Project Scope
|
a) In response to a formal mandate from Congress, the Committee on Women in
Science and Engineering (CWSE) and the Committee on National Statistics of the
National Research Council will conduct a study to assess gender differences in
the careers of science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM) faculty, focusing on
four-year institutions of higher education that award Bachelor's and graduate
degrees. The study will build on the Academy's previous work and examine
issues such as faculty hiring, promotion, tenure, and allocation of
institutional resources including (but not limited to) laboratory space. The
study will: 1) update data analysis of a previous CWSE study; 2) collect and
analyze currently available departmental data on careers of women faculty, and;
3) survey a small sample of university departments.
b) This study is sponsored by The National Science Foundation.
c) The approximate starting date for this study is: December 15, 2003.
NOTE: The project duration has been extended. The final report is expected to be issued by fall 2006.
d) A Final Report will be issued at the end of the project in approximately 18
month
