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.

密歇根大学安娜堡分校的研究人员将与密歇根州立大学的研究人员合作实施电子病历核心研究（ECR）项目。该项目将研究包容性的教育和工作环境如何影响STEM学术职业成果，特别是对于来自代表性不足群体的早期职业人士。提议者将开发一种包容性作者气候的新结构，在这种环境中，智力贡献在整个研究过程中受到充分欢迎和重视。提案人将研究研究小组、部门和专业层面的包容性气候，每一个都可能影响代表性不足的早期职业STEM学者的职业成果。最终，该项目将促进对如何促进STEM的多样性、公平性和包容性的理解。该研究建立在个人-环境契合度（PE Fit）的组织理论基础上，该理论认为，与个人需求、技能和价值观相一致的组织环境会对职业结果和态度产生积极影响。提议者认为，对于来自代表性不足群体的STEM个人来说，“适合”需要一个包容的氛围（即，一个重视差异并让所有人都感到受欢迎的环境）。研究人员将开发、测试和实施一项针对物理学、经济学、生物学和心理学四个STEM领域的3500名研究生、博士后学者和助理教授的调查，这些领域的教员中少数族裔比例较低，性别比例较低或中等。结构方程模型将量化学者在三个不同职业阶段、不同机构声望的部门和不同规范和文化的学科中，包容性气候对职业结果影响的差异。这项研究的一个重要贡献将是包容性作者气候概念的发展以及衡量它的指标和调查工具的发展。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。
