National
Science Foundation ADVANCE Program
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
scientific and engineering careers. To meet this goal, the ADVANCE
Program provides 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 womens advancement
to the highest ranks of academic leadership. Creative approaches
to realize the goal of the program are sought from women and men.
Members of underrepresented minority groups and individuals with
disabilities are encouraged to apply.
