This proposal seeks to develop an ADVANCE Leadership Initiative for Minority Female Environmental Faculty (LIMFEF) that is aimed at enhancing the presence and stature of minority female faculty in American academic institutions. The initiative will focus on Black, Hispanic and Native American faculty in environmental departments and schools, and will pursue the following goals in addressing barriers faced by minority women in developing professional careers in academia. o Conduct a national study to determine the status of female minority environmental faculty, o Develop a national database with contact information of minority female environmental faculty, o Develop a clickable e-book of minority female environmental faculty featuring profiles of "pioneers" in the field and "rising stars,"o Convene a national conference of minority female environmental faculty to discuss the results of the study, network, develop mentoring relationships, and craft leadership strategies. The goal 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. Through this program, NSF seeks to support new approaches to improving the climate for women in U.S. academic institutions and to facilitate women's advancement to the highest ranks of academic leadership, thereby broadening participation in the Nation's science and engineering enterprise.

这项提议旨在制定一项少数民族女性环境教师高级领导倡议(LIMFEF)，旨在提高少数族裔女性教师在美国学术机构中的存在和地位。该倡议将把重点放在环境部门和学校的黑人、西班牙裔和美国原住民教师身上，并将在解决少数族裔女性在学术界发展职业生涯方面面临的障碍方面追求以下目标。O开展一项全国性研究以确定少数民族女性环境教员的地位，建立一个少数民族女性环境教员联系信息的国家数据库，开发一本可点击的少数民族女性环境教员电子书，介绍该领域的“先驱”和“后起之秀”，召开一次全国少数民族女性环境教员会议，讨论研究结果、建立网络、发展指导关系和制定领导战略。高级方案的目标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。通过这一计划，NSF寻求支持改善美国学术机构中女性环境的新方法，并促进女性晋升到最高学术领导级别，从而扩大对国家科学和工程事业的参与。
