AAAS will conduct a one-year project that builds on over five years of work exploring how federal and state law and policy impact the operation of programs designed to support underrepresented faculty and students on university campuses. Intellectual Merit. Having undertaken the work of identifying worthy and legally defensible initiatives, there is additional intrinsic intellectual merit in making this guidance relevant to a broader array of institutions and situations where legal precedent may apply differently. AAAS will reach various segments of higher education through two workshops?in partnership with five endorsing higher education organizations. These technical assistance workshops will bridge federal law to institutional practice for general counsels, academic leaders, and program administrators.Broader Impacts. The project focus is how to strengthen the U.S. STEM work force by increasing participation by disadvantaged and underrepresented groups in STEM education and careers. Different bodies of law apply to faculty search, hiring, and advancement (in the workplace) and to student access, support, and success. The project addresses both, with real examples of programs and practices that are research and evaluation-based. Supplementary materials on, e.g., community colleges plus in-depth legal analysis and program guidelines created in the previous phase of the project, will also be produced. The NSF performer community, and higher education institutions more generally, are the targeted audience for these media.

美国科学促进会将开展一个为期一年的项目，该项目建立在五年多的工作基础上，探索联邦和州法律和政策如何影响旨在支持大学校园中代表性不足的教师和学生的项目的运作。知识价值。在进行了确定有价值和在法律上可辩护的倡议的工作之后，使这一指导与法律先例可能不同适用的更广泛的机构和情况相关，还有额外的内在智力价值。美国科学促进会将通过两场研讨会触及高等教育的各个领域？与五个认可的高等教育机构合作。这些技术援助研讨会将为一般法律顾问、学术领袖和项目管理人员架起联邦法律与机构实践的桥梁。更广泛的影响。该项目的重点是如何通过增加弱势群体和代表性不足群体在STEM教育和职业中的参与来加强美国的STEM劳动力。不同的法律体系适用于教师的搜索、招聘和晋升（在工作场所），以及学生的接触、支持和成功。该项目以研究和评估为基础的项目和实践的真实例子解决了这两个问题。还将编写关于社区学院、深入的法律分析和项目前一阶段制定的方案指南等补充材料。NSF表演者社区，以及更普遍的高等教育机构，是这些媒体的目标受众。
