Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination (PAID): Department Chair Training to Increase Women in Neuroscience (IWIN)

神经科学学会(SFN)将实施一项预付费项目，重点是通过针对系主任来增加女性在神经科学学科中的机会。该项目的总体和长期目标是增加神经科学教职人员中的女性数量，包括代表不足的少数族裔(URM)女性。这将通过改变妇女在学术神经科学和神经科学相关部门的招聘、晋升和工作环境方面的行为和做法来实现。详细的项目战略将使SFN能够接触到多达300名系主任，并影响50多家机构。具体而言，SFN付费项目将包括：以8个区域互动讲习班的形式进行培训干预；制定机构一级的执行计划；通过点对点互动和在线资源不断向参与者提供支助；以及传播经验教训和最佳做法。智力上的功绩。SFN预付费项目将利用密歇根大学、亚利桑那大学和华盛顿大学提供的研讨会材料。这些机构中的每一个都开发了先进的资源，事实证明，这些资源可以改善女性教员的招聘、晋升和工作环境。在宏观层面上，通过实现变革，目前的项目将使女性能够在神经科学的最高水平上取得成功，在那里她们的贡献可以得到最充分的实现。更广泛的影响。该项目预计将产生比直接项目参与者更广泛的影响，其结果是：1)项目的设计(多层次的培训和支持活动)；2)神经科学领域的跨学科性质，涉及多个STEM学术部门和项目；以及3)SFN作为该专业的主要协会的作用。该项目对讲习班的支持将有助于在机构一级广泛传播信息。通过该项目确定的最佳做法和经验教训将直接适用于神经科学和其他与神经科学有关的部门，SFN非常适合通过其多种传播资源(期刊、成员通讯、年会、网站等)传播这一信息。以及合作伙伴。这种可转移性是神经科学领域独有的，最终将使吸取的经验教训和最佳做法在NSF资助之外可持续。SfN将使用形成性和终结性评估来监测和评估实现项目目标的进展情况。从该项目中吸取的经验教训将在最后一个项目年作为总结活动举行的最佳做法会议上汇编和传播。这项活动将确保在神经科学和相关领域的学术界分享最佳做法，并将其应用于SFN在赠款期限之后继续实施该项目。

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will implement an ADVANCE PAID project that focuses on enhancing opportunities for women in the neuroscience disciplines by targeting department chairs. The overall and long-term goal of this project is to increase the number of women, including underrepresented minority (URM) women, among faculty in neuroscience. This will be accomplished by effecting change in behavior and practice related to recruitment, promotion and work climate for women within academic neuroscience and neuroscience-related departments. The detailed project strategy will allow SfN to reach up to 300 department chairs and to influence over 50 institutions. Specifically, the SfN PAID project will involve: a training intervention in the form of eight regional interactive workshops; development of institution-level implementation plans; ongoing support to participants through peer-to-peer interaction and online resources; and dissemination of lessons learned and best practices. Intellectual Merit. The SfN ADVANCE PAID project will utilize workshop materials from the University of Michigan, University of Arizona, and University of Washington. Each of these institutions developed ADVANCE resources that have been proven to improve recruitment, promotion and work climate for women faculty. At the macro level, by effecting change, the current project will allow women to arrive and thrive in the highest levels of neuroscience where their contributions can be realized to the fullest. Broader Impact. This project is expected to have broader impact beyond the immediate project participants as a result of: 1) the project's design (multi-level training and support activities); 2) the interdisciplinary nature of the field of neuroscience which reaches across multiple STEM academic departments and programs; and 3) the role of SfN as the premier association for the profession. The project's support for workshops will help disseminate information broadly at the institutional level. The best practices and lessons learned identified through the project will be directly applicable to neuroscience and other neuroscience-related departments, and SfN is ideally suited to disseminate this information through its multiple communication resources (journal, member newsletters, annual meeting, Web site, etc.) and partners. This transferability is unique to the field of neuroscience and will ultimately make the lessons learned and best practices sustainable beyond NSF funding.SfN will monitor and evaluate progress toward project objectives using formative and summative evaluations. The lessons learned from this project will be compiled and disseminated at a best practices meeting to be held as a wrap-up activity in the final project year. This activity will ensure that best practices are shared across academia in neuroscience and related fields and are applied to SfN's continuation of the project beyond the grant period.
