This award supports the development of a new database of science and engineeringdepartment chairs and the development and administration of a comprehensive survey ofdepartment chairs. The department chairs survey will collect information about the respondents'personal and professional background, their career-related perceptions and attitudes, and theinstitutional setting of their department. This data will support detailed multivariate analysisexamining the determinants of women's entry into, or lack of movement into, positions ofdepartmental leadership. The lack of demographic data on department chairs and the processes by which they are chosen represents a significant gap in the knowledge about the progress of women in assuming a key academic leadership position. To address this gap in knowledge, project objectives are to develop and implement a department chairs survey and to construct a new database of demographic and career-related information on science and engineering department chairs.This study will help to achieve significant change by bringing to light the criteria and processesused to select chairs. Institutional accountability and presence of public data on the proportionsof female chairs can make a profound difference in the level of attention paid to theappointments. Systemic change must include not only increasing leadership diversity in theupper administrative levels, but also at the local level (i.e., the department). The chair is alsocritical to initiating other change within the department.This project is jointly supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program and the National Institutes of Health. 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.

该奖项支持科学与工程系主任新数据库的开发以及系主任综合调查的开发和管理。系主任调查将收集有关受访者的个人和专业背景、他们与职业相关的看法和态度以及其部门的机构设置的信息。这些数据将支持详细的多变量分析，以检查女性进入或缺乏进入部门领导职位的决定因素。缺乏关于系主任及其选举程序的人口统计数据，表明人们对女性在担任关键学术领导职位方面的进展了解存在重大差距。为了解决这一知识差距，项目目标是制定和实施系主任调查，并构建一个新的科学和工程系主任人口统计和职业相关信息数据库。这项研究将通过揭示系主任的情况来帮助实现重大变革用于选择主席的标准和流程。机构问责制和有关女性主席比例的公共数据的存在可以对任命的关注程度产生深远的影响。系统性变革不仅必须包括增加上层行政级别的领导多样性，而且还包括地方级别（即部门）的领导多样性。该主席对于在部门内发起其他变革也至关重要。该项目由 NSF ADVANCE 计划和美国国立卫生研究院联合支持。 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。
