The Status of Women in Academic Science and Engineering: A Comparative Study of 14 Countries

9528313卡明斯拟议的研究项目将分析现有和独特的国际数据库--卡内基教授调查，以比较14个国家(美国、英国、德国、荷兰、俄罗斯、瑞典、香港、日本、韩国、巴西、智利、墨西哥、以色列和澳大利亚)科学和工程专业女教师的地位。这一国际数据库目前未得到充分利用。已经进行了一些个别国家的分析，但没有进行国家间的比较。国家科学基金会和科学政策制定者对影响妇女在科学和工程学院追求职业生涯的机构特征和国家因素的拟议分析具有重大意义。

9528313 Cummings The proposed research project will analyze an existing and unique international database, the Carnegie Survey of the Professoriate, to compare the status of women faculty in science and engineering within 14 countries (the United States, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Israel, and Australia). This international database is currently underutilized. A few individual country analyses have been conducted, but no comparisons across countries have been made. The proposed analysis of characteristics of institutions and national factors which influence women in pursuing careers in science and engineering faculty is of significant interest to NSF and science policymakers.
