ADVANCE Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation and Dissemination (PAID): Broadening Participation - The 2009 ADVANCE PI Meeting

科学界妇女协会寻求资金，以组织和主办2009年ADVANCE主要研究者会议。我们的目标是从2009年9月30日至10月2日为ADVANCE IT，ADVANCE PAID和ADVANCE IT-Catalyst赠款的PI组织一次为期2.5天的会议，并包括专业学科相关协会的领导层以及STEM学科的其他多元化利益相关者的更广泛受众。 智力优势：一旦获得资金，将任命一个方案委员会。我们已经建立了计划委员会，包括当前ADVANCE奖项的PI，NSF ADVANCE计划官员，专业协会代表，AWIS董事会成员和一名普通成员，并已收到大多数确定为会员的个人的确认。 计划委员会将负责在下面定义的大纲内制定会议#894;确定研讨会主题和组织者以及主题演讲人#894;制定邀请名单和传播计划，以确保专业团体的广泛参与#894;并与资助PI合作解决影响计划质量的问题（例如预算）。 除了会议管理的分包合同外，我们还寻求资金来支持AWIS工作人员参与该项目#894;管理团队成员前往华盛顿参加一次会前会议#894;以及办公费用。我们预计，我们对新选区的拓展可能需要有针对性的旅行支助。许多最大和最有影响力的专业社团都位于华盛顿特区#894;然而，社会官员是位于全国各地的STEM学者。因此，我们已编列旅费赠款预算，以支持多达40名个人的参与，他们将是少数族裔服务机构的代表或社会干事。更广泛的影响这个项目是新颖的，因为它的目的是进行先进的计划资助的创新和从研究中收集到的洞察力到一个扩大的领域，新的观众，影响国家对话如何应对即将到来的挑战，为美国工业，高等教育，政府和其他工作部门提供技术劳动力。 AWIS将利用其已经建立的与学科相关专业协会的联络网络，扩大传播和采用改善妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的招聘和保留的战略。专业协会是这一倡议的第一个受众，这是合乎逻辑的，因为它们在提高妇女在科学、技术、工程和数学领域的地位方面发挥着核心作用，而且AWIS最近在围绕多样性问题召集学科协会方面发挥了主导作用。

The Association for Women in Science seeks funding to organize and host the 2009 meeting of the ADVANCE Principal Investigators (PI). Our goal is to organize a 2.5day meeting from September 30 to October 2, 2009 for PIs of ADVANCE IT, ADVANCE PAID, and ADVANCE IT-Catalyst grants and include a broader audience of the leadership of professional discipline related societies as well other diversity stakeholders in the STEM disciplines. INTELLECTUAL MERIT: A Program Committee will be appointed as soon as funding is secured. We have structured the Program Committee to include PIs of current ADVANCE awards, an NSF ADVANCE program officer, representatives of professional societies, members of the AWIS Board, and one at large member and have received confirmations from most of the individuals identified for membership. The Program Committee will be charged with developing a meeting within the broad outlines defined below; identify symposium topics and organizers as well as keynote speakers; develop an invitation list and dissemination plan to ensure broad participation from professional societies; and work with the grant PI on issues which affect the quality of the program (e.g. budget). In addition to a subcontract for the conference management, we seek funds to support AWIS staff involvement in the project; travel for members of the management team to DC for one preconference meeting; and office expenses. We anticipate that our outreachto new constituencies may require targeted travel support. Many of the largest and most influential professional societies are based in the Washington DC area; however, the society officers are STEM academics located throughout the nation. We have therefore budgeted for travel grants to support involvement of up to 40 individuals who will be either representatives of minority serving institutions or society officers. BROADER IMPACTSThis project is novel in that it is designed to carry the innovations funded by the ADVANCE program and the insight gleaned from research into an expanded realm, to new audiences that influence the national conversation on how to meet the coming challenge of providing a technical workforce for US industry, higher education, government, and other work sectors. AWIS will leverage its already established liaison network with the discipline-related professional societies to extend the dissemination and adoption of strategies to improve recruitment and retention of women and underrepresented minorities. Professional societies are the logical first audience for this initiative, both because they play a central role in the advancement of women in STEM and because AWIS has recently assumed a lead role in convening disciplinary societies around diversity issues.
