This project addresses the need for safe and productive STEM education and research workplaces for each and every person studying and working in STEM. The project will likely result in systemic change in the geosciences and may become a model for other STEM disciplines. The focus is on the geosciences because it includes field work expectations and is one of the least diverse of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The project will develop bystander intervention workshops for department heads, chairs, and faculty to reduce incidents of sexual harassment and to properly handle it if it happens. The partners include experts from scientific and professional societies in geoscience, education, and professional development. The project team has experience leading successful professional development programs for faculty and early-career scientists. The project will transform teaching of research ethics of current and future geoscientists by addressing sexual harassment as scientific misconduct. The partnering organizations include: University of Wisconsin-Madison, Brown University, California State Los Angeles, Colorado College, University of California Merced, American Geophysical Union (AGU), Earth Science Women's Network (ESWN), and the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG). The project will generate systemic change for gender equity in the geosciences through development of tested bystander intervention workshops for department heads, chairs, and faculty to appropriately respond to, prevent, and eliminate sexual harassment. The novel contributions of the proposed activities include: 1) Designing a community-based approach to bystander intervention training for women and men academic leaders; 2) Updating curriculum for the ethical conduct of research to include sexual harassment as scientific misconduct; and 3) Incorporating geoscience-relevant scenarios into training and teaching materials, including field research and educational settings. The project aims to improve workplace climate at the institutional level, structurally, and individually. At the institution level by directly addressing academic cultures through the leadership of scientific societies and institutions. At the structural level through policies and processes that guide professional conduct and response to misconduct. At the individual level through education and empowerment of women and men with strategies for intervening in various situations of misconduct. The training material will include attention to the unique challenges faced by women with intersectional identities. The collaborations with professional STEM society partners will facilitate national dissemination, implementation, and sustainability. The model developed and tested in this project will be shared as a model for other STEM disciplines and could result in broader systemic change in the culture of STEM.The NSF ADVANCE program is designed to foster gender equity through a focus on the identification and elimination of organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of women faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in policies, processes, practices, and the organizational culture and climate.

该项目满足每个 STEM 学习和工作人员对安全、高效的 STEM 教育和研究工作场所的需求。 该项目可能会导致地球科学的系统性变革，并可能成为其他 STEM 学科的典范。 重点是地球科学，因为它包括实地工作预期，并且是科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域中最不多样化的领域之一。 该项目将为系主任、系主任和教职员工举办旁观者干预研讨会，以减少性骚扰事件，并在发生时妥善处理。 合作伙伴包括来自地球科学、教育和专业发展领域的科学和专业协会的专家。 该项目团队拥有为教师和早期职业科学家领导成功的专业发展项目的经验。 该项目将通过将性骚扰视为科学不端行为来改变当前和未来地球科学家的研究道德教学。 合作组织包括：威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校、布朗大学、加州洛杉矶分校、科罗拉多学院、加州大学默塞德分校、美国地球物理联盟（AGU）、地球科学妇女网络（ESWN）和女性地球科学家协会（AWG）。该项目将为系主任、系主任和教员举办经过测试的旁观者干预研讨会，以适当应对、预防和消除性骚扰，从而为地球科学领域的性别平等带来系统性变革。 拟议活动的新颖贡献包括： 1）设计一种基于社区的方法，为女性和男性学术领袖提供旁观者干预培训； 2）更新研究道德行为课程，将性骚扰纳入科学不端行为； 3) 将地球科学相关场景纳入培训和教材，包括实地研究和教育环境。 该项目旨在从机构层面、结构层面和个人层面改善工作场所氛围。 在机构层面，通过科学协会和机构的领导直接解决学术文化问题。 在结构层面上，通过指导专业行为和对不当行为的反应的政策和流程。 在个人层面，通过对妇女和男子进行教育和赋权，制定干预各种不当行为情况的策略。 培训材料将关注具有交叉身份的女性所面临的独特挑战。 与专业 STEM 社会合作伙伴的合作将促进国家传播、实施和可持续性。 该项目开发和测试的模型将作为其他 STEM 学科的模型进行共享，并可能导致 STEM 文化发生更广泛的系统性变化。 NSF ADVANCE 计划旨在通过重点识别和消除阻碍学术机构中女性教师充分参与和晋升的组织障碍来促进性别平等。 阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、流程、实践以及组织文化和氛围中。
