DCL: NSF INCLUDES: Accelerating Data-Driven Collaboration for Large-Scale Progress

该奖项支持一个名为“加速数据驱动的大规模合作”的会议，该会议将支持INCLUDES（在工程和科学多样性方面代表性不足的全国学习者社区的包容性）启动试点的进展，以实现其扩大参与目标。影响有色人种学生、低收入家庭学生、女性学生和残疾学生在STEM学习中坚持不懈的问题和挑战，超出了旨在提高STEM职业选择意识的项目的范围。发射试点将需要技术援助来利用他们的战略计划，为成为联盟的下一个阶段做好准备，并最终显示出导致大规模进展的影响。会议将通过提供以下机会来支持启动试点扩大参与目标：(1)开发创新的新方法来收集数据并做出基于证据的决策，(2)与数据驱动协作前沿的最佳实践相联系，以及(3)将新知识和创新应用于满足社会需求的项目。数据驱动协作的总体设计是以协作和参与的方式促进思想、斗争和有前途的实践的共享。这将通过培养网络改进社区（在发射试点内部和跨试点），通过协作建模让参与者参与系统思考和解决问题，以及为期2.5天的公共支持和参与实验室会议来实现。在2016年11月至2017年4月期间，获得数据驱动协作支持的启动试点将获得各种技术援助服务。

This award supports a conference entitled "Accelerating Data-Driven Collaboration for Large-Scale Progress" which will support the progress of INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners that have been Underrepresented for Diversity in Engineering and Science) Launch Pilots toward their broadening participation goals. The issues and challenges affecting the persistence of students of color, students from low-income households, females, and students with disabilities in STEM learning surpass the scope of programs designed to promote awareness of STEM career options. The Launch Pilots will need technical assistance to leverage their strategic plans, become poised for the next level of becoming an Alliance, and ultimately show impact that results in large-scale progress.The conference will support the Launch Pilots in their broadening participation goals by providing opportunities to (1) develop innovative new ways to gather data and make evidence-based decisions, (2) connect with best practices on the frontiers of data-driven collaboration, and (3) apply new knowledge and innovations to their projects that address societal needs. The overarching design of Data-Driven Collaboration is to facilitate the sharing of ideas, struggles, and promising practices in a collaborative and participatory manner. This will occur by fostering a network improvement community (within and across Launch Pilots), engaging participants in systems thinking and problem-solving through collaborative modeling, and a 2.5-day Public Support and Engagement Lab conference. Launch Pilots who engage support from Data-Driven Collaboration will have a variety of technical assistance services available between November 2016 and April 2017.
