A workshop to discuss attrition of women in the academic ocean sciences leadership pipeline: Washington, D.C., 2020

海洋领导力联合会(COL)将主办一次研讨会，重点讨论海洋科学领域女性在终身教职和终身教职职位上的代表性问题。考虑到过去20年来获得海洋科学博士学位的女性比例，这些海洋科学教职中的女性人数低于预期。讲习班将邀请学术机构的代表审查和讨论关于海洋科学博士到终身教员各级妇女任职情况的现有数据，审议影响妇女的经验和与学术事业有关的决定的因素，并确定是否需要进一步调查这些因素。研讨会将于2019年底在华盛顿哥伦比亚特区COL总部举行，约22人参加。作为这次讲习班的成果，COL将提供关于海洋科学工作者中妇女代表性的现有数据的分析，讲习班的数据分析和建议的结果将发表在一份主要的海洋学期刊上。本次研讨会将支持NSF确保多样化科学工作队伍的目标。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Consortium on Ocean Leadership (COL) will host a workshop to focus on the issues surrounding the representation of women in tenure-track and tenured faculty positions in the ocean sciences. Given the percentage of women receiving doctorates in ocean sciences for the last two decades, the number of women in these faculty positions in the ocean sciences is lower than expected. The workshop will invite representatives of academic institutions to review and discuss the available data on the representation of women at various levels in the ocean science doctorate-to-tenured-faculty pipeline, to consider the factors that influence women's experiences and decisions related to academic careers, and to determine if further investigation into these factors is needed. The workshop will be held at COL headquarters in Washington, DC with about twenty-two participants in late 2019. As a deliverable for this workshop, COL will provide an analysis of available data on the representation of women in the ocean sciences workforce, and results of the data analysis and recommendations from the workshop will be published in a major oceanographic journal. This workshop will support NSF goals of ensuring a diverse scientific workforce.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.
