- To double the number of women chemists in academic tenure track positions at all levels in five years through aggressive efforts by academic institutions and federal funding agencies.
- To eliminate gender biases that have a negative impact on the hiring, tenure, and promotion of women faculty; their ability to publish and secure federal and local funding; their opportunity to advance into leadership roles in local and national scientific enterprises; their nomination and selection for awards and fellowships and election to membership of prestigious scientific organizations.
- To educate the chemistry departments, chemistry related research centers and institutes, and federal funding agencies about the value of diversity in the scientific enterprise, the importance of aggressively pursuing the recruitment and retention of women faculty, and the need to eliminate gender related barriers and biases that impair their appointment and advancement.
- To establish a set of best practices and benchmarks that will assist academic departments, research centers and universities in increasing the number of tenure track women in chemistry related fields and in eliminating gender biases in decision making processes that impact their careers.
- To educate the chemistry community on how adoption and implementation of these best practices can enable chemistry departments and centers to provide a more productive and supportive environment for all their participants, not just women.
- To make recommendations to funding agencies on how they can play an active role in increasing the number of women in academic chemistry departments, eliminate gender bias in their own decision making processes and establish benchmarks for determining success in their endeavors and the programs that they support.
