Professional awards are external markers of achievement and recognition, and are important for job satisfaction and career advancement for recipients. After receiving recognition, awardees provide inspiration for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals and for those aspiring to an academic career. However, marked gender disparities in awards and recognition have resulted in a climate that hinders advancement of women and impairs their retention as STEM leaders. The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) and the Recognition of the Achievements of Women in Science, Medicine and Engineering (RAISE) Project will implement a project called AWARDS (Advancing Ways of Awarding Recognition in Disciplinary Societies) to address the underrepresentation of women among recipients of awards from STEM disciplinary societies. AWARDS will partner with seven Disciplinary Societies to develop processes customized for each organization to foster the diversity of their scientific award recipients (Goal 1). Towards this goal, over the next three years, AWARDS will work collaboratively with the American Chemical Society (ACS), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the American Mathematical Society (AMS), the American Statistical Association (ASA), the Mathematics Association of America (MAA), the Society for Neuroscience (SfN), and the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM); to: 1) Analyze their existing awards, awardees, nominations, and award processes; 2) Identify components of their cultures, awards nomination and selection processes that influence who is nominated and selected for awards; 3) Provide information on research based best practices to increase gender equity in awards, tailored to their Society's characteristics; 4) Assist each partner Society in selecting and implementing changes to their Society and award processes, and evaluating the consequences of those changes; and 5) Develop maintenance practices for long term and sustainable support of award equity. The partner Societies have a combined membership of 329,000 and sponsor nearly 400 awards. Lessons learned from this work will be used to formulate a framework for use with additional and varied disciplinary societies (Goal 2). AWARDS will build on resources from the STEM community, ADVANCE programs, and social science research to reduce the impact of implicit bias and foster organizational change. Activities will be directed by a five member Executive Committee, assisted by an Advisory Committee, and conducted by an action Task Force, all focused on facilitating changes in partner Societies. The partner Disciplinary Societies will maintain control and ownership of activities leading to change within their Society. An outside evaluator will ensure activities are effective and goals are met. Intellectual Merit: The existing research on implicit bias and organizational change will be adapted to the awards processes of seven diverse STEM Disciplinary Societies. AWARDS will support Society partners as they increase impartiality, resulting in greater diversity of their award nominees and winners, and develop leadership within the organization to sustain these changes. Organizational change experts and Society representatives will assure that processes are evidence based and appropriate for each Society. Development of a framework and resources that can be successfully implemented in additional professional societies with distinctive cultures and awards structures will expand the impact far beyond the initial Disciplinary Society partners. Broader Impacts: AWARDS will increase the diversity of STEM awardees and expand the number of role models who will encourage future generations of women and other underrepresented groups to pursue and persist in STEM careers. Engaging Disciplinary Society leaders in AWARDS will change their perceptions and direct attention to other areas in which equity might be enhanced, e.g., allocation of resources. AWARDS activities will put members of committees in leadership roles, and enhance their ability to catalyze organizational changes within and beyond their professional societies.

专业奖项是成就和认可的外部标志，对获奖者的工作满意度和职业晋升非常重要。在获得认可后，获奖者为科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)专业人员以及那些有志于学术生涯的人提供灵感。然而，在奖励和表彰方面存在明显的性别差异，造成了一种阻碍提高妇女地位并损害她们继续担任STEM领导人的氛围。科学妇女协会(AWIS)和承认科学、医学和工程领域妇女成就(RAISE)项目将实施一项名为ARMARDS(推进纪律学会表彰方式)的项目，以解决STEM学科学会获奖妇女比例偏低的问题。奖项将与七个纪律学会合作，为每个组织制定定制的程序，以促进其科学奖获奖者的多样性(目标1)。为实现这一目标，各奖项将在未来三年内与美国化学学会(ACS)、美国地球物理联合会(AGU)、美国数学学会(AMS)、美国统计协会(ASA)、美国数学协会(MAA)、神经科学学会(SFN)和工业与应用数学学会(SIAM)合作：1)分析现有的奖项、获奖者、提名和颁奖程序；2)确定影响谁被提名和选择获奖的文化、奖项提名和遴选过程的组成部分；3)提供以研究为基础的最佳做法的信息，以增加奖项中的性别公平，以适应其学会的特点；4)协助每个伙伴学会选择和实施对其学会和奖励程序的改变，并评估这些改变的后果；以及5)为长期和可持续地支持奖励公平制定维护做法。伙伴协会共有329,000名成员，赞助了近400个奖项。从这项工作中吸取的经验教训将用于制定一个框架，供更多和不同的学科学会使用(目标2)。奖项将建立在STEM社区、高级项目和社会科学研究的资源基础上，以减少隐性偏见的影响并促进组织变革。活动将由一个五人执行委员会指导，由一个咨询委员会协助，并由一个行动工作队进行，所有这些活动的重点都是促进伙伴社团的变革。合作伙伴纪律协会将保持对导致其协会内部变化的活动的控制和所有权。外部评估员将确保活动有效并实现目标。智力价值：现有的关于隐性偏见和组织变革的研究将适用于七个不同的STEM纪律学会的颁奖过程。奖项将支持协会合作伙伴提高公正性，使他们的奖项被提名者和获奖者更加多样化，并在组织内发展领导力，以维持这些变化。组织变革专家和协会代表将确保流程是以证据为基础的，并且适用于每个协会。制定可在其他具有独特文化和奖项结构的专业协会中成功实施的框架和资源，将远远扩大其影响，远远超出最初的纪律学会伙伴。更广泛的影响：奖项将增加STEM获奖者的多样性，并增加榜样的数量，这些榜样将鼓励未来一代妇女和其他代表性不足的群体追求并坚持STEM职业生涯。让纪律学会领导人参与颁奖将改变他们的看法，并将注意力转向其他可能加强公平的领域，例如资源分配。颁奖活动将使委员会成员发挥领导作用，并增强他们在其专业协会内外推动组织变革的能力。
