The NSF Convergence Accelerator supports use-inspired, team-based, multidisciplinary efforts that address challenges of national importance and will produce deliverables of value to society in the near future. The broader impact and potential societal benefit of this Convergence Accelerator conference proposal is to address institutional racism by utilizing advanced technologies that have the potential to disrupt institutional racism in ways that have not been experienced previously. The disparate burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black communities, the recent high profile police involved murders of Black people in Minneapolis and Louisville, and the longstanding racial achievement gaps in education underscore the need for the proposed project. Institutional racism currently manifestsheavily within criminal justice, education, and healthcare. The project seeks to explore the use of technology in building more socially conscious systems to mitigate institutional racism. Leading experts in this project will leverage their talents, perspectives, and resources to help the project document technology-infused ideas that have potential to disrupt institutional racism in ways that have not been experienced in the past. Ending institutional racism will only be advanced by visionaries across academic disciplines and sectors who can see a universe of opportunity that is not distant or unattainable. The field experts who will commit to this project have the capacity to converge efforts to advance human technology in addressing racial inequities in criminal justice, education, and health systems. The PIs have plan to broadly disseminate findings included in the technical report across sectors including academia, non-profits, government, and especially the technology industry. Finally, this project also has the potential to broaden the scope and influence of research by including HBCU scholars.This project will advance knowledge of technologically-informed systems at the Human Technology Frontier that have the potential to mitigate institutional racism in the criminal justice, education, and health workforce. The virtual workshops will bring together transdisciplinary and cross-sector thought leaders from social, behavioral and computational sciences and industry with demonstrated capacity to propose technological innovations that have the most potential to create the humanistic agency necessary to advance racial equity within the criminal justice, education, and health systems. The plan for the workshops optimizes and builds upon prior identified cutting-edge research that will be foundational to achieving the project’s ultimate goal of developing a technical report that provides solutions to existing gaps affecting the Black community in criminal justice, education, and healthcare. Our plan to distribute relevant major studies prior to the workshops for the leaders to review and evaluate will ensure that ensuing discussions at the workshop are informed by the current landscape. Further, final reports from each workshop session will have the potential to form the basis for a NSF Convergence Accelerator Track topic. The PIs organization, Quality Education for Minorities Network (QEM) has 30 years of experience with research and programs that have assembled technical advisors necessary to conduct the proposed activities. The project will also strategically use HBCU researchers for their time-honored expertise with advancing African American progress.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.

NSF融合加速器支持以团队为基础的多学科努力，这些努力应对国家重要性的挑战，并将在不久的将来为社会带来价值的可交付成果。这种融合加速器会议提案的更广泛的影响和潜在的社会利益是通过利用先进的技术来解决机构种族主义，这些技术有可能以以前从未经历过的方式破坏机构种族主义。 Covid-19-19对黑人社区的不同烧伤，最近的备受瞩目的警察涉及对明尼阿波利斯和路易斯维尔的黑人谋杀，以及教育中长期以来的种族成就差距强调了对拟议项目的需求。机构种族主义目前在刑事司法，教育和医疗保健中表现出来。该项目旨在探索技术在建立更具社会意识的系统来减轻制度种族主义时的使用。该项目的主要专家将利用他们的才能，观点和资源来帮助项目记录技术注入的想法，这些想法有可能以过去从未经历过的方式破坏机构种族主义。结束机构种族主义只有在学术学科和部门的有远见的人才才能提出，他们可以看到一个不远处或无法实现的机会宇宙。将致力于该项目的现场专家有能力融合努力，以推动人类技术解决刑事司法，教育和卫生系统中的赛车不平等。 PIS计划在跨学术界，非营​​利组织，政府，尤其是技术行业等领域的技术报告中广泛传播研究结果。最后，该项目还有可能通过包括HBCU学者来扩大研究的范围和影响。该项目将在人类技术领域的技术知识系统中了解知识，该项目有可能减轻刑事司法，教育和卫生劳动力中的机构种族主义。 The virtual workshops will bring together transdisciplinary and cross-sector thought leaders from social, behavioral and computational sciences and industry with demonstrated capacity to propose technical innovations that have the most potential to create the humanistic agency necessary to advance racial equity within The plan for the workshops optimizes and builds upon prior identified cutting-edge research that will be foundational to achieving the project’s ultimate goal of developing a technical report that provides solutions to existing gaps affecting the Black community in刑事司法，教育和医疗保健。我们的计划在研讨会之前分发相关的主要研究供领导者进行审查和评估，将确保确保在研讨会上进行讨论，并由当前的景观告知。此外，每个研讨会会议的最终报告将有可能构成NSF收敛加速器轨道主题的基础。 PIS组织，少数民族网络质量教育（QEM）在研究和计划方面拥有30年的经验，这些研究和计划组装了进行拟议活动所需的技术顾问。该项目还将从战略上使用HBCU研究人员来享有的专业知识，并提高非裔美国人的进步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为是珍贵的支持。
