ADVANCE - Increasing the Participation and Advancement of Women in
Academic Science and Engineering Careers
The goal 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. To meet this goal, the FY 01 ADVANCE pilot program
provides new award opportunities for both individuals and organizations:
Fellows Awards, Institutional Transformation Awards, and Leadership
Awards. With each of the three types of ADVANCE awards, NSF seeks to
support new approaches to improving the climate for women in U.S.
academic institutions and to facilitate women's advancement to the
highest ranks of academic leadership. Creative approaches to realize the
goal of this pilot program are sought from men and women. Members of
under-represented minority groups and individuals with disabilities are
encouraged to apply.
