The project proposes a study that examines how social and professional networks mediate the conversion of women's qualifications to career outcomes and specifically addresses how and why do networks matter for women's career outcomes in science and engineering. The study proposes a two-phase approach: (1) conduct a baseline national survey of scientists and engineers in six STEP fields; (2) conduct a network analysis of "critical mentors" aimed at uncovering the networks that emerge around key faculty. The two-stage design will provide detailed multi-level quantitative data for statistically modeling and rich qualitative evidence that enhance the quantitative analysis.

该项目提出了一项研究，探讨社会和职业网络如何调节女性资格向职业成果的转化，并具体探讨网络如何以及为何对女性在科学和工程领域的职业成果产生重要影响。 该研究提出了一个两阶段的方法：（1）对六个STEP领域的科学家和工程师进行基线全国调查； (2) 对“关键导师”进行网络分析，旨在揭示关键教师周围出现的网络。 两阶段设计将为统计建模提供详细的多层次定量数据，并为增强定量分析提供丰富的定性证据。
