About the CareerWISE Project
The CareerWISE project is an NSF-funded, interdisciplinary research and development program housed at Arizona State University. The CareerWISE project has two major thrusts with the goal of increasing women’s persistence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) doctoral programs. These are the development and testing of internet-delivered resilience training and a comprehensive research program to characterize the experiences of women who are pursuing and leaving PhD programs in STEM disciplines.
