科学家进行教育，让她们了解阻碍她们在学术上取得进步的障碍，以及克服这些障碍的策略。他们的目标是增加女性在美国学术界获得科学终身职位和终身职位的比例。项目目标是：1)通过对美国地球科学部门的调查来确定女性在学术界的现状；2)对学生进行焦点小组和调查；在国家地球科学会议上，终身教职员工和非终身教职员工，以确定女性在该领域进步的障碍是什么；3)举行为期一天的研讨会，调查美国女性在地球科学学术职位上代表性低的原因；4)向地球科学专业的学生传播信息。初级教师和学术管理人员教育女性学生和教师克服障碍的策略，鼓励女性从事学术地球科学事业，并教管理人员如何招募和留住合格的地球科学女性。这种增加女性在地球科学领域的代表性的方法采取了一种“供给侧”或指导方法，重点是教女性她们需要知道的东西，以便(1)在不受歧视的情况下在该领域接受教育，(2)谈判工资和合同，(3)了解在她们的机构获得终身教职所需的条件。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。

The PIs propose to educate women geoscientists on the barriers to their progress in academiaand on strategies to overcome those barriers. Their goal is to increase the proportion of women ingeoscience tenure track and tenured positions in academia in the United States.Project objectives are to:1) determine the current status of women in academia through a survey of geosciencedepartments in the United States,2) conduct focus groups and surveys of students, tenured and untenured faculty and non-tenuretrack faculty at national geoscience meetings to determine what is the perception of barriersto women's progress in the field,3) hold a 1-day workshop to investigate the causes of the low representation of women inacademic geoscience positions in the United States, and4) Disseminate the information to geoscience students, junior faculty and to academicadministrators to educate women students and faculty on strategies to overcome barriers,encourage women to pursue academic geoscience careers and teach administrators how torecruit and retain qualified women in geoscience.This approach to increasing women's representation in the geosciences takes a 'supply-side' or mentoring approach, with a focus on teaching women what they need toknow to become (i) educated in the field without discrimination, (ii) to negotiate salaries andcontracts, and (iii) to find out what is required to achieve tenure at their 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.
