This award will support a two-day workshop at The Pennsylvania State University, which will bring together a multidisciplinary group of scholars to improve understanding of how the places people live in influence their social, emotional, and cognitive development. Scientific evidence has documented how neighborhoods and other "activity spaces"--such as schools, workplaces, and social institutions--influence development. The aim of this workshop is to use this evidence to help build a comprehensive, place-based science. Broadly speaking, a place-based science of lifespan development will recognize that different residential neighborhoods and activity spaces might expose children, youth, and families to different resources and risks. These differences have important implications for development. In addition, there is a critical need to incorporate transdisciplinary perspectives on race, ethnicity, and culture to advance a place-based science that is relevant and meaningful for an increasingly diverse U.S. society. This workshop will enhance the theoretical and conceptual frameworks that will support future place-based research on development across the lifespan. Such research can address important societal issues related to segregation, inequality, and positive development.This workshop will allow a group of scholars to work together to (1) integrate existing theoretical foundations of neighborhood and activity space research and (2) critically analyze how these theoretical foundations can incorporate scientific evidence that has documented racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity in developmental processes across the lifespan. Additionally, workshop participants will advance a set of recommendations on innovative, dynamic, multi-level approaches that reflect theoretical and conceptual advances made in the workshop. Finally, the participants will address long-term methodological challenges in neighborhood and activity space research. The activities during the workshop will culminate with a set of research questions and suggested approaches that will establish the next decade's research agenda.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持在宾夕法尼亚州立大学为期两天的研讨会，这将汇集一个多学科的学者小组，以提高人们生活的地方如何影响他们的社会，情感和认知发展的理解。 科学证据已经证明了社区和其他“活动空间”（如学校、工作场所和社会机构）如何影响发展。本次研讨会的目的是利用这些证据来帮助建立一个全面的，以地方为基础的科学。从广义上讲，基于地点的寿命发展科学将认识到，不同的住宅区和活动空间可能会使儿童、青少年和家庭面临不同的资源和风险。这些差异对发展具有重要影响。此外，还迫切需要将种族，民族和文化的跨学科观点纳入其中，以推进对日益多元化的美国社会具有相关性和意义的基于地点的科学。该研讨会将加强理论和概念框架，以支持未来关于整个生命周期发展的基于地点的研究。这样的研究可以解决与隔离，不平等和积极发展相关的重要社会问题。这个研讨会将允许一群学者共同努力（1）整合现有的邻里和活动空间研究的理论基础，（2）批判性地分析这些理论基础如何结合记录种族，民族，和文化多样性在整个生命周期的发展过程中。此外，研讨会与会者将提出一套关于创新、动态、多层次办法的建议，这些办法反映了研讨会在理论和概念方面取得的进展。最后，与会者将解决邻里和活动空间研究的长期方法挑战。研讨会期间的活动将以一系列研究问题和建议的方法结束，这些问题和方法将建立下一个十年的研究议程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
