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的精心设计的计划，重点关注大气科学/气象学领域的女性，以培养领导者，促进发展。在拟议的为期三天的大气科学合作和浓缩网络（ASCENT）夏季研讨会计划和后续团聚活动期间，重点将是在不同级别的女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（每个高级科学家将与两名初级科学家配对）并培养联系。此外，在与志同道合的女科学家建立联系的同时，与会者将有机会探索消除“泄漏管道”的具体可行做法，即妇女在学术生涯的不同阶段的自然减员。通过促进女教师和研究人员之间的关系，ASCENT将展示发展研究基地的承诺，并提高在多所大学和学院进行的合作大气研究的质量。ASCENT旨在实现以下具体目标：1）确保年轻女科学家了解并有机会获得可以帮助指导她们完成职业和生活道路的资源和人员。2）鼓励积极的指导并创造指导机会。3）了解并向他人传授妇女在大气科学和气象领域面临的主要障碍，并开发或分享沟通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。这一过程将开始于研讨会的初始阶段;在研讨会期间和结束后继续进行，以确定长期成果。评价结果将在专业论坛上传播，如会议或期刊。在这些讲习班期间，组织者将汇集有关技术和方法的知识，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。该中心还将编写一份半年期电子通讯，提供关于提高妇女在地球科学领域地位的“经验教训”和最新文献摘要。这份通讯将发送给讲习班的所有参加者、地球科学妇女网络（ESWN）名单服务器和其他有关各方。

This project will create a discipline-specific, well-designed program focusing on women in atmospheric science/meteorology to create leaders for advancement.The emphasis during the proposed three-day Atmospheric Science Collaborations and Enriching Networks (ASCENT) summer workshop program and follow-up reunion events will be to initiate positive professional relationships, among female faculty of different ranks and postdoctoral researchers. These individuals will work in teams (each senior scientist will be paired with two junior scientists) and foster connections. Furthermore, while networking with like-minded women scientists, participants will have the opportunity to explore specific promising practices toward eliminating the "leaky pipeline," defined by the attrition of women at different stages in their academic careers. By fostering relationships among women faculty and researchers, ASCENT will demonstrate a commitment to developing research bases and improve the quality of collaborative 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 and people 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 sciences and meteorological fields, and develop or share communication tools to assist in navigating these obstacles.4) Meet potential scientific collaborators at other institutions.In order to ensure success and longevity of the proposed workshop and collaborative experience, an extensive evaluation program will be implemented. The process will begin at the initial stage of workshop development; continue throughout duration of the workshop and past termination to determine long-term outcomes. Evaluation findings will be disseminated in professional forums, such as conferences or refereed journals. Throughout these workshops, the organizers will assemble knowledge on techniques and methodology to strength the participation of women within the fields of atmospheric science and meteorology. This information will be disseminated to this academic community 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 in geoscience. This newsletter will be sent to all participants in the workshops, the Earth Science Women's Network (ESWN) list serve, and other interested parties.
