GSE/SGER: Developing a Research Agenda for STEM Women in Leadership

拟议的项目将为将于2007年秋季举行的妇女领导问题国际会议奠定基础。这个探索性的研究项目将检查我们对各个部门的女性领导的了解，并确定需要进一步的研究来提高我们的理解和知识。这个项目将包括a。研究综述：对不同部门的女性领导力研究进行了全面的综述。综合目录学的发展：从研究回顾来看，目录学将得到发展和广泛利用。确定研究人员：将确定在不同部门工作的研究人员；选出的一些人将被邀请参加会议。制定会议框架：将制定会议要讨论的议题和问题。准备奖助金提案：将拟定并提交支持会议的奖助金。智力价值：该项目和会议将以一种尚未被提出的跨学科方式，深入了解我们对不同部门和学科的STEM女性领导和STEM女性领导的理解。更广泛的影响：该项目的跨学科方法将导致对女性领导的更清晰的理解，并将产生跨不同部门交叉施肥成功的战略和方法。从一个部门到另一个部门的知识转移的潜在影响可能导致显著提高妇女担任领导职务的战略。

This exploratory research project will examinewhat is known about women in leadership throughout various sectors and identify whatfurther research is needed to improve our understanding and knowledge.This project will encompassA. Research Review: a thorough review of the research on women's leadership indifferent sectors.B. Development of Comprehensive Bibliography: from the research review, abibliography will be developed and made widely available.C. Identification of Researchers: researchers working in the different sectors will beidentified; a selected number will be invited to participate in the conference.D. Development of Conference Framework: the issues and questions to be addressed atthe conference will be developed.E. Preparation of Grant Proposal: grant to support the conference will be developed andsubmitted.Intellectual Merit: The project and conference will provide insight into ourunderstanding of STEM women in leadership and of women's leadership in STEM,across different sectors and disciplines, in an interdisciplinary way that has not beenbroached.Broader Impact: The interdisciplinary approach of this project will lead to a clearerunderstanding of women in leadership, and will yield strategies and approaches to crossfertilizesuccesses across different sectors.
