DCL: NSF INCLUDES: Informing the Design of the INCLUDES Alliances and National Network: An Intersectionality Approach

该奖项支持国家平等教育基金会伙伴关系联盟，FSG，白杨研究所，集体影响论坛，100 Kin10，国家女孩合作项目，妇女在工程积极网络，MentorNet，明尼苏达科学博物馆，不断变化的社区，国家GEM联盟，美国工程教育协会和教育发展中心实施了一个项目，以告知国家科学基金会（NSF）的设计在工程和科学（包括）倡议的代表性不足的发现者的学习者社区的全国包容性。 NSF INCLUDES计划支持模型，网络，伙伴关系和研究，以确保扩大妇女，历史上代表性不足的种族和族裔群体成员，社会经济地位低下的人和残疾人参与STEM。本次会议的目的是告知所需结构和支持的最关键设计特征，以便NSF INCLUDES联盟小型骨干和国家骨干能够有效工作，并建立改造STEM生态系统的能力。本次会议将汇集组织间合作中最合格的当前专家，科学、技术、工程和数学领域的交叉性和扩大参与，将他们的集体智慧应用于国家科学基金会包括联盟和国家网络的支持结构的设计。将对复杂性理论、适应性领导、交叉性和协作模式的理解应用于扩大STEM参与领域，有可能破坏当前的系统，足以建立创建有影响力的联盟的能力。 本次会议的成果有可能为所有致力于扩大STEM影响力的组织以及那些将组织间合作应用于社会创新领域的组织提供知识。利用交叉性作为一个透镜，发展更有效的协作努力，以适应组织伙伴及其所服务的社区的情况，可以为这一领域增加一个关键因素。组委会的不同成员可以将这项工作的结果传播到多个网络，这些结果可以影响组织间合作的实践和扩大STEM的参与。

This award supports the collaborative efforts of the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity Education Foundation, FSG, the Aspen Institute, the Collective Impact Forum, 100Kin10, National Girls Collaborative Project, Women in Engineering Pro-Active Network, MentorNet, Science Museum of Minnesota, Changing Communities, National GEM Consortium, American Society for Engineering Education and the Education Development Center to implement a project to inform the design of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Inclusion across the National of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science(INCLUDES)Initiative. The NSF INCLUDES program 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 purpose of this conference is to inform the most critical design features of the structures and supports needed so that the NSF INCLUDES Alliance mini-backbones and the National backbone can work effectively and build the capacity to transform the STEM ecosystem.This conference will bring together the most qualified current experts in inter-organizational collaboration, intersectionality and broadening participation in STEM to apply their collective wisdom to the design of the support structures of the NSF INCLUDES Alliances and National Network. Applying the understanding of complexity theory, adaptive leadership, intersectionality and collaboration models to the field of broadening participation in STEM has the potential to disrupt the current system enough to build capacity to create impactful Alliances. The outcomes of this convening have the potential to advance knowledge for all organizations working to broaden impact in STEM as well as those applying inter-organizational collaboration to the field of social innovation. Using intersectionality as a lens in developing more effective collaborative efforts that are responsive to the organizational partners and the context of the communities they serve can add a critical element to this field. The diverse members of the organizing committee can disseminate the results of this work to multiple networks where the results can impact the practice of inter-organizational collaboration and broadening participation in STEM.
