NSF INCLUDES Coordination Hub

NSF INCLUDES是一项全国性的倡议，致力于让美国所有的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）人才充分参与美国的发现和创新。通过积极地在全国范围内寻找和有效地培养人才，包括在服务不足的人群中，NSF INCLUDES项目肯定了NSF对多样性、包容性和扩大STEM参与的承诺。NSF INCLUDES倡议正在促进致力于这一共同议程的不同团体之间的合作，其目标是改善国家协调、共享知识和最大限度地发挥影响。NSF INCLUDES协调中心将通过建立和维持一个国家网络来领导国家协调，以扩大STEM的参与，包括但不限于由NSF INCLUDES计划资助的项目。该中心将通过促进成员之间的交流来加强网络；在相关工作之间建立联系；提供专业学习，发展广泛的领导联盟；制定协调一致的国家级战略。该中心还将通过开发共享测量方法和汇总数据分析，支持对网络成员实现目标的进展进行协调测量。通过学术期刊和会议、专业协会会员、贸易出版物和大众媒体广泛分享网络的成果，该中心将提高NSF INCLUDES计划的知名度和影响力。此外，该中心还将通过扩大参与、网络分析和组织变革等角度，在对网络的研究基础上，开发和分享见解。协调中心的活动旨在建立公众意愿，推进政策，并在整个网络中调动资金。该中心本身是一个多机构联盟。SRI的合作伙伴包括教育发展中心（EDC）、Westat公司、少数民族素质教育网络（QEM）、Equal Measure、佐治亚理工学院计算公平星座中心和全球数字承诺。ORS Impact将作为该中心的外部评估机构。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

NSF INCLUDES is a national initiative focused on the full participation of all of America's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent in discoveries and innovation in the U.S. By proactively seeking and effectively developing talent nationally, including among those in underserved populations, NSF INCLUDES projects affirm NSF's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in STEM. The NSF INCLUDES initiative is promoting collaboration among different groups committed to this common agenda with the goal of improving national coordination, sharing knowledge, and maximizing impact.The NSF INCLUDES Coordination Hub will lead national coordination by building and sustaining a national Network among efforts to broaden participation in STEM, including but not limited to those funded by the NSF INCLUDES initiative. The Hub will strengthen the Network by fostering exchange among members; brokering connections among related efforts; offering professional learning to develop a broad leadership coalition; and devising coordinated, national-level strategy. The Hub will also support coordinated measurement of progress towards Network members' goals by developing shared measurement approaches and aggregated data analyses. By sharing the Network's results broadly, via academic journals and conferences, professional associations memberships, trade publications, and the popular press, the Hub will raise the visibility and impact of the NSF INCLUDES initiative. In addition, the Hub will develop and share insights based on its study of the Network, through the lenses of broadening participation, network analysis, and organizational change. Together, the Coordination Hub's activities aim to build public will, advance policy, and mobilize funding across the Network.The Hub itself is a multi-institutional coalition. SRI's partners are Education Development Center (EDC), Westat Inc., Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network, Equal Measure, the Constellations Center for Equity in Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Digital Promise Global. ORS Impact will serve as the Hub's external evaluator.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.
