Astronomy has been making strides in increasing the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups. Several recommendations and strategies for broadening participation, especially of women in astronomy, have arisen from conferences dedicated to the subject. The "Inclusive Astronomy" conference and workshop will be held in June 2015 at Vanderbilt University. The focus of the workshop is on providing resources and advocating for inclusion of astronomers who identify with more than one underrepresented category, e.g. gender, race, disability, etc. The conference will cover topics including barriers to access; creating inclusive climates; inclusion and access to leadership, power, and decision making; and establishing a community of inclusive practice. The discussions will result in the astronomical community being better informed of research on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and in a set of recommendations that administrators, faculty, and the research community can use as a roadmap to improve the participation of all in astronomy. This award supports the conference travel and subsistence of a total of about 30 students and early-career researchers who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

天文学在增加传统上代表性不足的群体的参与方面取得了长足的进步。专门讨论这一主题的会议提出了一些扩大参与，特别是妇女参与天文学的建议和战略。“包容性天文学”会议和讲习班将于2015年6月在范德比尔特大学举行。研讨会的重点是提供资源和倡导纳入天文学家谁认同一个以上的代表性不足的类别，如性别，种族，残疾等会议将涵盖的主题，包括障碍获取;创造包容性的气候;包容性和获得领导，权力和决策;和建立一个社区的包容性实践。这些讨论将使天文学界更好地了解多样性、公平性和包容性的研究，并提出一系列建议，供管理人员、教师和研究界作为提高所有人参与天文学的路线图。该奖项支持约30名学生和早期职业研究人员的会议旅行和生活费，否则他们将无法参加会议。
