This award will fund a workshop (place and dates to be determined) to develop policies and best practices to deal with sexual harrassment associated with field research. While many institutions and organizations are revisiting their policies and practices regarding sexual harassment, there remains a gap in attention to policies and best practices specifically tailored to the remote and isolated nature of the field environment. Institutions lack policy on response to the acute safety issues caused by harassment in remote settings, as well as guidance on jurisdiction for potential responses,This workshop will: (1) open a dialogue between sexual harassment experts and the field research community to develop best practices and recommendations; (2) build coordination and encouraging consistency in policy setting and enforcement across field stations and oceanographic platforms; (3) develop processes to monitor the reporting of sexual harassment instances occurring at remote field locations; and (4) promote a safe culture for scientists conducting research at remote field stations and on oceanographic vessels. Participants will include sexual harassment experts, leadership from academic research institutions, research stations, and ship operators, field researchers, technical/crew managers, and representation from member associations. The recommendations will be broadly distributed at appropriate scientific meetings and associations.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.

该奖项将资助一个研讨会（地点和日期待定），以制定政策和最佳实践来处理与实地研究相关的性骚扰。虽然许多机构和组织正在重新审查其关于性骚扰的政策和做法，但在注意专门针对外地环境的偏远和孤立性质的政策和最佳做法方面仍然存在差距。该讲习班将：（1）在性骚扰问题专家和实地研究界之间开展对话，以制定最佳做法和建议;（2）在各实地站和海洋学平台之间建立协调，鼓励政策制定和执行的一致性;（3）制定程序，监测偏远实地地点发生的性骚扰事件的报告情况;（4）为在偏远实地站和海洋研究船上进行研究的科学家促进安全文化。与会者将包括性骚扰问题专家、学术研究机构、研究站和船舶运营商的领导、实地研究人员、技术/船员管理人员以及成员协会的代表。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。
