Abstract

Abstract The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Directorate for Education and Human Resources Programs and the AAAS International Office are proposing to implement a project call Mentoring Women in International Research Collaborations (MWIRC) in STEM. The objective of this proposal is to foster the participation of U.S. female scientists and engineers in international science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research and education collaborations. This project will increase the knowledge and understanding of STEM faculty and their mentees in regards to developing, implementing, and planning international research and education collaborations. In particular, this project will help STEM faculty better understand international research priorities, resources for planning and developing international research collaborations, and guidelines for U.S. STEM researchers traveling and conducting research abroad.
