Broadening Participation through Innovations for Institutional and Educational Transformation

这一奖项将资助科学女性协会(AWIS)为科学和工程性别问题高级研究计划的获奖者举办一系列三个年度研讨会。这将是这两个社区第一次走到一起。他们的研究有很多共同点，这两个小组将相互学习很多东西。感兴趣的重叠领域包括：审查女孩和妇女在STEM中任职人数偏低的原因和战略，使用以理论为基础的干预模式纠正任职人数偏低问题，以及设计和开展对其方案影响的评估。两个社区之间的相互促进将产生更好的想法，可以进行测试，并产生评估由此产生的战略的机制，以了解它们为什么有效以及在什么情况下有效。这一系列讲习班预计将对对扩大参与感兴趣的整个研究人员社区产生广泛影响，因为在会议上介绍的情况和海报会议将张贴在AWIS网站上。此外，AWIS正计划创新社交媒体的使用，以更广泛地传播研讨会成果。

This award will fund the Association of Women in Science (AWIS) to conduct a series of three annual workshops for grant awardees from the ADVANCE and Research on Gender in Science and Engineering programs. This will be the first time these two communities will be brought together. Their research has much in common and the two groups will learn much from each other. Overlapping areas of interest include: examination of the causes and strategies to alleviate under-representation of girls and women in STEM, the use of theory-based intervention models to redress under-representation, and the design and carrying out of evaluation of the impact of their programs. The cross-fertilization between the two communities will generate better ideas that can be tested, and mechanisms to evaluate the resulting strategies to learn why they are effective and in what context. This series of workshops is expected to have a broad impact on the entire community of researchers interested in the field of broadening participation, as presentations and poster sessions presented at the meeting will be posted on the AWIS website. In addition, AWIS is planning to innovate the use of social media to more broadly disseminate workshop findings.
