A Workshop for Young Female Researchers in Speech Science and Technology

青年女性研究人员的研讨会解决了语音科学和技术的挑战：有相对较少的初级女性研究人员在'管道'的职业生涯在讲话。其目标是通过提供一个场所，使语音科学和技术领域的学生能够相互介绍自己的工作，并向高级女研究人员介绍自己的工作，高级妇女可以向学生介绍自己的研究和职业经历，并指导他们，从而培养对语音领域研究的兴趣。 该讲习班的对象是目前从事语音科学和技术工作的女本科生和女硕士生，她们在学院和大学里有过这些领域的个人或团体项目的研究经验，但尚未承诺获得语音科学或技术领域的博士学位。 2018年的研讨会是第三届年会。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Workshop for Young Female Researchers addresses a challenge in speech science and technology: there are relatively few junior women researchers in the 'pipeline' to careers in speech. The goal is to foster interest in research in the field of speech by providing a venue where students in speech science and technology can present their work to each other and to senior women researchers, and where senior women can describe their own research and career experience to students and mentor them. The workshop targets women undergraduate and masters students who are currently working in speech science and technology, who have had some research experience in their college and universities on individual or group projects in those areas, but who have not yet committed to getting a PhD in speech science or technology areas. This 2018 workshop is the third annual meeting. It features panel discussions with senior female speech science and technology researchers, student poster presentations, and a mentoring session.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
