This project is conducting research that is applying the collective impact framework to examine specific components of a multi-organizational partnership, with emphasis on the backbone infrastructure and functionality of the collaboration. The multi-organizational partnership, which is focused on broadening the participation of minority teenage girls in STEM, involves K-12 schools, colleges and universities, industry, and STEM research organizations. An important contribution of the proposed research is to understand how this multi-organizational partnership functions without a traditional backbone organization. There are five research questions: (1) What key features (roles, relationship types, individual attributes) within and between organizations make the collaboration successful? (2) To what extent does this collaboration satisfy the five defining criteria of collaborative impact strategies? (3) What components of the organizational network within the partnership serve as backbone support? (4) How was the backbone developed and sustained over time in tandem with other collective impact elements? (5) To what extent are the features of the backbone replicable and scalable to other collaborations between universities and STEM-focused community organizations? This research was created in response to the NSF INCLUDES Dear Colleague Letter: Announcement of an Effort to Expand the NSF INCLUDES National Network (NSF 17-111). The DCL states that EAGER Proposals should produce findings and results that will generate new insights for the NSF INCLUDES National Network, suggest potential strategies for engaging NSF's existing broadening participation activities in the Network and/or highlight lessons learned that could inform the NSF INCLUDES Launch Pilots and Alliances as they develop. The NSF INCLUDES program focuses on catalyzing the STEM enterprise to collaboratively work for inclusive change.The research findings that are being generated from this project inform the collective impact framework for STEM broadening participation networks, and it will inform researchers, educators, families and industry about how to advance broadening participation efforts for inclusive STEM education, research and workforce development. Together with other NSF INCLUDES Network activities, this research is contributing to positive, transformative change within the U.S. STEM workforce and research community.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.

该项目正在进行研究，运用集体影响框架审查多组织伙伴关系的具体组成部分，重点是协作的骨干基础设施和功能。多组织合作伙伴关系的重点是扩大少数民族少女在STEM中的参与，涉及K-12学校，学院和大学，行业和STEM研究组织。 拟议的研究的一个重要贡献是了解如何这种多组织的伙伴关系的功能，没有传统的骨干组织。 研究问题有五个：（1）组织内部和组织之间的哪些关键特征（角色、关系类型、个人属性）使合作成功？ (2)这种合作在多大程度上满足了合作影响战略的五个定义标准？ (3)伙伴关系内组织网络的哪些组成部分可作为骨干支持？ (4)主干是如何与其他集体影响要素一起随着时间的推移而发展和维持的？ (5)主干网的功能在多大程度上可以复制和扩展到大学和以STEM为重点的社区组织之间的其他合作？这项研究是为了响应NSF INCLUDES亲爱的同事信：宣布努力扩大NSF INCLUDES国家网络（NSF 17-111）而创建的。 DCL指出，EAGER提案应产生调查结果和结果，为NSF INCLUDES国家网络产生新的见解，建议潜在的战略，使NSF现有的扩大参与活动参与网络和/或突出经验教训，可以告知NSF INCLUDES发射试点和联盟，因为它们的发展。 NSF INCLUDES项目致力于促进STEM企业合作实现包容性变革。该项目产生的研究成果为STEM扩大参与网络的集体影响框架提供了信息，并将为研究人员、教育工作者、家庭和行业提供有关如何推进包容性STEM教育、研究和劳动力发展的扩大参与努力的信息。 与其他NSF INCLUDES网络活动一起，该研究为美国STEM劳动力和研究社区的积极变革做出了贡献。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。
