EAGER: Quantitative Studies of Career Trajectories for African American Women in Engineering and Computing
PI: Gilda Barabino, Co-PI: Paolo Gaudiano, Consultant: Thomas Woodson National Science Foundation, Awarded 9/1/2019 to 8/30/2021. Awarded Amount: 299,311. Grant #193677 Summary: The lack of progress in broadening the participation of African American women in the academy, industry and tech entrepreneurship remains at the margins despite years of interventions and initiatives frequently intended for women and minorities. Innovative approaches are warranted to address seemingly intractable issues and ensure progress. This project combines data collection, quantitative analysis, social and behavioral sciences and simulations to elucidate factors that underlie the career trajectories of African American women. These findings can, then, provide insights for the development of meaningful strategies and interventions to increase the participation and career success of African American women in engineering and computing. |
