Intensive Grantsmanship Workshop (IGW)

来自哥伦比亚大学师范学院的这个项目汇集了一群代表STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)和相关领域(如心理学、认知发展、生理学)的女院士，进行为期三天的战略重点网络、小组讨论和配对指导。在智力上，该项目支持一个研讨会，旨在提高人们的认识，并提供利用网络和赠款的机会，以支持教育研究。它试图解决为什么更多的女性，特别是非裔美国女性、博士生、教职员工和管理人员不申请补助金，并从学院和大学以外的资金来源获得补助金。该项目探索了减少障碍的方法，这些障碍可能会干扰未来的网络和融资机会。研讨会的主要主题包括增加奖学金、关于导师的知识、资金来源、机构一级对提交提案的支持、大学一级的合作者、与同行和资助机构会面以准备撰写提案的旅行资金、大学提供提案制定方面的支持和培训的同行网络，以及缺乏出版物以提高研究竞争力。从更广泛的影响角度来看，该项目侧重于如何通过更多地了解赠款资金来帮助妇女改进研究，以支持她们的工作。此外，授予高等教育教师晋升和终身教职的标准包括研究、教学和服务。获得终身教职的核心是获得外部资金。过去，女性，特别是非裔美国女性很难获得拨款，这对教师的职业发展至关重要。因此，这次研讨会的重点是关于学术界女性的总体情况，她们需要为自己的研究和奖学金获得资金，以及她们需要与学院中的其他女性建立联系。讲习班建立在学院内外相关和先前努力的现有知识和做法的基础上。它将妇女的力量结合起来，作为一种有效的方式，通过网络和资质来改进研究和出版工作。成果包括加强女院士之间在STEM和相关领域的支持和学习网络，增加对赠款资金来源和资助机会的了解，以及改善指导，以促进相对于教育研究的个人和专业成长。

This project from Teachers College, Columbia University brings together a group of women academicians representing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and related fields (e.g. psychology, cognitive development, physiology) for three days of strategically focused networking, panel discussions, and paired mentoring. Intellectually, the project supports a workshop aimed at increasing awareness and providing access to networking and grantsmanship opportunities to support education research. It seeks to address why more women, especially African American women, doctoral students, faculty, and administrators do not apply for grants and also obtain grant award from funding sources external to colleges and universities. The project explores ways to mitigate barriers that might interfere with future networking and funding opportunities. Major topics for the workshop include increasing scholarship, knowledge about mentorship, funding sources, support at the institutional level to submit a proposal, collaborators at the university level, funds to travel to meet with peers and funding agencies in preparation for writing proposals, peer network at universities to offer support and training in proposal development, and the lack of publications to increase research competitiveness.From the broader impact perspective, the project focuses on ways to help women improve their research by becoming more knowledgeable about grant funds to support their work. In addition, the standard to award promotion and tenure to faculty in higher education encompasses research, teaching, and service. Core to obtaining a tenured faculty appointment involves the procurement of external funding. In the past, it has been difficult for females, in particular, African American females to obtain grant funding, which is fundamental to the career development of faculty. Hence, this workshop focuses on the big picture regarding women in academia, their need to obtain funding for their research and scholarship, and their need to connect with other women in the academy. The workshop builds on existing knowledge and practice from relevant and prior efforts in the academy and beyond. It uses the combined strength of women as an effective way to improve research and publishing through networking and grantsmanship. The outcomes include strengthening the network between women academicians for support and learning in STEM and related fields, increasing knowledge about grant funding resources and funding opportunities, and improving mentoring to facilitate growth personally and professionally relative to research in education.
