ADVANCE Leadership Award: Women in Science and Engineering: A Guide to Maximizing their Potential

一个由科学、工程和公共政策委员会（COSEPUP）监督的特设委员会将为教师、学术管理人员和领导人、资助组织和政府官员编写一份报告指南，以最大限度地发挥女科学家和工程师的潜力，确保国家科学和工程研究事业的领导地位。然而，很少有研究充分考虑到隐性和显性的障碍，职业发展和种族和性别的交叉性时，审查妇女在大学教师的代表性。我们需要的是这些数据的综合，以产生一个全面的跨学科的指导有效的政策和做法，招聘，雇用和留住女教师。该研究委员会将整合所有S E领域中有关性别问题的丰富数据，包括与机构招聘，保留和晋升做法和政策有关的数据。这项研究将解决其调查结果和建议，教师，行政和资助者谁决定机构文化和实施政策的每一层。该委员会将提出切实可行的措施和政策，以减轻性别偏见和其他限制女科学家和工程师职业发展的因素。多样性似乎是创造力和生产力的重要因素。在企业界，研究表明，有更多妇女担任领导职务的公司在财务上表现得更好。在科技领域获得本科和研究生学位的人中，妇女的比例越来越大，但她们没有被聘为与这一比例增加相适应的学术教师职位。 该委员会将重点关注女性科研人员，但也将审查其他研究部门，以确定有效的做法，并为女性科研人员的招聘、雇用、晋升和保留提出调查结果和建议。

An-ad hoc committee, overseen by the Committee on Science, Engineering, and PublicPolicy (COSEPUP) will produce a report guide to faculty, academic administrators and leaders,funding organizations, and government officials to maximize the potential of women scientistsand engineers and ensure the leadership of the nations science and engineering (S&E) researchenterprise.Much work has been done to assess the representation of women in academic faculty. However, few studies have adequately considered implicit and explicit barriers to career advancement and the intersectionality of race and gender when examining the representation of women among university faculty. What is needed is a synthesis of this data to produce a comprehensive interdisciplinary guide to effective policies and practices for recruiting, hiring, and retaining women faculty. The study committee will integrate the wealth of data available on gender issues across all fields of S&E, including data pertaining to institutional recruitment, retention, and promotion practices and policies. This study would address its findings and recommendations to each of the layers of faculty, administration, and funders who determine institutional culture and implement policies. The committee will recommend practical measures and policies to mitigate gender bias and other factors that limit career advancement for women scientists and engineers.Diversity appears to be an important factor in creativity and productivity. In the corporate world, studies have shown that the companies with more women in leadership positions performed better financially. Women are an increasing proportion of those earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in S&E fields, however they have not been hired into academic faculty positions commensurate with this increasing representation. The committee will focus on academe, but will examine other research sectors to determine effective practices and develop findings and recommendations for recruiting, hiring, promotion, and retention of women S&E researchers
