This award provides support for reconfiguration and revitalization of a project called Womenin Linguistics Mentoring Alliance (WILMA). WILMA was started in 1996 to provide women inlinguistics with mentors to help them acquire general survival skills and guide them through theearly stages of their careers, thus increasing the numbers of women in linguistics. WILMA grewout of discussions among members of COSWL (the Committee on the Status of Women inLinguistics) and others which indicated a need for consistent mentoring practices for women inlinguistics. In this project a new program which makes use of the internet for identifying and arranging mentorships will be initiated. The goal is to create a self-sustaining website where women in linguistics can go to search for mentors who share their interests and attributes.Effective mentoring is critically important for academic advancement and personaldevelopment in any field of study. WILMA is based on a model thatsupplements rather than replaces other mentoring, on the premise that students and facultybenefit from exposure to a range of points of view and alternative responses to practicalquestions. There is also additional benefit to developing contacts beyond the home departmentand campus. Thus, the kind of mentoring provided through WILMA can be useful even towomen lucky enough to have good mentors and advisors at their home institutions.This project is supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program. The overall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.

该奖项为女性语言学指导联盟 (WILMA) 项目的重新配置和振兴提供支持。 WILMA 成立于 1996 年，旨在为语言学领域的女性提供导师，帮助她们获得一般生存技能，并指导她们度过职业生涯的早期阶段，从而增加语言学领域女性的数量。 WILMA 源于 COSWL（女性语言学地位委员会）成员和其他成员之间的讨论，这些讨论表明需要对女性语言学进行一致的指导实践。在这个项目中，将启动一个利用互联网来识别和安排指导的新计划。目标是创建一个自我维持的网站，语言学领域的女性可以在那里寻找与她们有共同兴趣和特质的导师。有效的指导对于任何研究领域的学术进步和个人发展都至关重要。 WILMA 基于一种补充而不是取代其他指导的模式，其前提是学生和教师从接触一系列观点和对实际问题的替代回答中受益。发展家庭部门和校园之外的联系还有额外的好处。因此，通过 WILMA 提供的指导对于那些幸运地在其所在机构拥有优秀导师和顾问的女性来说也是有用的。该项目得到了 NSF ADVANCE 计划的支持。 ADVANCE 计划的总体使命是通过增加女性在学术科学和工程职业中的代表性和进步来增加女性在科学和工程劳动力中的参与。
