The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

At the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), the Committee on Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine (CWSEM) coordinates, monitors, and advocates action to increase the participation of women in science and engineering. The committee collects and disseminates information on the education and employment of women scientists and engineers, and recommends ways to enhance women’s advancement in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. Established in 1990 as CWSE, the committee expanded its scope in 2007 to include medicine.
