Collaborative Research: Framing the Issue: A NETWORKing Workshop to Address Academic Advancement of Hispanic Women in STEM

在拟议的项目中，大都会大学和马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校将举办一个试点研讨会，将汇集来自几个社区的知名专家，包括ADVANCE社区、美国国家科学基金会和性别研究人员，以扩大拉丁裔博士后研究员和初级教师的专业和指导网络。从2003年开始，这些机构在增加少数族裔学生获得博士学位的人数方面有着长期的合作关系。然而，自2007年以来，这一伙伴关系已通过一份谅解备忘录正式确立，其中包括两所院校教师之间的合作。预计试点讲习班将提供一个基础，在此基础上，可以对学术STEM学科中的西班牙裔妇女进行更有意义和深思熟虑的调查。研讨会的特点是相关的全体会议和小组分组会议，这将为与会者提供机会，以更好地定义拉丁裔STEM教师的学习课程，并确定与这一目标人群相关的更广泛和未来重点的途径。

In the proposed project, Universidad Metropolitana and the University of Maryland Baltimore County will conduct a pilot workshop that will bring together noted experts from several communities, including the ADVANCE community, the NSF and gender studies researchers to broaden the professional and mentoring networks of Latina postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty. These institutions have a longstanding partnership in increasing the number of underrepresented minority students who earn the doctoral degree that dates back to 2003. However, since 2007, this partnership has been formalized through a memorandum of understanding that includes a focus on collaborations among faculty at both institutions. It is expected that the pilot workshop will provide a foundation upon which more meaningful and deliberate investigation of Hispanic women in the academic STEM disciplines can be examined. The workshop is characterized by relevant plenary and group breakout sessions that will provide attendees with the opportunity to better define the course of study on Latina STEM faculty and determine pathways to broader and future emphases as it relates to this target population.
