The Committee on Equal Opportunities in Sciences and Engineering has urged the National Science Foundation to utilize its convening power to impact its broadening participation portfolio through workshops and online resources. The planned STEM professional development workshop series led by the Fielding Graduate University in partnership with Historically Black Colleges and Universities will address two broadening participation challenges: the lack of diverse STEM faculty in leadership positions and the dearth of culturally relevant leadership development opportunities and resources that can support women faculty of color. The project aims to implement a state-of-the-art professional development approach through convenings that integrate leadership development, scholarship, coalition building and professional/personal wellness to have a systemic impact on broadening participation. The workshop series will consist of three major convenings: 1. Leadership Academy, designed to increase leadership self-efficacy of STEM women faculty of color through cutting-edge in-person and virtual culturally-responsive leadership development opportunities, 2. Author Development Institute, designed as a four-day intensive, in-person training with year-long follow-up support to increase the scholarly contributions of STEM women faculty of color to the STEM reform discourse, and 3. Leader Wellness Workshop, designed as a two-day capstone experience that prioritizes well-being as an essential component for effective leadership development and advancement. The work of this project holds great promise for addressing the persisting disparities related to women of color in academic leadership positions in STEM. This project will offer a postgraduate certificate in leadership studies and enrich opportunities for increasing the submission and success rates of STEM leadership/reform publications by women of color. This project will develop a cadre of academic STEM leaders who have been empowered to lead broadening participation efforts and address diversity challenges at a national level.This project is co-funded by the Directorate of Biological Sciences (BIO), the Directorate of Geosciences (GEO), the Office of Integrative Activities (OIA), and the Directorate of Education and Human Resources (EHR) with significant support from the NSF's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program, which targets increasing the number of historically underrepresented minority faculty in STEM disciplines and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), which enhances STEM education and research at HBCUs.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.

科学和工程机会均等委员会敦促国家科学基金会利用其召集能力，通过讲习班和在线资源影响其扩大的参与组合。由菲尔丁研究生大学与历史上的黑人学院和大学合作领导的计划中的STEM专业发展研讨会系列将解决两个不断扩大的参与挑战：领导职位缺乏多样化的STEM教师，以及缺乏与文化相关的领导力发展机会和资源，可以支持有色人种的女性教师。该项目旨在通过召集会议，将领导能力发展、奖学金、联盟建设和专业/个人健康结合起来，实施最先进的专业发展办法，对扩大参与产生系统性影响。研讨会系列将包括三个主要会议：1。领导学院，旨在通过尖端的人和虚拟的文化响应领导力发展机会，提高STEM女性有色人种教师的领导自我效能。作者发展研究所，旨在作为一个为期四天的密集，面对面的培训与长达一年的后续支持，以增加色干女教师的学术贡献干改革话语，和3。领导者健康研讨会，旨在作为一个为期两天的顶点经验，优先考虑福祉作为有效的领导力发展和进步的重要组成部分。该项目的工作为解决与有色人种女性在STEM学术领导职位上持续存在的差距带来了巨大希望。该项目将提供领导力研究的研究生证书，并丰富有色人种妇女提高STEM领导力/改革出版物的提交率和成功率的机会。该项目将培养一批学术STEM领导者，他们有权领导扩大参与努力，并在国家层面应对多样性挑战。该项目由生物科学局（BIO），地球科学局（GEO），综合活动办公室（OIA），以及教育和人力资源局（EHR），并得到了NSF研究生教育联盟和教授职位（AGEP）计划的大力支持，其目标是增加STEM学科和历史上黑人学院和大学本科生项目（HBCU-UP）中历史上代表性不足的少数民族教师的数量，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智力价值和更广泛的评估来支持。影响审查标准。
