Researchers from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor will collaborate with researchers from Michigan State University to implement an EHR Core Research (ECR) project. The project will study how an inclusive educational and workplace climate can affect academic STEM career outcomes, particularly for early-career individuals from underrepresented groups. The proposers will develop a novel construct of inclusive authorship climate in which intellectual contributions are fully welcomed and valued throughout the research process. The proposers will examine inclusive climate at the levels of the research group, department, and profession, each of which likely shapes career outcomes for underrepresented, early-career STEM scholars. Ultimately, this project will advance understanding of how to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM.The study builds on the organizational theory of Person-Environment Fit (PE Fit) which claims that career outcomes and attitudes are positively affected by having an organizational environment that is congruent with an individual’s needs, skills, and values. The proposers argue that for individuals in STEM from underrepresented groups, 'fit' requires an inclusive climate (i.e., an environment that values differences and makes all feel welcome). The researchers will develop, test and implement a survey of 3,500 graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and assistant professors in four STEM fields for which faculty racial minority representation is low and gender representation is low or moderate: physics, economics, biology, and psychology. Structural equation modeling will quantify differences in the effect of inclusive climate on career outcomes of scholars at three different career stages, in departments with different institutional prestige, and in disciplines with different norms and cultures. An important contribution of this research will be the development of the inclusive authorship climate concept and the development of metrics and survey instruments to measure it.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.

密歇根大学Ann Arbor大学的研究人员将与密歇根州立大学的研究人员合作实施EHR核心研究（ECR）项目。该项目将研究包容性的教育和工作场所的气候如何影响学术的STEM职业成果，尤其是对于来自代表性不足的群体的早期职业人士。这些建议将开发出一种包容性作者身份环境的新颖结构，在整个研究过程中，智力贡献受到全面的欢迎和价值。这些提案将在研究小组，部门和促进级别的水平上检查包容性气候，每个人都可能塑造了代表性不足的早期职业学者的职业成果。最终，该项目将促进对STEM的多样性，公平性和包容性的理解。该研究基于组织环境拟合（PE FIT）的组织理论，声称职业成果和与会者的组织环境与个人的需求，技能和价值观一致。该提案认为，对于来自代表性不足的群体中的个人，“适合”需要一个包容性的气候（即，一个重视差异并使所有人感到欢迎的环境）。研究人员将对3500名研究生，博士后学者以及四个STEM领域的助理教授开发，测试和实施调查，该教师赛车少数群体代表较低，性别代表性低或中等：物理，经济学，生物学和心理学。结构方程建模将量化在三个不同职业阶段，具有不同机构声望的部门以及具有不同规范和文化的学科中，学者在包容性的登山者成果的影响方面的差异。这项研究的重要贡献将是包容性作者身份气候概念的发展以及指标和调查工具的衡量。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评估标准来通过评估来评估。
