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

该项目将创建一个专门针对大气科学/气象学女性的精心设计的项目，以培养先进的领导者。在拟议的为期三天的大气科学合作和丰富网络(ASCENT)夏季研讨会项目和后续团聚活动中，重点将是在不同级别的女性教员和博士后研究人员之间建立积极的职业关系。这些人将以小组形式工作(每个资深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，参与者将有机会探索消除“漏水管道”的具体有前途的做法，“漏水管道”是指女性在其学术生涯的不同阶段的自然减员。通过促进女性教职员工和研究人员之间的关系，ASCESS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合作大气研究的质量。Ascend旨在实现以下具体目标：1)确保初级女科学家了解并能够获得有助于指导她们职业生涯和人生道路的资源和人员。2)鼓励积极的指导并创造指导机会。3)了解和教授他人有关女性在大气科学和气象领域的主要障碍，并开发或分享帮助克服这些障碍的通信工具。4)在其他机构会见潜在的科学合作者。为了确保拟议的研讨会和协作经验的成功和持久，将实施一项广泛的评估计划。这一进程将从讲习班发展的初始阶段开始；在整个讲习班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，如会议或被推荐的期刊。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。这一信息将通过EOS和美国气象学会公报(BAMS)向这一学术界传播。提高妇女地位“还将出版一年两次的电子通讯，提供”经验教训“的摘要和有关提高妇女在地球科学中地位的最新文献。本通讯将发送给讲习班、地球科学妇女网络(ESWN)名单服务的所有参与者和其他感兴趣的各方。

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.
