The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is creating, implementing and evaluating a forum for the NSF INCLUDES broadening participation community of practice and for engaging the NSF INCLUDES awardees and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) researchers across the nation to expand the NSF INCLUDES broadening participation network. The NSF INCLUDES program is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in STEM discoveries and innovations focused on NSF's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in these fields.The NSF INCLUDES Open Forum will use the AAAS Trellis networking platform and the organization's experience engaging communities of practice focused on broadening participation, STEM education and STEM research. The project builds on the success of a prior NSF INCLUDES Conference award (HRD-1650509) that was addressing goals to define networking needs of the first round of NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilots (DDLP); to develop design specifications for NSF INCLUDES networking, curating of resources, and supporting communities of practice; and to propose tools, techniques, capacities and functionalities for an NSF INCLUDES national network. The NSF INCLUDES Open Forum project includes advisory board members with expertise in networking platforms and others with broadening participation knowledge and experience. A yearly conference for NSF INCLUDES awardees will offer participants an opportunity to learn about how Trellis platform upgrades, functionality and technology options (e.g., a smartphone application) can be used in new ways to engage a broader community of partners interested in broadening participation in STEM research and education contexts. An external evaluator will assess the activities and outcomes of the NSF INCLUDES Open Forum both during implementation and at project end. The PIs will also communicate the outcomes of the project to broader audiences, both academic and non-academic, and encourage a dialogue within the NSF INCLUDES community about the use of technology for organization and communication within a network.

美国科学促进会（AAAS）正在为NSF INCLUDES扩大参与实践社区创建，实施和评估一个论坛，并让全国各地的NSF INCLUDES获奖者和科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）研究人员参与，以扩大NSF INCLUDES扩大参与网络。 NSF INCLUDES计划是一项综合性的国家计划，旨在加强美国在STEM发现和创新方面的领导地位，重点关注NSF对这些领域的多样性，包容性和扩大参与的承诺。NSF INCLUDES开放论坛将使用AAAS Trellis网络平台和该组织的经验，吸引专注于扩大参与，STEM教育和STEM研究的实践社区。 该项目建立在先前NSF INCLUDES会议奖的成功基础上（HRD-1650509），旨在确定NSF INCLUDES设计和开发启动试点（DDLP）第一轮的网络需求;为NSF INCLUDES网络制定设计规范，管理资源，并支持实践社区;并为NSF INCLUDES国家网络提出工具、技术、能力和功能。 NSF INCLUDES开放论坛项目包括具有网络平台专业知识的咨询委员会成员和具有广泛参与知识和经验的其他成员。 NSF INCLUDES获奖者的年度会议将为与会者提供一个机会，了解网格平台如何升级，功能和技术选项（例如，智能手机应用程序）可以以新的方式使用，以吸引更广泛的合作伙伴社区有兴趣扩大参与STEM研究和教育背景。 一名外部评估员将在实施期间和项目结束时评估NSF INCLUDES开放论坛的活动和成果。PI还将向更广泛的学术和非学术受众传达该项目的成果，并鼓励NSF INCLUDES社区内就网络内组织和通信技术的使用进行对话。
