项目摘要

This award supports the Access Network, a project aimed at substantially improving equity and inclusion in the physical sciences. Formed in 2014, Access is a national network that brings together nine programs that all leverage best practices for serving underrepresented students in Physics and other physical sciences. This award would expand the network from 9 to 15 sites and begin to scale up network activities by identifying and recruiting new sites (particularly from Minority Serving Institutions), building capacity within new sites through an "onboarding workshop", intensively mentoring new sites in their first year, maintaining existing Access Network activities to support a strong intersite-community, and planning and conducting internal and external evaluation to document successes and support sites' sustainability. These activities will enhance the capacity of the network to support both old and new sites, thus allowing the network to reach considerably more students in more effective ways.Access sites are modeled on the nationally-recognized Compass Project at UC Berkeley. Driven by a set of shared principles (e.g., student voice, authentic disciplinary engagement) and a suite of programmatic offerings (e.g., mentorship, model building courses, community events, early research opportunities), each site is tailored to the needs of its unique population, ranging from a large number of Deaf and hard of hearing students at the Rochester Institute of Technology to Black commuter students at Chicago State University. The network supports each site by providing relevant expertise, community support, mentored leadership opportunities, and a set of shared resources.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.

该奖项支持接入网络，这是一个旨在大幅改善物理科学公平和包容性的项目。Access成立于2014年，是一个全国性网络，汇集了九个项目，这些项目都利用最佳实践为物理和其他物理科学领域代表性不足的学生提供服务。该合同将使网络从9个站点扩大到15个站点，并通过确定和招募新站点，开始扩大网络活动（特别是来自少数群体服务机构），通过“入职讲习班”在新地点进行能力建设，在新地点的第一年对新地点进行密集辅导，维持现有的接入网络活动，以支持强大的地点间社区，规划和进行内部和外部评估，以记录成功并支持网站的可持续性。这些活动将提高网络支持新旧网站的能力，从而使网络能够以更有效的方式接触到更多的学生。访问网站是以加州大学伯克利分校国家认可的指南针项目为模型的。由一套共同的原则驱动（例如，学生的声音，真实的学科参与）和一套程序化的产品（例如，导师制、模型构建课程、社区活动、早期研究机会），每个网站都根据其独特人群的需求量身定制，从罗切斯特理工学院的大量聋人和重听学生到芝加哥州立大学的黑人通勤学生。该网络通过提供相关的专业知识、社区支持、指导领导机会和一系列共享资源来支持每个站点。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
