BUILDING WOMEN'S CAREERS IN SCIENCE

美国国立卫生研究院妇女健康研究办公室与美国细胞生物学学会将召开一次会议，重点讨论与促进妇女事业有关的科学学会及其委员会。参与者将有200-300人，由代表所有生命科学和相关学科的科学学会提名的大约50人组成，其余的人将通过开放注册的方式填满，先到先得。与会者将分享在促进女性在科学领域的事业方面的战略、成功和失败。会议将有最少的正式发言；大部分会议将是互动的。预期的结果将是将新的想法带回参与社会并由其实施，以促进妇女的科学事业。此外，下文所述的妇女职业资源汇编将在适当的网站上公布。参与的社会将是那些其成员是博士水平的科学家，他们可能会合理地向NIH申请支持。这些领域不仅包括传统的生物医学和行为领域，还包括非传统领域，如数学、物理和工程学--NIH正在努力将这些学科纳入其支持的研究中。此次会议不会试图讨论医学博士S所特有的职业问题。这些问题可能会在未来的一次会议上得到解决。将考虑的职业阶段将涵盖本科生到全职教授或同等学历，包括这些资深人士如何获得国家认可。学术、行业、政府和其他领域的职业生涯也将得到考虑。

The National Institutes of Health Office of Research on Women's Health, with the American Society for Cell Biology, will convene a meeting focused around the scientific societies and their committees concerned with promoting women's careers. There will be 200-300 participants consisting of a core of about 50 people nominated by scientific societies representing all life science and related disciplines, and the remainder to be filled through open registration on a first-come basis. Participants will share strategies, successes, and failures in promoting the careers of women in the sciences. The meeting will have a minimum of formal presentations; the majority of the sessions will be interactive. The expected outcome will be new ideas to be taken back to and implemented by the participating societies to promote the scientific careers of women. In addition, the assembled resources for women's careers, described below, would be posted on an appropriate web site. The societies to be involved would be those whose members are Ph.D. level scientists who might reasonably apply to NIH for support. These include not only the traditional biomedical and behavioral areas but the non-traditional areas such as mathematics, physics, and engineering - where NIH is reaching out to include such disciplines in the research it supports. The meeting would not attempt to address issues unique to the careers of scientists who are M.D.'s. These could be addressed by a possible future meeting. The career stages to be considered would span undergraduates through full professor or equivalent, including how such senior individuals achieve national recognition. Careers in academic, industry, government and elsewhere would be considered.
