I. Field-based investigation is an integral part of the ongoing research programs at both national and international universities, largely in the STEM fields and in the earth sciences in particular. As a result, research teams and individuals are placed in a diverse set of field situations. Both organized studies and anecdotal reports suggest that a variety of harassment behaviors, whether sexual in nature or based on gender, race, ethnicity or ability, are a significant problem in field campaigns. A 2013 survey of field scientists from 32 disciplines from the science and social science arenas determined that these behaviors tend to be directed from the top of the power structure to more junior colleagues. A subsequent study on fieldwork experiences concluded that a lack of clarity regarding standards of conduct and rules for behavior in field research and training resulting in greater incidence of harassment. These studies also revealed that the majority of people experiencing harassment in the field did not know how or to whom to report, illustrating the need for clear guidelines. Here we propose to develop a field-team focused culture and risk management workshop program designed to foster skills and tools that will improve research ethics, create safer field working environments across demographics, and prevent future harassment.II. The goal of this workshop proposal is to design, implement and evaluate a fieldwork-oriented culture building workshop program aimed at reducing harassment by promoting a respectful, equitable, and discrimination-free environment. This training will focus on the development of knowledge and interpersonal skills to prevent harassment and de-escalate situations in isolated field environments, including exercises designed to improve team culture and interpersonal communication and to foster shared experiences; the establishment of mutually-acceptable guidelines and standards appropriate to fieldwork for the specific subdiscipline, including codes of conduct; techniques to establish formal and informal support programs; and increased familiarity with field safety protocols, fieldwork hazards and emergency response planning and associated resources. To ensure that the program is relevant and impactful, it will include (1) a common core program that can be customized for different types of fieldwork and research activities; and (2) incorporation of active learning and scenario-based components. The training will address the needs of all participants, including team leader, team member and individual researcher.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.

实地调查是国内和国际大学正在进行的研究项目的一个组成部分，主要是在STEM领域，特别是在地球科学领域。因此，研究团队和个人被安排在不同的实地环境中。有组织的研究和轶事报告都表明，各种骚扰行为，无论是性行为还是基于性别、种族、民族或能力的骚扰行为，都是实地运动中的一个重大问题。2013年，一项针对来自科学和社会科学领域32个学科的实地科学家的调查发现，这些行为往往是由权力结构的顶层直接引导给较年轻的同事的。随后对实地工作经验进行的一项研究得出的结论是，实地研究和培训的行为标准和行为规则缺乏明确性，导致骚扰的发生率增加。这些研究还表明，在实地遭受骚扰的大多数人不知道如何或向谁报告，说明需要制定明确的指导方针。在这里，我们建议制定一个以现场团队为中心的文化和风险管理研讨会计划，旨在培养技能和工具，以提高研究伦理，创造更安全的现场工作环境，并防止未来的骚扰。本次研讨会提案的目标是设计、实施和评估一个以实地工作为导向的文化建设研讨会项目，旨在通过促进尊重、公平和无歧视的环境来减少骚扰。这一培训将侧重于发展知识和人际交往技能，以防止在孤立的外地环境中发生骚扰和缓和局势，包括旨在改善团队文化和人际交往以及促进分享经验的练习；为具体分学科制定适合实地工作的相互接受的准则和标准，包括行为守则；建立正式和非正式支持计划的技巧；提高对现场安全规程、现场工作危险和应急响应计划及相关资源的熟悉程度。为了确保该计划的相关性和影响力，它将包括(1)一个共同的核心计划，可以为不同类型的实地工作和研究活动定制；(2)结合主动学习和基于场景的组件。培训将满足所有参与者的需求，包括团队领导、团队成员和个人研究员。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。
