It is in our national interest to support the advancement of scientific progress, national health, and general prosperity in an economy increasingly driven by scientific advancement and technological change. Colleges and universities are engaged in an ongoing process of adapting to societal changes and emerging scholarship that inform the ways we provide effective STEM learning environments. Institutional policies relating to faculty promotion and tenure can serve as incentives for faculty members to participate in activities such as outreach and public engagement, use evidence-based teaching and mentoring practices, develop and offer creative interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary coursework, create novel ways to broaden participation in science among underrepresented groups, and develop specific strategies for reflecting the principles of convergence in courses and programs.The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and host a national convocation of key scholars and stakeholders. The gathering is designed to incorporate speakers and participants that represent a wide range of STEM instructional faculty, including contingent faculty, at a range of higher education institutional types. The gathering will be planned by an ad hoc committee of the National Academies with experience and expertise in science and engineering, promotion and tenure policies and practices, and higher education research and teaching. The convocation will bring together 50-75 stakeholders to discuss the issues and research and to determine strategies for creating campus-based conversations aimed at examining new promotion and tenure policies and practices. The gathering is designed to serve as a springboard for a major National Academies consensus study of this topic starting in 2019.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.

在科学进步和技术变革日益驱动的经济中，支持科学进步、国民健康和普遍繁荣的进步符合我们的国家利益。学院和大学正在参与一个持续的过程，以适应社会变化和新兴的奖学金，为我们提供有效的STEM学习环境的方式提供信息。与教师晋升和终身教职相关的制度政策可以激励教师参与诸如外展和公众参与等活动，使用循证教学和指导实践，开发和提供创造性的跨学科或跨学科课程，创造新颖的方式来扩大代表性不足群体的科学参与，并制定具体的策略来反映课程和项目的趋同原则。美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院将组织并主办一次由主要学者和利益相关者参加的全国性会议。这次聚会的目的是将代表各种高等教育机构类型的STEM教学教师（包括临时教师）的演讲者和参与者聚集在一起。这次会议将由一个在科学和工程、晋升和终身教职政策和实践、高等教育研究和教学方面具有经验和专长的国家科学院特设委员会策划。会议将汇集50-75名利益相关者，讨论问题和研究，并确定创建以校园为基础的对话的策略，旨在研究新的晋升和终身教职政策和实践。这次会议旨在成为美国国家科学院从2019年开始对这一主题进行重大共识研究的跳板。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。
