Description:	ProfessionalOpportunitiesforWomeninResearchandEducation (POWRE), the National Science Foundation (NSF) initiative designed to facilitatethecareersofindividualwomenscientistswasconceivedinthewake of the November, 1994 Republican sweep of Congress. With a thought of keeping the money for the gender-based program more secure, POWRE became a cross-directorate program funded by the research directorates. The complete four-year cohort of all POWRE awardees (1997–2000) responded to questions regarding career opportunities and challenges and laboratory climate. 389 of the population of 598 POWRE awardees (65 percent) responded to the e-mail, with the respondents being representative of the awardees with regard to discipline. The relatively large sample size and response rates coupled with lack of disciplinary bias suggested that these data might be generalized to the broader population of women scientists and engineers. Knowing and understanding the perceptions and experiences of these successful women faculty and the context available from their qualitative comments provided significant information that administrators and faculty used to develop institutional transformation strategies.
