Women, Trustee Grants
The following grants were made from an appropriation approved in 2000 by the Sloan Board of Trustees to support the Sloan Pre-Tenure Leave Fellowship Program. The goal of this program was to make more acceptable a faculty member's taking of a leave for purposes of childbearing, infant care, and other unexpected dependent care, and to promote institutional mechanisms that would minimize the career cost of taking such a leave. Each grant provides funds for a fellowship to the indicated faculty member, the amount to be supplemented by the faculty member's home institution. In each case, funds have been added for the fellow's department, to be used to focus attention on and address work-family issues for other faculty, postdoctoral fellows, or graduate students. (This program has been discontinued. In its place is the Dual Ladder Program, designed to improve the career advancement of women in the academy. Grants in this new program are described under the heading "Workplace, Workforce and Working Families" in the section of the Annual Report titled "Standard of Living and Economic Performance.")
