ADVANCE Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination (PAID) Award: On Ramps into Academia

需要采取战略干预措施，以实现科学和工程学科教师队伍中的性别均等。从一所大学到另一所大学吸引STEM领域的女教师，在全国范围内是一场零和游戏。与其从其他大学招聘女性，不如利用一个尚未开发的博士人才库-提高妇女科学家和工程师在工业和研究实验室的水平。许多人在他们的研究中非常成功，这是研究型大学成功的主要因素。有了适当的信息，网络和支持的组合，他们可以成为非常成功的教授。该项目的目标是通过向博士提供专业发展，增加所有大学的女教师人数。妇女在工业或研究实验室中的比例。特别是，我们将在三年内每年举办一次为期两天的研讨会，为有兴趣向学术界过渡的妇女提供实用工具和支持。我们将专门针对那些至少超过博士学位三到四年的女性。和/或博士后职位。与会者和演讲者将形成一个社区，他们可以在求职期间，面试过程，启动谈判和学术界的第一年相互支持。总之，该项目将发展“坡道进入学术界。“智力优点：确定人们成功地从工业或国家实验室过渡到学术界所需的挑战，技能和资源是非常有趣的。评估计划，这是强烈针对成果评价，将有助于确定具体的最佳做法，鼓励妇女进入教师的途径。通过提供必要的技能和建议，以帮助妇女成功地从工业界过渡到学术界，UW ADVANCE将帮助开发进入学术界的第三条途径，除了目前雇用新的博士和博士后研究员以及雇用其他大学的女性的做法。进入学术界的第三条途径是一种新颖的招聘方法，也是扩大STEM女性教师队伍的创造性方式。更广泛的影响：该项目将扩大STEM学科的全国女教师队伍。即使是STEM女教师的少量增加也可以改善学科的形象，并鼓励更多的女性追求它们。

Strategic interventions are needed to achieve gender parity in the faculty ranks of science and engineering disciplines. Wooing women faculty in STEM from one university to another is, nationally, a zero-sum game. Instead of recruiting women away from other universities, there is a mostly-untapped pool of Ph.D.-level women scientists and engineers in industry and research laboratories. Many are very accomplished at their research, which is the primary figure of merit for success at Research-Extensive universities. With the proper mix of information, networking, and support, they could become very successful professors. The goal of this project is to increase the pool of women faculty available to all universities by providing professional development to Ph.D.-level women in industry or research laboratories. In particular, we will host a two-day workshop each year over a three-year period to provide practical tools and support to women who are interested in making the transition to academia. We will specifically target women who are a minimum of three-four years past their Ph.D. and/or postdoctoral position. The attendees and speakers will form a community who can support each other during the job application period, the interview process, the startup negotiations, and the first years in academia. In summary, the project will develop "On Ramps into Academia." Intellectual Merit: It is of great interest to determine the challenges, skills, and resources needed for people to successfully make the transition from industry or national laboratories to academia. The assessment plan, which is strongly directed at outcomes evaluation, will help identify concrete best practices to encourage women into faculty pathways. By providing the necessary skills and advice to help women make successful transitions from industry to academia, UW ADVANCE will help develop a third pathway into academia, in addition to the current practices of hiring new Ph.D.s and postdoctoral fellows and hiring women away from other universities. This third pathway into academia is an original approach to recruitment and a creative way to expand the pool of women faculty in STEM. Broader Impacts: This project will expand the national pool of women faculty in STEM disciplines. Even a small increase of STEM women faculty can improve the image of the disciplines and encourage more women to pursue them.
