The University of Wisconsin System and Spelman College will use this SGER award for a series of planning events to develop international networks of scientists to advance knowledge on the interactions of science and social transformation. The expertise of social and behavioral scientist in the United States and sub-Saharan Africa will be pooled to focus on social transformation as mediated through human resource development. The activities will ultimately impact the inclusion of groups now underrepresented in science and technology. Networks of scholars in the United States, South Africa, Ghana, and Uganda will examine links between policies on the advancement of the sciences and their impact in institutions of higher education. Specific institutions have been identified as partners in this research, including universities as well as national and international organizations. Planning meetings will be used to create faculty networks with the goal of further communication, exchange of ideas, and development of research priorities. This will set the stage for a second phase focusing on transforming higher education as an instrument of social change leading to greater participation in higher education.

威斯康星大学系统和斯佩尔曼学院将利用这一SGER奖进行一系列规划活动，以发展国际科学家网络，促进关于科学和社会变革相互作用的知识。美国和撒哈拉以南非洲的社会和行为科学家的专业知识将集中于通过人力资源开发实现的社会转型。这些活动最终将影响纳入目前在科学和技术领域任职人数不足的群体。美国、南非、加纳和乌干达的学者网络将研究促进科学发展的政策与其对高等教育机构的影响之间的联系。已确定特定机构为这项研究的合作伙伴，包括大学以及国家和国际组织。计划会议将被用来创建教员网络，目标是进一步沟通、交流思想和发展研究优先事项。这将为第二阶段奠定基础，重点是将高等教育转变为社会变革的工具，从而增加对高等教育的参与。
