International Travel to the Gender Summits for US Women Faculty and Researchers in STEM

美国科学促进会（American Association for The Advancement of Science）的这个项目建立在STEM项目中国际研究合作女性指导（MWIRC）的成功成果之上。在传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和其他少数族裔服务机构（msi）中，科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的女性教师得到支持，以创建和维持国际层面的新研究网络，从而使她们能够学习如何发展和建立关键的研究合作。12名女教师将前往即将举行的三次性别峰会之一，分别于2015年在韩国和德国以及2016年在墨西哥举行。参加峰会和后续活动将使教师能够扩大他们在STEM学科中的网络、观点和合作，这将丰富他们及其机构的研究能力。参与者将能够受益于一个已经存在的关注性别问题的社区。该项目将创造来自各种实体和合作伙伴的强大协同作用和参与，将帮助STEM教师更好地了解国际研究重点，发展国际研究合作的资源，以及美国STEM研究人员出国旅行和开展研究的指南。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室的全球风险基金共同资助。

The project at the American Association for the Advancement of Science builds on the successful outcomes of the Mentoring Women in International Research Collaborations (MWIRC) in STEM initiative. Women faculty in science, technology, enginnering and mathematics (STEM) fields at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) are supported to create and sustain new research networks at the international level, thus enabling them to learn about developing and establishing critical research collaborations. Twelve women faculty will travel to one of the three upcoming Gender Summits, to be held in South Korea and Germany in 2015 and in Mexico in 2016. Attendance at the summits and follow-up activities will allow faculty to expand their networks, perspectives, and collaborations in the STEM disciplines which will enrich their research capacity and that of their institutions. The participants will be able to benefit from an already existing gender-concerned community. This project will create a strong synergy and engagement from a variety of entities and partners, will help STEM faculty better understand international research priorities, resources for developing international research collaborations, and guidelines for U.S. STEM researchers traveling and conducting research abroad. The project has co-funding support from the Global Venture Fund in the Office of International Science and Engineering.
