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. This project seeks to develop a national quantum literacy workforce network to broaden and increase participation. By applying fairness, ethics, accountability and transparency (FEAT) to develop quantum literacy frameworks, this project aims to engage diverse communities in quantum science. Partners include those from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), national laboratories, industry, and nonprofits who will develop a taxonomy, curriculum, training and national network to enhance quantum literacy at a national scale.The project aims to increase the participation of historically underrepresented groups in quantum science through its diverse network as well as through its curriculum and training. The building of a national quantum literacy workforce ecosystem includes four pathways: (1) identifying quantum literacy taxonomic nomenclature utilized in industry settings; (2) conceptualizing a quantum literacy curriculum design informed by industry; (3) designing training modalities that are adaptable to various industries; and (4) building a national network of academics, businesses, nonprofits, government and national laboratories. The curriculum aims to be widely accessible and used by those in industry, students, academics as well as government and nonprofits. By assisting end-users to gain an understanding of the quantum concepts, this project will enhance a quantum literate communities. With a focus on building the network with those from HBCUs, MBEs, governments labs, industry, and nonprofits, this project aims to transform and strengthen the quantum workforce and will be a resource for those engaging in diversity efforts in quantum.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融合加速器支持以使用为灵感，以团队为基础，多学科的努力，以应对国家重要性的挑战，并将在不久的将来为社会提供有价值的成果。该项目旨在建立一个全国量子扫盲工作人员网络，以扩大和增加参与。通过应用公平，道德，问责制和透明度（FEAT）来开发量子素养框架，该项目旨在让不同的社区参与量子科学。合作伙伴包括那些来自历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU），少数民族商业企业（MBE），国家实验室，工业和非营利组织谁将开发一个分类，课程，该项目旨在通过其多样化的网络以及通过其课程，训练国家量子素养劳动力生态系统的建设包括四个途径：（1）确定行业环境中使用的量子素养分类命名法;（2）根据行业信息对量子素养课程设计进行概念化;（3）设计适用于各种行业的培训模式;（4）建立学术界，企业，非营利组织，政府和国家实验室的国家网络。该课程旨在被工业界，学生，学者以及政府和非营利组织广泛使用。通过帮助最终用户了解量子概念，该项目将增强量子文化社区。该项目的重点是与HBCU、MBE、政府实验室、行业和非营利组织建立网络，旨在转变和加强量子劳动力，并将成为那些从事量子多样性工作的人的资源。该奖项反映了NSF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。
