This extension service project involves extending and focusing a collaborative model of networking girl-serving projects, organizations and institutions, in order to increase their capacity for continuation of activities and/or reaching a broader community. Collaboration, as an interactive process, enables professionals across projects and communities to generate and carry out creative solutions and strategies that maximize benefit beyond that which one project or community could accomplish alone. It is the intent of the expanded National Girls Collaborative Project to disseminate research-based best practices in informal learning environments and assessments and evaluation that would further advance the work of existing and evolving girl-serving projects and provide a forum to share results. The goals of this extension project are to:1. Maximize access to shared resources within projects and with public and private sector organizations and institutions interested in expanding girls' participation in STEM.2. Strengthen capacity of existing and evolving projects by sharing best practice research and program models, outcomes and products.3. Use the leverage of a network or collaboration of individual girl-serving STEM programs to create the tipping point for gender equity in STEM.The intellectual merit of this project lies in the use of the collaborative model to deliver research-based best practices to practitioners as well as the creation of a system for communicating implementation data to create a dialogue among practitioners and between researchers and practitioners.The broader impact of this project is demonstrated by the combination of networks, organizations, educational institutions and community-based organizations engaging in structured activities designed to increase organizational capacity. Although there have been hundreds of girl-serving STEM projects and targeted strategies to close the gender gap in STEM, we may have not yet reached the tipping point that transforms these individual efforts into systemic, nation-wide change.

这一推广服务项目涉及扩大和集中一种为女孩服务的项目、组织和机构联网的合作模式，以提高它们继续开展活动和/或接触更广泛社区的能力。协作作为一个互动过程，使跨项目和社区的专业人员能够产生和执行创造性的解决方案和战略，使利益最大化，超出一个项目或社区可以单独完成的范围。扩大的全国女童合作项目旨在传播非正式学习环境中基于研究的最佳做法以及评估和评价，这将进一步推动现有和不断发展的为女童服务项目的工作，并提供一个分享成果的论坛。本推广项目的目标是：1。最大限度地利用项目内以及与有意扩大女孩参与科学、技术、工程和数学领域的公共和私营部门组织和机构共享的资源。通过分享最佳实践研究和项目模式、成果和产品，加强现有和发展中项目的能力。利用网络的杠杆作用或个别女孩服务STEM计划的合作，创造STEM性别平等的临界点。该项目的智力价值在于使用合作模式来提供研究-为执行人员提供基于最佳做法的信息，并建立一个交流执行数据的系统，以便在执行人员之间以及研究人员与执行人员之间开展对话。这一项目体现在网络、组织、教育机构和社区组织共同参与旨在提高组织能力的结构化活动。尽管已经有数百个为女孩服务的STEM项目和有针对性的战略来缩小STEM中的性别差距，但我们可能还没有达到将这些个人努力转化为系统性的全国性变革的临界点。
