Integrating into research design and analysis new perspectives on the ways in which biological and social categories intersect and overlap has led to discovery and innovation across numerous disciplines. It also promotes rigorous, reproducible and responsible science and technology. For example, car safety systems were dramatically improved to increase injury protection for women after national car crash data were separated for male and female drivers and female car crash dummies were introduced to account for the effect of acceleration on sex-specific biomechanics. To reap the benefits of the perspectives this approach offers in science and engineering research, it is essential that three pillars of academic research infrastructure coordinate efforts. This project brings together researchers and administrators at universities, journal editors, and funding agencies in two international workshops. The pair of workshops will share perspectives and resources across the U.S. and Canadian communities with the aim of fostering iSGDA in computer science and engineering research. Much progress has been made recently incorporating intersectional sex, gender, and diversity analysis (iSGDA) into medicine, health, and life science research. The workshops will draw from those models where relevant and focus on fields that are lagging behind. Attendees will include researchers from all areas of computer science and engineering, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, natural language processing, mechanical, civil, and other engineering. The long-term goals of the workshops are to: conceptualize methodologies for integrating iSGDA into research design, processes, analysis, and interpretation of research results; disseminate methods to researchers and staff across research institutions, funding agencies, and peer-reviewed journals; train the current and next generation of researchers who serve as peer reviewers for funding agencies, journals, and hiring, tenure, and promotion committees, and train faculty on best practices for incorporating these methods into core courses in their disciplines.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.

将研究设计和分析整合到生物和社会类别交叉和重叠的方式上，带来了许多学科的发现和创新。它还促进严谨、可再生和负责任的科学技术。例如，在将男女司机的全国车祸数据分开并引入女性车祸假人以解释加速度对性别特异性生物力学的影响之后，汽车安全系统得到了显著改进，以增加对女性的伤害保护。为了获得这种方法在科学和工程研究中提供的观点的好处，学术研究基础设施的三个支柱必须协调努力。该项目将大学的研究人员和管理人员、期刊编辑和资助机构聚集在两个国际研讨会上。这两个研讨会将分享美国和加拿大社区的观点和资源，目的是促进iSGDA在计算机科学和工程研究中的发展。最近，将交叉性、性别和多样性分析（iSGDA）纳入医学、健康和生命科学研究取得了很大进展。讲习班将借鉴相关的模式，并将重点放在落后的领域。与会者将包括来自计算机科学和工程各个领域的研究人员，包括人工智能、机器学习、机器人、自然语言处理、机械、土木和其他工程。讲习班的长期目标是：概念化将iSGDA整合到研究设计、过程、分析和研究结果解释中的方法；向研究机构、资助机构和同行评议期刊的研究人员和工作人员传播方法；培训当前和下一代的研究人员，他们作为资助机构、期刊、招聘、终身教职和晋升委员会的同行评审，并培训教师将这些方法纳入其学科核心课程的最佳实践。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。
