Special Project: Travel Support for the CRA-W FCRC ``Super-Mentoring" Workshop: Atlanta GA This grant aims at sponsoring ``super-mentoring'' workshop for FCRC '99 which expands the previous (primarily junior and academic) mentoring workshop target audience to include women involved in research careers at national laboratories and within the industrial sector, as well as senior (post-tenure) women who may be beginning to deal with impediments to further promotion. The requested support is for travel grants for participants and speakers, and support for the primary workshop social event. Past experience has shown that the travel grants are critical for many women who could not have attended otherwise. Based on the comments from women who have attended similar workshops organized by the Computing Research Association in the past, it is expected that this workshop will serve as a catalyst for positive and important changes in participant's lives.
