PGE/PLN -- Coupling Assessment with Organizational Change Strategies: A Fresh Approach to Promoting Gender & Racial Diversity in Undergrad. Physical & Comp. Science & E

国家妇女研究委员会（NCRW）提出了一个为期12个月的计划项目，设计一个多地点的三年项目，旨在改善在选定的物理和计算机科学部门以及工程学科中招收和留住本科女学生的情况。更大的项目将重点关注有色人种的女学生，她们在这些领域的代表性严重不足。鉴于技术正在改变世界经济的各个部门，以及为扩大知识和能力而对科学和技术专门知识的需求日益增加，本项目所涵盖的领域都是机会日益增加的领域。NCRW将利用其95个成员中心和特定的SMET部门，这些部门代表了广泛的种族和民族多样性，为这种方法提供了机构支持的基础。其目标将是通过与妇女研究中心的合作，开发新的方法来评估环境，并在特定的SMET机构和/或部门实施变革战略，其方法将侧重于由项目的合作伙伴在每个校园制定评估协议和变革战略。创新的重点是：种族、性别的交叉点；评估工具和各种本科环境的制度变革；以及跨校园变革的伙伴关系。该项目将以NCRW最近的报告《平衡等式：妇女和女孩在科学、工程和技术中的位置》的发现和建议为基础。由NCRW主办的圆桌会议和会议，以及其从事与科学中的妇女和女孩有关问题的工作的中心的工作。

The National Council for Research on Women (NCRW) proposes a 12-month planning project to design a multi-site three-year project aimed at improving the recruitment and retention of undergraduate women students in selected physical and computer science departments, and engineering disciplines. The larger project will focus on women students of color, who are severely under-represented in these fields. The fields that will be encompassed in this project are all areas in which there are increasing opportunities, given the ways technology is transforming whole sectors of the world economy and increasing demands for scientific and technological expertise to extend knowledge and capacity.NCRW will draw on its 95 member centers, and specific SMET departments representative of a wide range of racial and ethnic diversity, where a base of institutional support for such an approach is present. Its aim will be to develop fresh approaches to assessing environments and implementing strategies for change in specific SMET institutions and/or departments through partnerships with women's research centers, and its methodology will focus on the development of assessment protocols and change strategies by the project's partners on each campus.The innovative emphases are: intersections of race, gender; assessment tools and institutional change across a wide range of undergraduatel environments; and partnerships for change across campuses. This project will build on the findings and recommendations of the recent NCRW report Balancing the Equation: Where are Women and Girls in Science, Engineering and Technology?, roundtables and convenings sponsored by NCRW, and on the work of its centers engaged in work on issues related to women and girls in the sciences.
