The University of Oklahoma, the George Washington University and GallaudetUniversity join together for a three-year collaborative effort to enhance, present andassess the FORWARD to Professorship workshop for pre-tenured women in science,engineering and mathematics (SEM). The workshop has been developed and presentedthree times under a previous ADVANCE Leadership award. The need persists: each yearthe workshops are oversubscribed and participants report satisfaction from, and enthusiasm for, the workshop experience. Between 87 and 99 percent of the participants rated the sessions as good or excellent in this last year (2005) and 100% of the participants said they would recommend it to their colleagues. In the next three years, the collaborative team plans:__ to continue the workshop,__ to enhance specific elements of the workshop such as the negotiation segment,__ to extend the coverage to include a new component entitled MIND THE GAP inwhich they will concentrate on women who have had or are planning a SEM careerinterruption,__ to develop a support structure beyond the workshop, and__ to do more detailed evaluation and assessment.__ Finally, the co-PIs will work with their respective institutions to create lasting changewith respect to diversity in the faculty ranks.The intellectual merit of the project lies in the development of cross-disciplinary skillstraining methods and materials for women (and men) contemplating, or in, tenure-trackfaculty positions, the creation of a community of women with similar high level trainingin SEM disciplines that can be reached and studied over a number of years, and a studyof the situation for women in SEM career interruptions.The broader impacts of the project are extensive. The project aims to broaden theparticipation of women, minorities and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in the faculty ranks,thereby contributing to the national need to diversify the SEM workforce. The projectprovides access to role models in these populations as well as a support network, both of which will enhance success rates in the academy. This increased success will in turn influence the student population in SEM disciplines. The project also influences and creates systemic change in institutions of higher education by informing the incoming classes of faculty, as well as deans and chairs through their participation in the workshop and in the findings. Graduate and undergraduate students will also learn from working on the project and be encouraged to pursue a path leading to professorship.

俄克拉荷马州大学、乔治华盛顿大学和加劳代特大学携手开展为期三年的合作，以加强、展示和评估面向科学、工程和数学领域终身职前女性的“迈向教授职位”研讨会（SEM）。该研讨会已经开发和提出了三次在以前的先进领导奖。这种需求持续存在：每年研讨会都超额认购，参与者报告对研讨会的体验感到满意和热情。在过去的一年（2005年），87%至99%的参与者将这些课程评为良好或优秀，100%的参与者表示他们会向同事推荐这些课程。在今后三年中，合作小组计划：继续举办讲习班，加强讲习班的具体内容，如谈判部分，扩大覆盖面，包括一个题为“注意差距”的新内容，重点关注已经或正在计划中断SEM职业生涯的妇女，在讲习班之外建立一个支助结构，并进行更详细的评价和评估。最后，联合PI将与各自的机构合作，在教师队伍的多样性方面创造持久的变化。该项目的智力价值在于为考虑或正在终身教职的女性（和男性）开发跨学科的技能培训方法和材料，建立一个妇女社区，在SEM学科中接受类似的高水平培训，可以在几年内达到和研究，该项目的广泛影响是广泛的。该项目旨在扩大妇女、少数民族、聋人和重听人在教师队伍中的参与，从而满足国家对教育部劳动力多样化的需求。该项目提供了这些人群中的榜样以及支持网络，这两者都将提高学院的成功率。这种增加的成功将反过来影响SEM学科的学生群体。该项目还影响和创造高等教育机构的系统性变革，通过参加讲习班和调查结果向即将入学的教师以及院长和主席通报情况。研究生和本科生也将从该项目的工作中学习，并被鼓励追求通往教授的道路。
