This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).While the number of women receiving advanced degrees in the geosciences has been rising, the face of scientific leaders in academia remains dominantly male. Through the establishment of infrastructure to support the Earth Science Women's Network (ESWN), this ADVANCE PAID project will promote career development, build community, and facilitate professional collaborations for women in the Earth Sciences. ESWN is a peer-mentoring network of women, mostly early in their careers, serving the variety of fields within the geosciences discipline. ESWN started in 2002 as an initial group of six early-career women in atmospheric science, and has grown to more than 750 members spanning a wide range of geosciences sub-disciplines. ESWN's growth has evolved solely from person-to-person contacts, and its sustained, rapid growth testifies to the group's value to early career women. The unique aspects of this disciplinary network include its focus on women at early career stages, and the fact that it was formed and is led by early career women scientists. These features allow the group to assist women in the Earth Sciences in advancing professionally while connecting them with a community of their peers. The network's "grassroots" structure provides an exceptional opportunity to influence the retention and promotion of female earth scientists. Intellectual Merit: Building on the success of ESWN's activities to date, this project will support the development of a sustainable ESWN infrastructure and career-development activities to benefit women in academia and promote their advancement. The requested funding will support the following initiatives over four years: grow ESWN to serve a wider section of the geosciences community; design and administer career development workshops; promote professional networking at major scientific conferences; and develop web resources to build connections and collaborations for and among women in the Earth Sciences. The size and diversity of ESWN provides a valuable opportunity to collect statistics and information on the developing careers of women geoscientists. The membership will participate in online surveys, interviews and web site monitoring. Insights and recommendations emerging from these studies will be disseminated through publications, an online newsletter, and highlights on the ESWN website. Broader Impacts: The project activities emphasize the advancement and promotion of women in academic positions in the Earth Sciences. These activities will identify and develop resources useful to women in academia, increase accessibility to these resources, initiate mentoring opportunities, and create a community. An increase in the number of successful women scientists and their visibility will greatly influence the recruitment of the next generation. ESWN members already identify the network as a valuable part of their professional lives and often encourage peers and advisees to join. This project aims to increase the ethnic and racial diversity of ESWN via connections with existing successful recruitment programs. By identifying strategies to reduce barriers to professional success for women geoscientists, we aim to promote a culture that will enhance the success of all scientists. The nature and extent of the network, and its continued growth, will also influence the success of female scientists in a variety of scientific positions including within academia, the federal government, and public and private sectors.

该奖项由2009年《美国复苏和再投资法》（公法111-5）资助，虽然获得地球科学高级学位的妇女人数不断增加，但学术界的科学领导人仍然以男性为主。通过建立支持地球科学女性网络（ESWN）的基础设施，该ADVANCE PAID项目将促进职业发展，建立社区，并促进地球科学领域女性的专业合作。ESWN是一个由女性组成的同行指导网络，主要是在职业生涯的早期，服务于地球科学学科的各个领域。ESWN成立于2002年，最初是由六名早期职业女性组成的大气科学小组，现已发展到750多名成员，涉及广泛的地球科学子学科。ESWN的成长完全是从人与人的接触中发展起来的，它的持续、快速增长证明了该组织对早期职业女性的价值。这一学科网络的独特之处包括其对职业早期阶段妇女的关注，以及它是由早期职业女性科学家组成和领导的事实。这些功能使该小组能够帮助地球科学领域的妇女在专业上取得进步，同时将她们与同龄人社区联系起来。该网络的“基层”结构为影响女性地球科学家的留用和晋升提供了一个难得的机会。智力优势：在ESWN迄今为止成功开展的活动的基础上，该项目将支持发展可持续的ESWN基础设施和职业发展活动，以使学术界的妇女受益并促进她们的进步。申请的资金将在四年内支持以下举措：发展ESWN，为地球科学界更广泛的部门服务;设计和管理职业发展讲习班;在重大科学会议上促进专业网络;开发网络资源，为地球科学领域的妇女建立联系和合作。ESWN的规模和多样性提供了一个宝贵的机会，收集统计数据和信息的发展中的女地球科学家的职业生涯。成员将参加在线调查、访谈和网站监测。将通过出版物、在线通讯和ESWN网站上的重点介绍传播这些研究得出的见解和建议。更广泛的影响：项目活动强调提高和促进妇女在地球科学学术职位上的地位。这些活动将确定和开发对学术界妇女有用的资源，增加获得这些资源的机会，提供辅导机会，并建立一个社区。成功女科学家人数的增加及其知名度的提高将极大地影响下一代的招聘。ESWN成员已经将该网络视为其职业生活的重要组成部分，并经常鼓励同行和被邀请者加入。该项目旨在通过与现有成功的招聘计划的联系，增加ESWN的民族和种族多样性。通过确定减少女性地球科学家职业成功障碍的战略，我们的目标是促进一种文化，这将提高所有科学家的成功。该网络的性质和范围及其持续增长也将影响女科学家在学术界、联邦政府以及公共和私营部门等各种科学职位上的成功。
