Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and Dissemination (PAID): Department Chair Training to Increase Women in Neuroscience (IWIN)

神经科学学会（SfN）将实施一项预付款项目，重点是通过针对系主任来增加女性在神经科学学科中的机会。该项目的总体和长期目标是增加神经科学教师中女性的数量，包括未被充分代表的少数民族（URM）女性。这将通过改变与学术神经科学和神经科学相关部门的女性招聘、晋升和工作环境相关的行为和实践来实现。详细的项目战略将使SfN能够接触到多达300名系主任，并影响50多个机构。具体而言，SfN付费项目将包括：以八个区域互动讲习班的形式进行培训干预；制定机构级实施计划；通过点对点互动和在线资源为参与者提供持续支持；传播经验教训和最佳做法。知识价值。SfN预付项目将使用来自密歇根大学、亚利桑那大学和华盛顿大学的工作坊材料。这些机构都开发了ADVANCE资源，这些资源已被证明可以改善女教师的招聘、晋升和工作环境。在宏观层面上，通过影响变革，目前的项目将允许女性进入神经科学的最高水平，并在那里充分实现她们的贡献。更广泛的影响。由于：1)项目的设计（多层次的培训和支持活动），预计该项目将产生比直接项目参与者更广泛的影响；2)神经科学领域的跨学科性质，涉及多个STEM学术部门和项目；3) SfN作为该行业首要协会的作用。该项目对讲习班的支助将有助于在机构一级广泛传播信息。通过该项目确定的最佳实践和经验教训将直接适用于神经科学和其他与神经科学相关的部门，SfN非常适合通过其多种交流资源（期刊、会员通讯、年会、网站等）和合作伙伴传播这些信息。这种可转移性是神经科学领域独有的，最终将使经验教训和最佳实践在NSF资助之外可持续发展。SfN将使用形成性和总结性评价来监控和评价项目目标的进展。将在项目最后一年举行的最佳做法会议上汇编和传播从这个项目中吸取的经验教训，作为项目最后一年的总结活动。这项活动将确保在神经科学和相关领域的学术界分享最佳实践，并应用于SfN在资助期后的项目延续。

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will implement an ADVANCE PAID project that focuses on enhancing opportunities for women in the neuroscience disciplines by targeting department chairs. The overall and long-term goal of this project is to increase the number of women, including underrepresented minority (URM) women, among faculty in neuroscience. This will be accomplished by effecting change in behavior and practice related to recruitment, promotion and work climate for women within academic neuroscience and neuroscience-related departments. The detailed project strategy will allow SfN to reach up to 300 department chairs and to influence over 50 institutions. Specifically, the SfN PAID project will involve: a training intervention in the form of eight regional interactive workshops; development of institution-level implementation plans; ongoing support to participants through peer-to-peer interaction and online resources; and dissemination of lessons learned and best practices. Intellectual Merit. The SfN ADVANCE PAID project will utilize workshop materials from the University of Michigan, University of Arizona, and University of Washington. Each of these institutions developed ADVANCE resources that have been proven to improve recruitment, promotion and work climate for women faculty. At the macro level, by effecting change, the current project will allow women to arrive and thrive in the highest levels of neuroscience where their contributions can be realized to the fullest. Broader Impact. This project is expected to have broader impact beyond the immediate project participants as a result of: 1) the project's design (multi-level training and support activities); 2) the interdisciplinary nature of the field of neuroscience which reaches across multiple STEM academic departments and programs; and 3) the role of SfN as the premier association for the profession. The project's support for workshops will help disseminate information broadly at the institutional level. The best practices and lessons learned identified through the project will be directly applicable to neuroscience and other neuroscience-related departments, and SfN is ideally suited to disseminate this information through its multiple communication resources (journal, member newsletters, annual meeting, Web site, etc.) and partners. This transferability is unique to the field of neuroscience and will ultimately make the lessons learned and best practices sustainable beyond NSF funding.SfN will monitor and evaluate progress toward project objectives using formative and summative evaluations. The lessons learned from this project will be compiled and disseminated at a best practices meeting to be held as a wrap-up activity in the final project year. This activity will ensure that best practices are shared across academia in neuroscience and related fields and are applied to SfN's continuation of the project beyond the grant period.
