This award to the University of Oregon by the NSF Chemistry Division's Special Projects Office supports activities by the Committee on the Advancement of Women Chemists (COACh) to increase the number and success of women in academia in chemistry and allied fields. This award is co-funded by NSF's Divisions of Chemistry; Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems; Materials Research; Mathematical Sciences; Physics; and Earth Sciences; and NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences. Under the direction of Prof. Geri Richmond, COACh (1) develops and offers professional skills workshops that assist women scientists and engineers in achieving their full career potential at the graduate, postdoctoral, and faculty and administrative levels; (2) targets minority women scientists and engineers through professional meetings with high minority attendance; (3) assesses the short and long term impacts of these workshops, and disseminates results of the assessment to the scientific community; (4) assists with transformational change in departments and institutions to insure the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups in science and engineering; (5) works with science and engineering departments and their faculty to identify and break patterns that can create different potentials for men, women, and minority students to be innovative; (6) fosters and strengthens mentoring and networking among women academic scientists and engineers; and (7) partners with other organizations on gender equity issues in science. Technical merit stems from new insights into obstacles and opportunities for underrepresented groups. The activities have broad impact through their effects on the careers of participants and their colleagues.

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学分部特别项目办公室颁发给俄勒冈大学，以支持女性化学家进步委员会（COACh）的活动，以增加女性在化学和相关领域的数量和成功。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学分部联合资助；化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统；材料研究;数学科学;物理;地球科学；以及美国国立卫生研究院的国家普通医学科学研究所。在Geri Richmond教授的指导下，COACh(1)开发并提供专业技能讲习班，帮助女性科学家和工程师在研究生、博士后、教师和行政层面充分发挥其职业潜力；(2)通过少数民族出席率高的专业会议，面向少数民族女性科学家和工程师；(3)评估这些讲习班的短期和长期影响，并向科学界传播评估结果；(4)协助部门和机构的转型变革，以确保招聘和保留科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体；(5)与科学和工程部门及其教职员工合作，识别并打破能够为男性、女性和少数族裔学生创造不同潜力的模式；(6)培养和加强女性学术科学家和工程师之间的指导和网络；(7)在科学领域的性别平等问题上与其他组织合作。技术优点源于对代表性不足群体的障碍和机会的新见解。这些活动通过对参与者及其同事的职业生涯的影响而产生广泛的影响。
