Collaborative Research: Facilitating career advancement for women in the Geosciences through the Earth Science Women's Network (ESWN)

Another successful grant application this year, entitled "Collaborative Research: Facilitating career advancement for women in the Geosciences through the Earth Science Women's Network (ESWN)," was awarded by NSF to colleagues and myself as the lead-PI. Since 2002, ESWN has grown from 5 members into a disciplinary, peer network representing over 750 female scientists across the globe, most early in their career within the geosciences discipline. Building on the success of ESWN's activities to date, NSF ADVANCE funding will support the following initiatives over four years: three career development workshops; professional networking events at major scientific conferences; and development of an ESWN web center that will build connections and collaborations for and among women in the Earth Sciences while increasing the visibility of women scientists both within the scientific community and publicly.
