ADVANCE Leadership Award: Women in Science and Engineering: A Guide to Maximizing their Potential

由科学、工程和公共政策委员会（COSEPUP）监督的一个特设委员会将为教师、学术管理人员和领导者、资助组织和政府官员编写一份报告指南，以最大限度地发挥女性科学家和工程师的潜力，并确保国家科学和工程研究事业的领导地位。在评估女性在学术教职人员中的代表性方面已经做了很多工作。然而，很少有研究充分考虑到职业发展的隐性和显性障碍以及种族和性别在检查大学教师中女性的代表性时的交叉性。我们需要的是综合这些数据，为招聘、雇用和留住女教师制定有效的政策和实践的综合跨学科指南。研究委员会将整合社会科学所有领域关于性别问题的大量现有数据，包括与机构招聘、保留和晋升做法和政策有关的数据。这项研究将把它的发现和建议提交给决定机构文化和实施政策的每一层教员、管理人员和资助者。该委员会将建议切实可行的措施和政策，以减轻性别偏见和其他限制女性科学家和工程师职业发展的因素。多样性似乎是创造力和生产力的一个重要因素。在企业界，研究表明，拥有更多女性领导职位的公司在财务上表现更好。在科学与工程领域获得本科和研究生学位的人中，女性所占的比例越来越大，然而，她们还没有被聘为与这一比例增加相称的学术教师职位。该委员会将以学术为重点，但也将审查其他研究部门，以确定有效的做法，并就女性研究人员的招聘、雇用、晋升和保留提出调查结果和建议

An-ad hoc committee, overseen by the Committee on Science, Engineering, and PublicPolicy (COSEPUP) will produce a report guide to faculty, academic administrators and leaders,funding organizations, and government officials to maximize the potential of women scientistsand engineers and ensure the leadership of the nations science and engineering (S&E) researchenterprise.Much work has been done to assess the representation of women in academic faculty. However, few studies have adequately considered implicit and explicit barriers to career advancement and the intersectionality of race and gender when examining the representation of women among university faculty. What is needed is a synthesis of this data to produce a comprehensive interdisciplinary guide to effective policies and practices for recruiting, hiring, and retaining women faculty. The study committee will integrate the wealth of data available on gender issues across all fields of S&E, including data pertaining to institutional recruitment, retention, and promotion practices and policies. This study would address its findings and recommendations to each of the layers of faculty, administration, and funders who determine institutional culture and implement policies. The committee will recommend practical measures and policies to mitigate gender bias and other factors that limit career advancement for women scientists and engineers.Diversity appears to be an important factor in creativity and productivity. In the corporate world, studies have shown that the companies with more women in leadership positions performed better financially. Women are an increasing proportion of those earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in S&E fields, however they have not been hired into academic faculty positions commensurate with this increasing representation. The committee will focus on academe, but will examine other research sectors to determine effective practices and develop findings and recommendations for recruiting, hiring, promotion, and retention of women S&E researchers
