This is a proposal for a workshop that will focus on empirical research related to the representation and participation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The aim of the workshop is to bring together a broad array of researchers whose work informs a Science of Broadening Participation. Knowledge that is derived from a Science of Broadening Participation can further our understanding of what does and does not work to increase the scientific talent pool. A Science of Broadening Participation would employ a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to answer research questions related to issues of access, opportunity and inclusion in STEM fields. Fundamentally, it would address important questions that deal with the inequitable distribution of educational and economic opportunities, and demonstrate the ways in which this inequity impacts the achievement of women and underrepresented minorities. The Workshop will include a small group of 25-30 distinguished scientists working in the science of broadening participation across the fields represented within the Social, Behavioral and Economic (SBE) sciences as well as a few scientists from other areas engaged in the work of broadening participation in STEM. The 2-day workshop will take place at the National Science Foundation, June 23-24, 2008.

这是一个研讨会的建议，该研讨会将重点关注与妇女、少数民族和残疾人在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的代表性和参与有关的实证研究。研讨会的目的是汇集广泛的研究人员，他们的工作为扩大参与的科学提供信息。从“拓宽参与的科学”中获得的知识可以让我们进一步了解什么对增加科学人才库有效，什么对增加科学人才库无效。扩大参与的科学将采用各种理论和方法方法来回答与STEM领域的准入、机会和包容问题相关的研究问题。从根本上说，它将处理有关教育和经济机会分配不公平的重要问题，并表明这种不平等如何影响妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的成就。研讨会将包括一个由25-30名杰出科学家组成的小组，他们致力于扩大社会、行为和经济（SBE）科学所代表的各个领域的参与，以及来自其他领域的一些科学家，他们致力于扩大STEM的参与。为期两天的研讨会将于2008年6月23日至24日在美国国家科学基金会举行。
