This collaborative research project, involving Michigan State University, the University of North Texas and the University of Michigan, will examine whether epistemic exclusion, a form a scholarly devaluation, may create a barrier to the full inclusion and participation of women and faculty of color in STEM. Epistemic exclusion is the devaluation of certain types of scholarship that occurs when invisible biases in systems of evaluation are coupled with prejudice toward, and negative stereotypes about, historically underrepresented groups. Because faculty members' career outcomes (e.g., promotion, tenure, and turnover intentions) are determined by how well they meet evaluative standards, bias in systems of evaluation that disproportionately harm women and faculty of color may impede their retention and advancement in academia. The project team will create and validate a scale assessing faculty epistemic exclusion. Results of the project have the potential to benefit society by providing a tool that researchers can use to investigate epistemic exclusion in STEM faculty. Advancing this line of research may result in potential interventions and policy changes at institutions of higher education that improve the retention and promotion of women and underrepresented minority STEM faculty at our nation’s colleges and universities. There is a plan for dissemination to scholarly audiences through peer-reviewed presentation and publications in professional journals that will help inform the research and academic communities. This project is supported by the EHR Core Research (ECR) program, which supports work that advances fundamental research on STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development. The ECR program supports the accumulation of robust evidence to inform efforts to understand, build theory to explain, and suggest intervention and innovations to address persistent challenges in STEM interest, education, learning and participation. The project was co-funded by the NSF ADVANCE program which supports the implementation of organizational change strategies to address systemic inequities that impact women in STEM faculty careers. The project was also funded by the Alliances for Graduate Education and Professoriate (AGEP) program, which funds projects designed to advance knowledge about increasing the number of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native American Indians, Native Hawaiians and Native Pacific Islanders in STEM faculty careers.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.

该合作研究项目涉及密歇根州立大学，北德克萨斯大学和密歇根大学，将检查认识论排除是一种科学定义，是否可能造成妇女在STEM中的全面包容和参与的障碍。认知排斥是当评估系统中的看不见偏见与对历史上代表性不足的群体相结合的偏见和负面的刻板印象时，会发生某些类型的学术奖学金的定义。由于教职员工的职业成果（例如晋升，任期和离职意图）取决于他们满足评估标准的程度，因此评估系统的偏见不成比例，损害妇女的妇女和有色人种可能会阻碍她们在学术界的保留和进步。项目团队将创建并验证规模评估教师认识论排除。该项目的结果有可能通过提供研究人员可以用来调查STEM教师中的认知排斥的工具来使社会受益。推进这一研究可能会导致高等教育机构的潜在干预措施和政策变化，从而改善了我们国家大学和大学的妇女的保留和促进和代表性不足的少数族裔教师。有一个计划通过在专业期刊中的同行评审演讲和出版物来传播学术观众，这将有助于为研究和学术社区提供信息。该项目得到了EHR核心研究（ECR）计划的支持，该计划支持为STEM学习和学习环境，扩大STEM参与以及STEM劳动力发展的基础研究的工作。 ECR计划支持积累强大的证据，以告知努力，以理解，建立理论来解释并提出干预和创新，以应对STEM兴趣，教育，学习和参与方面的持续挑战。该项目由NSF Advance计划共同资助，该计划支持实施组织变革策略，以解决影响STEM教师职业妇女的系统性不平等。该项目还由研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP）计划资助，该计划旨在提高有关增加非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，美洲印第安人，夏威夷原住民，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民在STEM教师培训者中的知识的知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法规和诚实的支持，这表明了NSF的法规委员会的良好态度，这是通过评估良好的依据来进行的。
