Appendix C

Material Selection Process for “The Impact of COVID-19 on Collaboration, Mentorship and Sponsorship, and Role of Networks and Professional Organizations,” by Misty Heggeness and Rochelle Williams

Misty Heggeness and Rochelle Williams, the commissioned authors for “The Impact of COVID-19 on Collaboration, Mentorship and Sponsorship, and Role of Networks and Professional Organizations,” conducted an extensive review of recent articles on the academy; women; science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM); the COVID-19 pandemic; collaborations; and networks both in scientific journals and in the broader public domain of media, newspapers, and blogs. In addition, they conducted a literature review for rigorous evaluations on the impact of mentoring, professional organizations, and institutions in enhancing professional development and advancement. The authors of this paper viewed webinars (live and recorded) by various societies and networks, including the ADVANCE Resource and Coordination Network, American Economics Association Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession, and others to cull resources.

They also reviewed the websites of professional scientific, engineering, and medical organizations and networks, such as the American Geophysical Union, Society of Women Engineers, and the Aspire Alliance, to determine how those groups are responding to membership needs. The complete list is available in Table C-1. To collate the list of professional STEMM organizations, they first selected organizations represented by membership in the Council of Engineering and Scientific Society Executives. They also utilized the comprehensive list of professional organizations and associations complied on https://jobstars.com/science-professional-associations-organizations. They also did special searches for computing, mathematical, and medical professional organizations to ensure adequate representation.

The spring of 2020 marked a change in how almost everyone conducted their personal and professional lives, both within science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) and beyond. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global scientific conferences and individual laboratories and required people to find space in their homes from which to work. It blurred the boundaries between work and non-work, infusing ambiguity into everyday activities. While adaptations that allowed people to connect became more common, the evidence available at the end of 2020 suggests that the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic endangered the engagement, experience, and retention of women in academic STEMM, and may roll back some of the achievement gains made by women in the academy to date.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Careers of Women in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine identifies, names, and documents how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the careers of women in academic STEMM during the initial 9-month period since March 2020 and considers how these disruptions - both positive and negative - might shape future progress for women. This publication builds on the 2020 report Promising Practices for Addressing the Underrepresentation of Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine to develop a comprehensive understanding of the nuanced ways these disruptions have manifested. The Impact of COVID-19 on the Careers of Women in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will inform the academic community as it emerges from the pandemic to mitigate any long-term negative consequences for the continued advancement of women in the academic STEMM workforce and build on the adaptations and opportunities that have emerged.
