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)将调整、实施和传播先期补助金获得者和其他人采用的成功模式和最佳做法，以帮助女科学家在学术界取得进步。该项目将侧重于两个领域的适应工作：1)将针对当前女性教员的努力转化为女性培训，以成为教师，即博士后；2)将针对一般博士后群体的专业发展努力转化为针对博士后培训期间女性的独特需求。这些翻译工作的主要目的将是帮助妇女成功地从博士后培训期过渡到终身教职。项目的主要组成部分包括：-通过一项调查和有针对性的后续行动，对先期获奖者为解决这些问题所作的所有机构努力进行审查；-召集一个由先期博士后研究员组成的重点小组，以确定该奖学金是否有助于她们获得教职；-组织一次关于性别和博士后学位的全国首脑会议；--为峰会与会者和其他希望在其机构实施博士后方案的人提供持续的技术援助；-准备和传播一份关于帮助女性成功地从博士后过渡到教师的模式和建议做法的概要报告；-对该项目的评估？S在以下方面的短期有效性：提高认识，作为行动的催化剂，并帮助峰会与会者增加从博士后队伍中聘用的女教师的数量。智力价值声明：该项目活动将增进科学界和工程界对有助于女性从博士后学者成功过渡到终身教职的因素的认识和理解。这项研究将为促进成功过渡的有效战略和有前景的实践创造一个新的信息基础，使女性能够从博士后晋升到教师职位，并最终获得终身教职或同等地位。博主影响声明：项目活动将广泛影响那些寻求在项目三年期间从博士后培训成功过渡到教师职位的拥有科学和工程领域博士学位的女性。它还将广泛影响参与博士后培训和提高女性在科学和工程教师职位上的地位的学术管理人员。更广泛地说，这些活动将通过促进创建和维护培训和过渡机制，帮助女性从博士后职位晋升到教职，从而影响那些考虑在科学和工程领域从事教职的未来几代人。

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.
