With support from the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program: Education and Human Resources (IUSE: EHR), this project aims to serve the national interest by synthesizing and disseminating research and knowledge about STEM teaching and learning. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) will undertake a 60-month project to establish a blog to share information and to convene a series of meetings and webinars that lead to increased use of effective undergraduate education strategies. The intended outcomes of this project are to provide principal investigators in the IUSE program, evaluators, researchers, and other leaders with an opportunity to: (a) disseminate innovative, evidence-based practices for transforming undergraduate STEM education for majors and non-majors, including improving the diversity of students and faculty participating in STEM education; (b) share STEM education research studies, particularly those focused on different types of institutions and diverse student populations; and (c) establish collaborations among educators, researchers, evaluators, and institutions.The major goals of this project are to (a) synthesize and disseminate research and knowledge about STEM teaching and learning and (b) increase the use of effective evidence-based undergraduate curricula and instructional strategies that will lead to a diverse STEM workforce and a STEM-literate public. To this end, AAAS will provide opportunities for in-person and virtual learning and dialogue. Specific activities include two national summits for faculty and staff from institutions of higher education, as well as professional and educational organizations. The summits will feature plenary presentations, posters, papers, investigator-led working and discussion groups, and sessions led by NSF program directors. Ongoing conversations will be facilitated through post-summit online forums intended to foster continued dissemination and collaboration among investigators and the broader STEM education community. In conjunction with NSF program directors, AAAS will offer IUSE proposal preparation webinars focused on reviewing and discussing the guidelines for IUSE proposals to encourage broader participation in this funding opportunity. AAAS will also host a blog on research and evidence-based strategies to prepare a diverse STEM workforce and science-literate public featuring expert authors and guest editors across various sectors and roles. A 2023 follow-up to the AAAS-NSF 2018 "Levers for Change Working Meeting" is also planned, to assemble STEM education researchers and practitioners who will assess progress and outline potential high-impact future directions in undergraduate STEM education. Additional products will include a printed and electronic report about levers of change in undergraduate STEM education as well as a project website with online poster and paper abstract locators and archived summit programs, webinars, blog, and report resources. The project will include thousands of IUSE principal investigators, co-investigators, and staff across the more than 400 institutions funded by the IUSE program, as well as relevant stakeholders beyond those currently funded by IUSE to promote the generation, exchange, and use of evidence-based practices to improve the future of undergraduate STEM education.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NSF改善本科STEM教育计划：教育和人力资源（IUSE：EHR）的支持下，该项目旨在通过综合和传播有关STEM教学和学习的研究和知识来服务于国家利益。 美国科学促进会（AAAS）将开展一个为期60个月的项目，建立一个博客来分享信息，并召开一系列会议和网络研讨会，以增加有效的本科教育战略的使用。 该项目的预期成果是为IUSE项目的主要研究人员、评估人员、研究人员和其他领导人提供一个机会：（a）传播创新的、基于证据的做法，以改变本科STEM教育的专业和非专业，包括提高参与STEM教育的学生和教师的多样性;（B）分享STEM教育研究报告，特别是侧重于不同类型机构和不同学生群体的研究报告;（c）在教育工作者、研究人员、评估人员和机构。该项目的主要目标是：（a）综合和传播有关STEM教学和学习的研究和知识;（B）增加有效证据的使用-基于本科课程和教学策略，这将导致一个多元化的干劳动力和干识字的公众。 为此，AAAS将提供面对面和虚拟学习和对话的机会。 具体活动包括为高等教育机构以及专业和教育组织的教职员工举行的两次全国首脑会议。 峰会将包括全体会议、海报、论文、主持人领导的工作和讨论小组以及由NSF项目负责人领导的会议。 正在进行的对话将通过旨在促进调查人员和更广泛的STEM教育社区之间的持续传播和合作的峰会后在线论坛来促进。 AAAS将与NSF项目负责人一起提供IUSE提案准备网络研讨会，重点是审查和讨论IUSE提案的指导方针，以鼓励更广泛地参与这一资助机会。 AAAS还将主办一个关于研究和循证战略的博客，以准备一支多元化的STEM劳动力队伍和具有科学素养的公众，其中包括各个部门和角色的专家作者和客座编辑。 还计划在2023年举行AAAS-NSF 2018年“变革杠杆工作会议”的后续会议，召集STEM教育研究人员和从业者，他们将评估进展并概述本科STEM教育中潜在的高影响力未来方向。 其他产品将包括一份关于本科STEM教育变革杠杆的印刷和电子报告，以及一个项目网站，其中包括在线海报和论文摘要定位器以及存档的峰会计划、网络研讨会、博客和报告资源。 该项目将包括IUSE项目资助的400多个机构的数千名IUSE主要研究者，共同研究者和工作人员，以及目前由IUSE资助的相关利益相关者，以促进生成，交换，证据的使用-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得支持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。
