Funding Computer Scientists to Attend the On-Ramps into Academia Workshop

2008年，美国国家科学基金会ADVANCE项目向华盛顿大学ADVANCE机构变革中心（CIC）授予了一笔赠款（HRD-0819407），用于实施“步入学术界”系列研讨会。该系列旨在为工业、咨询和政府研究实验室的博士级女性提供必要的信息和资源，使她们成功地过渡到学术界作为教员。下一次研讨会将于2009年10月18日至20日在华盛顿州西雅图举行。迄今为止的15名申请者中，有8人拥有计算机科学博士学位，另外一名女性拥有技术交流博士学位，重点是人机交互（HCI）。本增刊要求为这些计算机科学专业的妇女参加on - ramp讲习班提供旅费支持。

In 2008, the NSF ADVANCE program awarded a grant (HRD-0819407) to the University of Washington ADVANCE Center for Institutional Change (CIC) to implement the "On-Ramps into Academia" workshop series. The series aims to provide Ph.D. level women in industry, consulting, and government research labs with the information and resources necessary to make a successful transition back to academia as faculty.The next workshop will be held October 18-20, 2009 in Seattle, WA. Of the fifteen applicants to date, eight have Ph.D.s in Computer Science and an additional woman has a Ph.D. in Technical Communication with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). This supplement requests travel support for the these women in Computer Science to attend the On-Ramps workshop.
