Broadening Participation through Innovations for Institutional and Educational Transformation

该奖项将资助妇女在科学协会（AWIS）进行一系列的三个年度研讨会，从先进的赠款获奖者和研究性别在科学和工程计划。这将是这两个社区首次聚集在一起。他们的研究有许多共同之处，两个小组将相互学习。共同感兴趣的领域包括：检查原因和战略，以减轻女孩和妇女在STEM中的代表性不足，使用基于理论的干预模式来纠正代表性不足，以及设计和实施对其方案影响的评估。这两个群体之间的交流将产生可供检验的更好的想法，并产生评价由此产生的战略的机制，以了解这些战略为何有效以及在何种情况下有效。预计这一系列讲习班将对对扩大参与领域感兴趣的整个研究人员群体产生广泛影响，因为会上的专题介绍和海报将张贴在AWIS网站上。此外，AWIS正在计划创新使用社交媒体，以更广泛地传播研讨会的结果。

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.
