This project from Teachers College, Columbia University brings together a group of women academicians representing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and related fields (e.g. psychology, cognitive development, physiology) for three days of strategically focused networking, panel discussions, and paired mentoring. Intellectually, the project supports a workshop aimed at increasing awareness and providing access to networking and grantsmanship opportunities to support education research. It seeks to address why more women, especially African American women, doctoral students, faculty, and administrators do not apply for grants and also obtain grant award from funding sources external to colleges and universities. The project explores ways to mitigate barriers that might interfere with future networking and funding opportunities. Major topics for the workshop include increasing scholarship, knowledge about mentorship, funding sources, support at the institutional level to submit a proposal, collaborators at the university level, funds to travel to meet with peers and funding agencies in preparation for writing proposals, peer network at universities to offer support and training in proposal development, and the lack of publications to increase research competitiveness.From the broader impact perspective, the project focuses on ways to help women improve their research by becoming more knowledgeable about grant funds to support their work. In addition, the standard to award promotion and tenure to faculty in higher education encompasses research, teaching, and service. Core to obtaining a tenured faculty appointment involves the procurement of external funding. In the past, it has been difficult for females, in particular, African American females to obtain grant funding, which is fundamental to the career development of faculty. Hence, this workshop focuses on the big picture regarding women in academia, their need to obtain funding for their research and scholarship, and their need to connect with other women in the academy. The workshop builds on existing knowledge and practice from relevant and prior efforts in the academy and beyond. It uses the combined strength of women as an effective way to improve research and publishing through networking and grantsmanship. The outcomes include strengthening the network between women academicians for support and learning in STEM and related fields, increasing knowledge about grant funding resources and funding opportunities, and improving mentoring to facilitate growth personally and professionally relative to research in education.

这个来自哥伦比亚大学师范学院的项目汇集了一群代表STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学）和相关领域（例如心理学，认知发展，生理学）的女学者，为期三天的战略重点网络，小组讨论和配对指导。 在智力上，该项目支持举办一个讲习班，旨在提高认识，提供联网机会，并为支持教育研究提供机会。它试图解决为什么更多的妇女，特别是非洲裔美国妇女，博士生，教师和管理人员不申请赠款，也从学院和大学以外的资金来源获得补助金。 该项目探讨如何减少可能干扰未来网络和筹资机会的障碍。研讨会的主要议题包括增加奖学金、关于导师制的知识、资金来源、机构一级对提交提案的支持、大学一级的合作者、为准备撰写提案而与同行和资助机构会面的差旅资金、大学同行网络提供提案制定方面的支持和培训、从更广泛的影响角度来看，该项目侧重于帮助妇女提高研究水平的方法，使她们更了解支持其工作的赠款资金。此外，在高等教育中授予教师晋升和终身教职的标准包括研究、教学和服务。获得终身教职的核心涉及外部资金的采购。在过去，女性，特别是非洲裔美国女性很难获得赠款资金，这是教师职业发展的基础。因此，本次研讨会的重点是学术界女性的总体情况、她们为研究和奖学金获得资金的需求以及她们与学院中其他女性建立联系的需求。该讲习班建立在学院内外相关和先前努力的现有知识和做法的基础上。 它利用妇女的综合力量作为通过网络和赠款改善研究和出版的有效途径。 其成果包括加强女学者之间的网络，以支持STEM和相关领域的学习，增加对赠款资金来源和资助机会的了解，并改善辅导，以促进个人和专业方面的发展。
