ADVANCE Partnerships for Adaption,Implementation, and Dissemination (PAID) Award: From Postdoc to Faculty: Transition Issues for Women Scientists

国家博士后协会（NPA）将适应、实施和传播ADVANCE资助接受者和其他人采用的成功模式和最佳实践，以帮助女科学家在学术界取得进展。该项目将重点关注两个方面的适应：1)将针对当前女性教师的努力转化为女性成为教师的培训，即博士后；2)将针对一般博士后人群的专业发展努力转化为解决女性在博士后培养期间的独特需求。这些转化工作的主要目的是帮助妇女成功地从博士后培训阶段过渡到终身教职人员的行列。主要项目组成部分包括：-通过调查和有针对性的后续行动，审查预支接受者为解决这些问题所作的所有机构努力；-召集一个ADVANCE博士后焦点小组，以确定奖学金是否有助于他们获得教职；-组织全国性别与博士后问题首脑会议；-为峰会参与者和其他希望在其机构实施博士后项目的人员提供持续的技术援助；-编写和散发一份关于帮助妇女从博士后成功过渡到教员的模式和建议做法的概要报告；-项目评估？美国的短期效果是：提高认识，作为行动的催化剂，并帮助峰会参与者增加从博士后队伍中聘请的女教员的数量。智力价值声明：该项目活动将增强科学和工程社区对有助于女性从博士后学者成功过渡到终身教职人员的因素的认识和理解。这项研究将为促进妇女从博士后晋升到教师职位并最终获得终身职位或同等地位的成功过渡提供有效策略和有希望的实践方面的新信息基础。更广泛的影响声明：该项目活动将广泛影响具有科学和工程领域博士学位的女性，她们寻求在项目为期三年的时间内从博士后培训成功过渡到教师任命。它还将广泛影响从事博士后培训的学术管理人员，以及提高女性在科学和工程教职岗位上的地位。更广泛地说，这些活动将通过促进培训和过渡机制的建立和维护，帮助女性从博士后晋升到教师职位，影响那些考虑在科学和工程领域担任教职的后代。

The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) will adapt, implement and disseminate successful models and best practices employed by ADVANCE grant recipients and others to assist women scientists to advance in academia. This project will focus adaptation in two areas: 1) translating efforts targeted at current women faculty to women training to become faculty, i.e., postdocs; and 2) translating professional development efforts targeted at the general postdoctoral population to address the unique needs of women during the postdoctoral training period. The primary purpose of these translational efforts will be to assist women in making a successful transition from the postdoctoral training period to the ranks of tenure track faculty.Major project components include:- Conducting a review of all institutional efforts made by ADVANCE recipients to address these issues, using a survey and targeted follow-up;- Convening a focus group of ADVANCE postdoctoral fellows to determine whether the fellowship helped them to obtain a faculty position;- Organizing a National Summit on Gender and the Postdoctorate;- Providing on-going technical assistance to summit participants and others who wish to implement programs for postdocs at their institutions;- Preparing and disseminating a compendium report of models and recommended practices for helping women make a successful transition from postdoc to faculty;- Evaluation of the project?s short-term effectiveness in: raising awareness, serving as a catalyst for action, and helping summit participants increase the number of women faculty hired from the ranks of the postdoctorate.Intellectual Merit Statement: The project activities will enhance the knowledge and understanding of the science and engineering communities regarding factors that contribute to a successful transition from postdoctoral scholar to tenure-track faculty member among women. The research will create a new base of information regarding effective strategies and promising practices for promoting a successful transition that enables women to advance from postdoc to faculty appointments and ultimately gain tenure or equivalent status.Broader Impact Statement: The project activities will broadly impact women with PhDs in science and engineering fields who seek to make a successful transition from postdoctoral training to a faculty appointment during the three-year duration of the project. It will also broadly impact academic administrators involved with postdoctoral training and the advancement of women in science and engineering faculty posts. More broadly, the activities will impact future generations of those considering a faculty career in science and engineering, by facilitating the creation and maintenance of training and transition mechanisms that help women to advance from postdoctoral appointments into faculty positions.
