Association for Women in Science : ウィキペディア英語版 | Association for Women in Science The Association for Women in Science was founded in 1971 at the annual Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) meeting. The organization aims to combat job discrimination, lower pay, and professional isolation. The main issue areas that the modern Association addresses are fair compensation, work-life integration, attrition, and professional development.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://awis.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=25 )〕 ==History==
AWIS was founded in 1971 at the annual meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), after a series of champagne brunches organized by an informal women's caucus. After establishing an executive director and an office in Washington, DC, chapters were organized across the country for individual members. Its founding co-presidents were Neena Schwartz and Judith Pool. Along with other women in science associations, an early AWIS action involved initiating a class action lawsuit against the National Institutes of Health in response to poor representation on NIH grant review committees. The lawsuit was dropped after representatives of the groups, including Schwartz, met with Robert Marsten, then head of the NIH, who solicited recommendations and committed to appointing more women. Early projects include the creation of the AWIS Educational Foundation (now known as the Educational Awards) to receive donations and award fellowships. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.awis.affiniscape.com/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=34 )〕 In 1997, AWIS won the Presidents Mentoring Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://paesmem.net/awards/institutions/159 )〕
