ADVANCE Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination (PAID) Award: Collaborative Research - Atmospheric Science Collaborations and Enriching NeTworks (ASCENT)

该项目将创建一个针对特定学科、精心设计的项目，重点关注大气科学/气象学领域的女性，以培养促进进步的领导者。在为期三天的大气科学合作和丰富网络（ASCENT）夏季研讨会计划和后续的聚会活动中，重点将是在不同级别的女性教师和博士后研究人员之间建立积极的专业关系。这些人将在团队中工作（每个资深科学家将与两个初级科学家配对），并促进联系。此外，在与志同道合的女科学家交流的同时，参与者将有机会探索消除“泄漏管道”的具体有前途的做法，“泄漏管道”是指女性在学术生涯的不同阶段的流失。通过促进女性教师和研究人员之间的关系，ASCENT将展示对发展研究基地的承诺，并提高在多所大学和学院进行的协作大气研究的质量。ASCENT旨在实现以下具体目标：1)确保年轻女性科学家了解并有机会获得可以帮助指导她们的职业和生活道路的资源和人。2)鼓励积极的师徒关系，创造师徒机会。3)向他人学习和教授妇女在大气科学和气象领域面临的主要障碍，并开发或共享通信工具以帮助克服这些障碍。4)与其他机构的潜在科学合作者会面。为了确保所提议的研讨会和合作经验的成功和持久，将实施一个广泛的评估计划。这一进程将在车间发展的初始阶段开始；在整个研讨会期间和过去终止期间继续进行，以确定长期结果。评估结果将在专业论坛上发布，如会议或评审期刊。在这些讲习班期间，组织者将收集技术和方法方面的知识，以加强妇女在大气科学和气象学领域的参与。这些信息将通过Eos和《美国气象学会公报》（BAMS）传播给学术界。ASCENT还将制作一份两年一次的电子通讯，提供关于提高妇女科学地位的“经验教训”和当前文献的摘要。本通讯将发送给讲习班的所有参与者、地球科学妇女网络（ESWN）名单服务和其他感兴趣的各方。

This project will create a discipline-specific, well-designed program focusing on womenin atmospheric science/meteorology to create leaders for advancement.The emphasis during the proposed three-day Atmospheric Science Collaborations andEnriching Networks (ASCENT) summer workshop program and follow-up reunionevents will be to initiate positive professional relationships, among female faculty ofdifferent ranks and postdoctoral researchers. These individuals will work in teams (eachsenior scientist will be paired with two junior scientists) and foster connections.Furthermore, while networking with like-minded women scientists, participants will havethe opportunity to explore specific promising practices toward eliminating the "leakypipeline," defined by the attrition of women at different stages in their academic careers.By fostering relationships among women faculty and researchers, ASCENT willdemonstrate a commitment to developing research bases and improve the quality ofcollaborative atmospheric research conducted at multiple universities and colleges.ASCENT has been designed to achieve the following specific goals:1) Ensure that junior women scientists know about and have access to resources andpeople who can help guide them through their career and life path.2) Encourage positive mentorship and create mentoring opportunities.3) Learn and teach others about primary obstacles for women in atmospheric sciencesand meteorological fields, and develop or share communication tools to assist innavigating these obstacles.4) Meet potential scientific collaborators at other institutions.In order to ensure success and longevity of the proposed workshop and collaborativeexperience, an extensive evaluation program will be implemented. The process willbegin at the initial stage of workshop development; continue throughout duration of theworkshop and past termination to determine long-term outcomes. Evaluation findingswill be disseminated in professional forums, such as conferences or refereed journals.Throughout these workshops, the organizers will assemble knowledge on techniquesand methodology to strength the participation of women within the fields of atmosphericscience and meteorology. This information will be disseminated to this academiccommunity via Eos and Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS).ASCENT will also produce a bi-annual electronic newsletter to provide summaries of"lessons learned" and current literature regarding the advancement of women ingeoscience. This newsletter will be sent to all participants in the workshops, the EarthScience Women's Network (ESWN) list serve, and other interested parties.
