Females of Vision, et al (FoVea): Enhancing the Success, Visibility, and Impact of Women in Vision Science

women of Vision et al （FoVea）是一个旨在提高女性在视觉科学领域的成功、知名度和影响力的组织。其目的是通过每年在视觉科学学会（VSS）会议上提供专业发展研讨会，为处于职业生涯早期和中期的女性提供成功的工具。该奖项为参加研讨会和会议的年轻女性视觉科学家提供旅行和网络支持。它还维护和管理FoVeaList，这是一个在线搜索女性视觉科学家的演讲者数据库。该奖项潜在的更广泛影响是深远而深刻的。如果未来几代女性与成功的女性榜样有互动，她们将更有可能考虑视觉科学的职业道路，视觉科学领域将受益于由此带来的思想和方法多样性的增加。我们的目标是改变文化。因此，广告将明确表明，FoVea的活动不仅限于女性；欢迎所有VSS参与者。这些努力补充了NSF增加妇女、残疾人和代表性不足的少数民族参与STEM的目标。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Females of Vision et al (FoVea) is a group established to enhance the success, visibility, and impact of women in vision science. The aim is to give women at early and mid-career levels tools for success by offering workshops on professional development annually at the Vision Sciences Society (VSS) meeting. The award provides travel and networking support for young women vision scientists to attend the workshop and the meeting. It also maintains and curates FoVeaList, an online searchable speaker database of women vision scientists. The potential broader impact of the award is both far-reaching and deep. Future generations of women will be more likely to consider a career path in vision science if they have interactions with successful women role models and the field of vision science will benefit from the resulting increase in diversity of ideas and approaches. The goal is to change the culture. Therefore, advertisements will clearly indicate that FoVea activities are not limited to women; all VSS attendees are welcome. These efforts complement NSF’s goal of increasing participation of women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities in STEM.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.
