DCL: NSF INCLUDES Conference Grant

国家科学基金会(NSF)在全国范围内纳入工程和科学领域代表性不足的发现者的学习社区(NSF包括)，积极支持模型、网络、伙伴关系和研究，以确保妇女、历史上代表性不足的种族和民族成员、社会经济地位较低的人和残疾人更广泛地参与STEM。辛辛那提大学领导了一个三州(OH，KY，IN)项目，将召开一次为期三天的会议，召集国家和地方专家，探讨在利用社会创新模式扩大对科技、经济、社会和文化权利的参与的背景下，支持骨干组织发展的最佳做法。其目的是加强参与者之间的网络，并利用辛辛那提奋斗经验的学习，在中西部和其他地区产生集体影响。未来生活的结果如下：社会变革创新峰会，将通过大辛辛那提STEM合作(GCSC和俄亥俄州STEM学习网络(OSLN)在三州地区传播。将通过非正式和正式的STEM专业组织和出版物，以及通过参加国家科学基金会开发的国家骨干组织，在全国范围内进行传播。

The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) intiative supports models, networks, partnerships and research to ensure the broadening participation in STEM of women, members of racial and ethnic groups that have been historically underrepresented, persons of low socio-economic status, and people with disabilities.The University of Cincinnati, lead for a tri-state (OH, KY, IN) project, will convene a three-day conference to convene national and local experts to explore the best practices that support the development of a backbone organization in the context of using a social innovation model for broadening participation in STEM. The intent is to strengthen the network among participants and leverage learning from the Cincinnati Strive experience with collective impact across the Midwest and beyond.Results from the NextLivesHere: Social Change Innovation Summit, will be disseminated in the tri-state region through the Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative (GCSC and the Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN). National dissemination will occur through informal and formal STEM professional organizations and publications as well as through participation in the NSF-developed national backbone organization.
