Administrator Shadowing Awards were designed to give women faculty in science and engineering the opportunity to shadow a senior University administrator and work on a semester-long project that would have institutional impact.

Based on feedback from women faculty and university administrators, the award is being modified to offer opportunities for senior faculty members to take on significant leadership roles within their departments while learning about gender equity issues. A second component of the revised program will serve as an extension of our Visiting Scholars Program. This component funds departmental seminars given by visiting women and minority scientists.

Additional information and calls for proposals will be provided at the beginning of 2010.
