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

科学中的妇女协会寻求资金，以组织和主办2009年高级首席调查员会议。我们的目标是从2009年9月30日至10月2日为先行IT、先行支付和先行IT-催化剂拨款的PI组织一次为期2.5天的会议，并包括更广泛的受众，包括与专业学科相关的学会的领导层以及STEM学科中的其他多样性利益相关者。智力优势：一旦获得资金，将立即任命一个计划委员会。我们已经构建了计划委员会，包括当前预付款的PI、一名NSF高级计划官员、专业协会的代表、AWIS董事会成员和一名普通成员，并已收到大多数被确定为成员的个人的确认。计划委员会将负责在以下定义的大致范围内召开会议，确定研讨会主题和组织者以及主旨演讲者，制定邀请名单和传播计划，以确保专业协会的广泛参与，并就影响计划质量的问题(如预算)与赠款PI合作。除了会议管理分包合同外，我们还寻求资金以支持AWIS工作人员参与该项目，管理小组成员前往哥伦比亚特区参加一次会议前会议的旅费和办公室费用。我们预计，我们的外展到新的选区可能需要有针对性的旅行支持。许多最大和最有影响力的专业学会的总部设在华盛顿特区地区，然而，学会官员是分布在全国各地的STEM学者。因此，我们为旅费赠款编列了预算，以支持多达40人的参与，这些人要么是少数族裔在职机构的代表，要么是社会官员。更广泛的IMPACTS他的项目是新颖的，因为它旨在将由高级计划资助的创新和从研究中收集的见解带入更广泛的领域，面向新的受众，这些受众影响着关于如何应对即将到来的挑战的全国对话，即为美国工业、高等教育、政府和其他工作部门提供技术劳动力。该协会将利用其已建立的与纪律相关专业学会的联络网络，扩大传播和通过战略，以改进妇女和任职人数偏低的少数群体的招聘和留住。专业协会自然是这一倡议的第一受众，这既是因为它们在提高STEM妇女地位方面发挥了核心作用，也是因为AWIS最近在召集围绕多样性问题的纪律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.
