A Professional Development Workshop Series for STEM Faculty

科学与工程平等机会委员会敦促美国国家科学基金会利用其号召力，通过研讨会和在线资源影响其不断扩大的参与组合。计划中的STEM专业发展研讨会系列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，将解决两个日益扩大的参与挑战：领导职位上缺乏多样化的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。该项目旨在通过会议实施最先进的专业发展方法，将领导力发展、奖学金、联盟建设和专业/个人健康结合起来，对扩大参与产生系统性影响。讲习班系列将包括三个主要会议：领导力学院，旨在通过前沿的面对面和虚拟的文化响应型领导力发展机会，提高STEM女性有色人种教师的领导力自我效能感；作者发展研究所，设计为为期四天的密集面对面培训，并提供为期一年的后续支持，以增加STEM女性有色人种教师对STEM改革话语的学术贡献；领导者健康工作坊，设计为为期两天的顶点体验，优先考虑健康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有色人种女性在STEM学术领导职位上持续存在的差异带来了巨大的希望。该项目将提供领导力研究的研究生证书，并为有色人种女性增加STEM领导力/改革出版物的提交和成功率提供更多机会。该项目将培养一批STEM学术领袖，他们被授权领导扩大参与的努力，并在国家层面应对多样性挑战。该项目由生物科学理事会（BIO）、地球科学理事会（GEO）、综合活动办公室（OIA）和教育与人力资源理事会（EHR）共同资助，并得到了NSF研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP）计划的大力支持。其目标是增加STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的少数族裔教师的数量，以及历史上的黑人学院和大学本科项目（HBCU-UP），该项目旨在加强hbcu的STEM教育和研究。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。

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.
