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

国家博士后协会将调整、实施和传播先进赠款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：1）将针对现有女教员的努力转化为女教员培训，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解决博士后培训期间妇女的独特需求。这些转化工作的主要目的是帮助妇女从博士后培训阶段顺利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“促进发展”方案的受援者为解决这些问题所作的所有机构努力;-召集“促进发展”方案博士后研究员重点小组，以确定研究金是否有助于她们获得教职人员职位;- 组织一次关于性别和博士后问题的全国首脑会议;-向首脑会议与会者和希望在其机构执行博士后方案的其他人提供持续的技术援助;-编写和分发一份关于帮助妇女从博士后成功过渡到教师的模式和建议做法的简编报告;-对项目进行评估？短期效果：学术成就说明：项目活动将提高科学和工程界对有助于妇女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。这项研究将建立一个新的信息基础，了解有效的战略和有希望的做法，促进成功的过渡，使妇女能够从博士后晋升到教职人员，并最终获得终身职位或同等地位。项目活动将广泛影响在科学和工程领域获得博士学位的妇女，她们寻求从博士后培训成功过渡到教师任命在项目的三年期间。它还将广泛影响从事博士后培训和提高妇女在科学和工程系教职中地位的学术管理人员。更广泛地说，这些活动将通过促进建立和维持培训和过渡机制，帮助妇女从博士后职位晋升到教师职位，对考虑从事科学和工程系教师职业的未来几代人产生影响。

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.
