ADVANCE Leadership Award

该奖项支持为科学和工程领域的未来和现任女教授制定和实施研讨会，作为NSFADVANCE领导奖计划的一部分，由乔治华盛顿大学和Gallaudet大学的一组研究人员合作，他们在过去五年中合作开展项目，以增加女性和其他代表性不足的少数民族在高级科学，工程和数学（SEM）职业中的人数。利用早期努力的经验，将来自不同机构的学生聚集在一起，无论是大的还是小的，本地的还是遥远的，专业化的社区（例如女子学院、历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和综合性大学），考虑并准备进入科学、工程和数学研究生院（SEM），PI建议为SEM潜在和现有女性教职员工开发和运行类似的研讨会。拟议的活动将受益于由前进计划创建的管道：从1997年开始的该计划的参与者将达到毕业和在拟议的时间轴内获得教师职位的阶段。参与将征求来自全国各地，并将从成功的计划和职业在SEM的发言者。这个项目是由NSF先进计划的支持。高级方案的总体使命是通过增加妇女在学术科学和工程职业中的代表性和地位，增加妇女在科学和工程劳动力中的参与。

This award supports the development and implementation of a workshop for prospective andcurrent female professors in science and engineering fields as part of the NSFADVANCE Leadership Awards Program by a group of researchers from the GeorgeWashington University and Gallaudet University who have collaborated for the past fiveyears on projects to increase the numbers of women and other underrepresentedminorities in advanced Science, Engineering and Mathematics (SEM) careers. Using experience from earlier efforts to bring together students from different institutions, large and small, local and far away, specialized communities (e.g. women's colleges, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and comprehensive, to consider and be prepared for graduateschool in science, engineering and math (SEM), the PIs propose to develop and run a similarworkshop for potential and current female faculty members in SEM. The proposed activity will benefit from the pipeline created by the FORWARD program: participants from this program started in 1997 will be reaching graduation and the stage of securing a faculty position within theproposed timeline of the award. Participation will be solicited from across the countryand will feature speakers from successful programs and careers in SEM.This project is supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program. The overall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.
