Females of Vision, et al. (FoVea): Increasing 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。在过去的八年中，FoVea发起了几项倡议，以扩大女性在视觉科学领域的参与，包括(1)面向青年科学家的旅行和网络奖励计划；(2)视觉科学学会年会专业发展研讨会；(3)女性视觉科学家演讲名单；(4)制定“剧本”，确保FoVea活动和世代知识的长盛不衰；(5)与Visibility和SPARK Society联合开展活动，促进广泛的历史上被排斥的学者的专业发展。该合同包括一个外部评估部分，以评估FoVea活动的实施情况和利益相关者的看法。这些努力补充了NSF增加妇女、残疾人和代表性不足群体参与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 whose mission is to enhance the success, visibility, and impact of women in vision science. Over the past eight years, FoVea has launched several initiatives to broaden participation of women in Vision Science, including (1) a Travel and Networking award program for junior scientists; (2) professional development workshops at the Vision Sciences Society annual meeting; (3) a speaker list highlighting female vision scientists; (4) a “playbook” to ensure the longevity of FoVea activities and generational knowledge; and (5) joint activities with Visibility and the SPARK Society to promote the professional development of a wide range of historically excluded scholars. The award includes an external evaluation component to assess implementation and stakeholder perceptions of FoVea activities. These efforts complement NSF’s goal of increasing participation of women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented groups 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.
