ADVANCE Leadership Award

这一奖项是为了继续布林莫尔学院在促进和支持数学科学领域的下一代女性方面的工作。该奖项支持数学系朗达·休斯教授的外展、指导和研究项目。这项工作建立在首席研究人员和数学系以往工作的基础上，旨在进一步确定和推广有效的结构，以促进女性数学科学家的成功发展，使她们最终能够在科学、工程和数学界担任领导职务。这项工作的很大一部分涉及与斯佩尔曼学院西尔维娅·博兹曼教授的合作，以及斯佩尔曼和布林·莫尔学院之间的合作。活动涉及四个主要部分：(1)EDGE出版计划，该计划将提供广泛传播有关增加女性在数学研究生课程中留住女性并支持其职业发展的成功战略的信息；(2)女性能力建设计划，该计划将建立一个三层指导计划，以提高女性在学术界晋升到领导职位的能力；(3)2003年EDGE研讨会，它将提供一个论坛，以确定和传播关于有助于这一进步的机构和个人范例的信息，并包括EDGE重聚和指导研讨会；和(4)首席研究人员的研究计划，这将使首席研究人员能够加强她在泛函分析和算符理论方面的研究计划，并允许本科生和研究生更多地参与及时的数学研究领域，其长期目标是追求数学科学的职业生涯。该项目由国家卫生研究院通过NSF高级计划提供支持。高级方案的总体任务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工作中的参与度。

This award is to continue the work of Bryn Mawr College in the promotion and support of the next generation of women in the mathematical sciences. The award supports the outreach, mentoring, and research projects of Professor Rhonda Hughes of the Department of Mathematics. This effort builds on previous efforts of the Principal Investigator and the College, aims to further identify and replicate effective structures that promote the successful advancement of women mathematical scientists, so that they might eventually assume positions of leadership in the science, engineering, and mathematics community. A significant portion of the work involves collaboration with Professor Sylvia Bozeman of Spelman College, as well as cooperation between Spelman and Bryn Mawr Colleges.The activity involves four major components:(1)The EDGE PublicationProgram, which would provide for the broad dissemination of information about successful strategies for increasing the retention of women in graduate programs in mathematics,and supporting the advancement of their careers;(2)The Capacity Building Program forWomen, which would establish a three-tiered mentoring program in order to increase thecapacity of women to advance to positions of leadership in the academic community;(3)The EDGE Symposium 2003,which would provide a forum for identifying and disseminating information about institutional and individual paradigms that contribute to thisadvancement, and include an EDGE Reunion and mentoring workshops; and (4)The Re-search Program of the Principal Investigator, which would enable the Principal Investigatorto intensify her research program in functional analysis and operator theory, and permitthe increased involvement of undergraduate and graduate students in timely areas of mathematical research, with the long-range goal of their pursuing careers in the mathematicalsciences.This project is supported by the National Institutes of Health through 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.
