The goal of this Leadership Award is to increase the representation of minority women faculty in science and engineering. It employs an innovative approach to study, understand and address the unique challenges facing women of color in the academy by drawing on the interdisciplinary knowledge base of both the social sciences and the hard sciences and engineering, by bringing women faculty together across disciplines for self empowerment, support and constructive problem solving. A series of national workshop-based conferences provide a framework for professional development, the development of effective strategies and sharing of best practices and for sustenance of a community of practice that participates in networking, mentoring, data collection and dissemination. Under the direction of the PI, the wealth of data and individual narratives collected within the community of practice are developed in a format suitable for publication and broad dissemination. The cross-disciplinary initiative supported by this ADVANCE Leadership Award contributes to the success and advancement of minority women faculty in science and engineering, thereby enhancing their retention and increasing their ranks. The increased presence of these women enhances faculty diversity and provides the role models and self images that contribute to the enhanced recruitment, retention, and ultimate success of minority and women students, all of which is necessary to build a diverse science and engineering workforce required to maintain national prosperity

该领导奖的目标是增加少数民族女教师在科学和工程领域的代表性。它采用创新的方法来研究，理解和解决有色人种妇女在学院面临的独特挑战，通过利用社会科学和硬科学和工程的跨学科知识基础，将跨学科的女教师聚集在一起，进行自我赋权，支持和建设性的问题解决。 一系列以讲习班为基础的国家会议为专业发展、制定有效战略和分享最佳做法以及维持参与联网、辅导、数据收集和传播的实践社区提供了一个框架。在PI的指导下，在实践社区内收集的大量数据和个人陈述以适合出版和广泛传播的格式发展。 由这个先进的领导奖支持的跨学科举措有助于少数民族女教师在科学和工程的成功和进步，从而提高他们的保留和提高他们的排名。 这些女性的增加增强了教师的多样性，并提供了榜样和自我形象，有助于加强少数民族和女性学生的招聘，保留和最终成功，所有这些都是建立保持国家繁荣所需的多元化科学和工程劳动力所必需的
