The proposed ADVANCE PAID project, Indigenous Women in Science Network (IWSN), addresses the underrepresentation of American Indian women in the academic STEM discipline. Through the convening of small talking circles that originated as an outgrowth of a previous ADVANCE IT award, the Network has now expanded to an independent annual meeting. Specifically, this meeting provides opportunities for American Indian women to seek mentors and create new professional relationships and offers an opportunity for this cadre of women scientists to provide much needed psychosocial support. The network is characterized by discussions that focus on enhancing communication, identifying funding strategies, strategic planning and informing the body of literature that focuses on the intersection of gender and race.Intellectual Merit. The current project provides specific and targeted opportunities for intellectual and scientific progress, including opportunities for interdisciplinary scientific collaborations. Additionally, this project contributes to the overall understanding of the unique circumstances that are experienced by American Indian women who pursue careers as scientists and an understanding of the cultural perspectives that either contribute to or serve as barriers to career progression for American Indian women.Broader Impact. This organization is able to leverage its commitment and established trust with a community of American Indian women to meaningfully address their underrepresentation in the academic STEM disciplines. Additionally, this project has the potential to inform the ADVANCE community of efforts that can be made on individual campuses to increase the recruitment and retention of American Indian women. To that end, the proposed project will significantly impact a cadre of women faculty who have been relatively underserved by the ADVANCE Program.

拟议的ADVANCE PAID项目，土著妇女参与科学网络（IWSN），解决了美洲印第安妇女在学术STEM学科中代表性不足的问题。通过召集小型谈话圈，起源于以前的先进信息技术奖的产物，该网络现在已扩大到一个独立的年度会议。 具体而言，这次会议为美洲印第安妇女提供了寻求导师和建立新的专业关系的机会，并为这批女科学家提供了提供急需的心理社会支持的机会。 该网络的特点是讨论的重点是加强沟通，确定供资战略，战略规划和通报重点放在性别和种族的交叉点的文献。 目前的项目为智力和科学进步提供了具体和有针对性的机会，包括跨学科科学合作的机会。 此外，该项目有助于全面了解追求科学家职业生涯的美国印第安妇女所经历的独特情况，并了解有助于或阻碍美国印第安妇女职业发展的文化观点。 该组织能够利用其承诺和与美国印第安妇女社区建立的信任，有意义地解决她们在学术STEM学科中代表性不足的问题。 此外，该项目有可能向ADVANCE社区通报各个校园可以采取的努力，以增加美洲印第安女性的招聘和保留。 为此，拟议的项目将对一批女教师产生重大影响，这些女教师相对来说没有得到先进方案的充分服务。
