National Science Foundation grant that will help the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln recruit, promote and
retain female faculty in the science, technology,
engineering and mathematics fields. The grant is from
NSF's ADVANCE program, which aims to increase
participation and advancement of women in academic
science and engineering careers. The five-year ADVANCE-Nebraska
grant will enable UNL to create new
programs to recruit and support women faculty through
each stage of their career and will be a clearinghouse
for job applicants to learn about UNL's existing family
friendly policies and for department chairs to get
information about best hiring practices.
