A Workshop for Young Female Researchers in Speech Science and Technology

年轻女性研究人员研讨会解决了语音科学和技术方面的一个挑战：相对较少的初级女性研究人员正在准备从事演讲工作。其目标是通过提供一个场所，让言语科学和技术领域的学生可以相互介绍她们的工作和向资深女性研究人员介绍她们的工作，并让资深女性可以向学生描述自己的研究和职业经历并指导他们，从而培养人们对言语领域研究的兴趣。研讨会的对象是目前从事语音科学和技术工作的女本科生和硕士生，她们在学院和大学的个人或小组项目上有一些研究经验，但尚未承诺获得语音科学或技术领域的博士学位。本次2018年研修班是第三届年会。它的特色是与资深女性言语科学和技术研究人员进行小组讨论，学生海报演示，以及辅导会议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Workshop for Young Female Researchers addresses a challenge in speech science and technology: there are relatively few junior women researchers in the 'pipeline' to careers in speech. The goal is to foster interest in research in the field of speech by providing a venue where students in speech science and technology can present their work to each other and to senior women researchers, and where senior women can describe their own research and career experience to students and mentor them. The workshop targets women undergraduate and masters students who are currently working in speech science and technology, who have had some research experience in their college and universities on individual or group projects in those areas, but who have not yet committed to getting a PhD in speech science or technology areas. This 2018 workshop is the third annual meeting. It features panel discussions with senior female speech science and technology researchers, student poster presentations, and a mentoring session.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
