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.
