In collaboration with an intersociety group formed through the NIH Office on Research on Women’s Health [Achieving XXcellence in Science (AXXS) Advancing Women’s Contributions to Science Through Professional Societies], this workshop will offer a two-way dialogue between some who know how other societies are working to help their members, and others who will benefit from learning about other societies’ practices (see http://www4.od.nih.gov/axxs), to advance the careers of women and minorities in the sciences. The workshop will familiarize SfN members with the AXXS initiative, facilitate engagement of SfN members in identifying current and prospective practices within the Society that are beneficial to the promotion and advancement of women and minorities in neuroscientific careers, assist in the development of a societal self-assessment tool to evaluate and measure future progress, and garner SfN membership input for the development and preparation of the AXXS 2005 conference goals and agenda. Pre-registration is required, because participants will engage in a pre-workshop needs assessment process.
