Report on the FY '98 Activities of the POWRE

Program

(Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and

Education)

The Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) announcement

was developed in the spring of 1997 to inaugurate a program that would merge the previous targeted

women’s programs into one overall program. In Fiscal Year 1998 (FY98), the second POWRE

competition was held. Funding from NSF programs and directorates, with additional funds made

available by the Office of Research on Women's Health in the National Institutes of Health (NIH),

totaled over $13 million in FY98.

The FY98 competition was conducted under NSF announcement 97-91. Management of the

competition was coordinated through an internal NSF working group with NSF-wide directorate and

office representation, referred to as the PCC (POWRE Coordinating Committee). To effectively

distribute the announcement, the PCC made extensive use of web connections maintained by science

and engineering research, education, and industry organizations.

In addition to planning for management, directorate and office coordinating groups prepared web

sites that include clarifying information for women proposing in each disciplinary area, and also

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) pages. These web sites are extremely effective in

communicating with prospective PI’s, and pages from these web sites are linked through the

POWRE home page found under "Crosscutting Programs" at the NSF web site.

Information on all awards is summarized in Table 1. A total of 790 proposals and supplement

requests were received, including 704 proposals and 86 supplement requests. Overall, a total of 206

awards, including 174 new grants and 32 supplements to existing awards, were made. The NSF-wide

success rate was 26 percent and, among the directorates and OPP, the success rates varied from 24

percent to 40 percent.

Details about all grants made in the POWRE competitions including abstracts, can be found by

typing "POWRE" in the NSF Award Data Search Box. Information about a specific award may be

obtained by entering the appropriate award number in that same box. A tabular listing of the awards

is included as Table 2.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds research and education in most fields of science and engineering.

Grantees are wholly responsible for conducting their project activities and preparing the results for publication. Thus,

the Foundation does not assume responsibility for such findings or their interpretation.

NSF welcomes proposals from all qualified scientists, engineers and educators. The Foundation strongly encourages

women, minorities, and persons with disabilities to compete fully in its programs. In accordance with federal

statutes, regulations, and NSF policies, no person on grounds of race, color, age, sex, national origin, or disability

shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any

program or activity receiving financial assistance from NSF (unless otherwise specified in the eligibility

requirements for a particular program).

Facilitation Awards for Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities (FASED) provide funding for special assistance or

equipment to enable persons with disabilities (investigators and other staff, including student research assistants) to

work on NSF-supported projects. See the program announcement or contact the program coordinator at (703) 306-
