MPWG: Symposium on Graduate Study in Science for Undergraduate Women

9353787克莱恩我们建议为理科专业女本科生的年度研讨会制定一个示范项目。这次研讨会将为他们提供与各个科学学科的研究生学习有关的信息，并将使他们与女科学家密切接触。我们希望能够证明，从这一经历中获得的知识和鼓励不仅增加了从事科学研究生学习的女性人数，而且将使她们为研究生学习做好更好的准备，因此更有可能完成研究生学业。1992年4月，成功地为120名本科生妇女举办了这方面的试点方案。这一方案揭示了几个需要发展的领域，这些领域要求在最后确定可出口的模型之前重复专题讨论会。这项提案要求为研讨会继续举办三年提供资金，这将使我们能够完成以下工作：(1)延续研讨会将使我们能够评估该计划在几年内的成功，并通过几年的研究生学习跟踪参与者。(2)我们会制作一套教材，让参加者可以随身携带，让他们可以在自己的校园举行类似的活动。(3)我们将设计并向美国其他地区推广这一模式，使他们能够建立类似的项目。***

9353787 Krane We propose to develop a model program for an annual symposium for undergraduate women majoring in science. This symposium will provide them with information related to graduate study in various disciplines of science, and it will also bring them into close contact with women scientists. We expect to be able to demonstrate that the knowledge and encouragement gained from this experience not only increases the number of women who undertake graduate study in science , but also will make them better prepared for graduate study and therefore more likely to see it through to an advanced degree. A pilot program along these lines was successfully held for 120 undergraduate women in April 1992. This program revealed several needed areas of development which require that the symposium be repeated before an exportable model can be finalized. This proposal requests funding to continue the symposium for three years, which will permit us to accomplish the following: (1) The continuation will allow us to evaluate the success of the program over several years and track the participants through a few years of graduate study. (2) We will develop a package of materials that the participants can take with them to enable them to stage a similar event on their home campuses. (3) We will design and disseminate this model to other regions of the U.S. to enable them to establish similar programs. ***
