ADVANCE Leadership: Advancement of Research Oriented and Education Oriented Associate Professors to Full Professors

该项目的目标是通过增加各级妇女的参与来提高计算机科学与工程(CSE)国家学术队伍的水平。在过去的二十年里，CSE是唯一一个经历了本科生女性参与率大幅下降的科学学科。为了保持国家在全球科学、技术和经济中的竞争优势，必须在CSE等关键领域招聘和留住女性。在CSE学术项目中，女性在其最资深和最引人注目的教职员工中几乎没有榜样：2003/2004学年，CSE全职教授中女性不到10%。成功的资深女性教员提供了女性学生需要的榜样、教师、导师和“存在证明”，如果她们认为CSE的职业是可行的，而男性学生需要这些，如果她们想要发展对女性同事的适当平衡的观点。这个CRA-W项目通过扩大副教授队列计划(CAPP)解决了女教授太少的问题，该计划旨在通过形成和指导副教授级别的女性队列来增加CSE女性教职员工的比例。队列项目的基石是资深女性的参与，她们被任命为CRA-W杰出教授，作为榜样、导师和顾问积极参与。该项目建立了一个副教授社区，为他们提供指导、领导能力培训、鼓励和持续的同行支持活动。该方案包括职业发展讲习班--一个是为主要职能是研究的女教员举办的(CAPP-R)，另一个是为主要职能是教育的女教员举办的(CAPP-E)，以及与技术会议/研讨会相结合的一系列较小会议，以及正在进行的电子支助活动。

The goal of this project is to improve the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) national academic workforce by increasing the participation of women at all levels. CSE is the only scientific discipline that has experienced a significant drop in the participation of undergraduate women in the last twenty years. In order to keep the nations competitive edge in the global science, technology and economy, women must be recruited and retained in critical fields such as CSE. Women in CSE academic programs have few role models among their most senior and visible faculty: In the academic year 2003/2004, less than 10% of CSE full professors were women. Successful, senior female faculty provide the role models, teachers, mentors, and "existence proofs" that female students need if they are to see careers in CSE as viable and that male students need if they are to develop appropriately balanced views of female colleagues.This CRA-W project addresses the problem of too few full professor women faculty by expanding the Associate Professor Cohort Program (CAPP) that aims to increase the percentage of CSE women faculty with the rank of full professor by forming and mentoring a cohort of women from the associate professor ranks. The cornerstone of the Cohort Project is the involvement of senior women, appointed as CRA-W Distinguished Professors, who actively participate as role models, mentors, and advisers. The project builds a community of associate professors, providing them with mentoring, leadership training, encouragement and ongoing peer-support activities. The program includes Professional Development Workshops - one for women faculty whose primary function is research (CAPP-R) and one for women faculty whose primary function is education (CAPP-E), a series of smaller meetings in conjunction with technical conferences/seminars, and ongoing electronically-based support activities.
