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.

视觉女性等（FoVea）是一个团体，其使命是提高女性在视觉科学中的成功，知名度和影响力。在过去的八年中，FoVea推出了几项举措，以扩大妇女在视觉科学中的参与，包括（1）为初级科学家设立的旅行和网络奖励计划;（2）在视觉科学学会年会上举办专业发展讲习班;（3）突出女性视觉科学家的发言名单;（4）确保FoVea活动和世代知识的持久性的“剧本”;以及（5）与知名度和SPARK协会联合开展活动，以促进历史上被排斥的学者的专业发展。 该奖项包括一个外部评价部分，以评估FoVea活动的执行情况和利益攸关方的看法。这些努力补充了NSF的目标，即增加妇女，残疾人和代表性不足的群体在STEM中的参与。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。
