As it stands now, when we do a search or we're asked to put women on a scientific council at the NIH, the women in each institute have to come up quickly, sometimes by the end of that day, with a list of 1215 women who could serve on these search committees and boards of scientific counselors. It's imperative for us to consider in our action plan compiling a list of women scientists nationally and internationally, so that not only the women but also people working in the administrative areas can have access to a list of women scientists who would be willing to serve on these important positions that lead to our attaining senior leadership roles.
