Science has often been understood as a universal language, involving conversations across all parts of the planet. However, as recent controversies regarding vaccination and climate change remind us, not everyone understands science in the same way. Recent research on science, technology, environment, and medicine is addressing this issue by looking at how diverse publics engage with and apply science. They are also analyzing how these disparate publics influence scientific innovation. Still, most of this research focuses on the United States and Europe. This project provides a more comprehensive view of how science works by examining scientific innovation and application in Latin America and the Caribbean and the relation of science in the region to other sites. By sponsoring a website, workshops, and publications, the project will produce new resources for teachers and researchers, providing access to cutting edge studies of science in Latin America and the Caribbean. It will also train a new generation of graduate students in the history of science to conduct research on Latin America and the Caribbean and to incorporate the region into their courses. This Research Coordination Network project brings together senior and established researchers and graduate students to take stock of the vibrant and burgeoning fields of science, technology, environment, and medicine in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our network will secure ties among researchers in North and South America and unify discussions taking place with a variety of academic societies and organizations. It will produce publications that make this research available to those who are not specialists in the region. The ethnic and racial diversity of Latin America and the existence of creolized Indigenous and Afro-descendant knowledge practices make it an excellent place for advancing knowledge of worldviews that challenge or coexist with scientific rationalities. Project participants will include graduate students in the history of science and provide them with in-depth training and mentoring on Latin America and the Caribbean--training that is not readily available in the majority of history of science graduate programs. K-16 teachers will gain access to bibliographies, lesson plans, essays, and collections of syllabi that allow them to cover a broader range of scientific endeavors and of a more diverse community of scientists. Their students will in turn incorporate and reproduce more complete and complex representations of how science functions globally.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.

科学经常被理解为一种通用语言，涉及地球各地的对话。但是，由于最近关于疫苗接种和气候变化的争议提醒我们，并不是每个人都以同样的方式理解科学。关于科学，技术，环境和医学的最新研究正在通过研究多样化的公众参与和应用科学的方式来解决这个问题。他们还分析了这些不同的公众如何影响科学创新。尽管如此，这项研究的大部分都集中在美国和欧洲。该项目通过研究拉丁美洲和加勒比海的科学创新和应用以及该地区科学与其他站点的关系，提供了更全面的看法。通过赞助一个网站，研讨会和出版物，该项目将为教师和研究人员提供新的资源，从而为拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区的科学研究提供访问权限。它还将培训科学史上的新一代研究生，以对拉丁美洲和加勒比海进行研究，并将该地区纳入其课程。 该研究协调网络项目汇集了高级和成熟的研究人员和研究生，以盘点拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区的科学，技术，环境和医学的充满活力和新兴的科学领域。我们的网络将在北美和南美的研究人员之间保持联系，并统一与各种学术社会和组织进行的讨论。它将制作出版的出版物，使这项研究可用于该地区不是专家的人。拉丁美洲的种族和种族多样性以及克里奥尔语的土著和非洲裔居民知识实践的存在，使其成为促进对世界观的知识知识或与科学合理共存的世界观知识的绝佳场所。项目参与者将在科学史上包括研究生，并为他们提供有关拉丁美洲和加勒比海的深入培训和指导 - 在大多数科学史研究生课程中，这些培训都不容易获得。 K-16教师将获得书目，课程计划，论文和课程收藏的访问权限，使他们能够涵盖更广泛的科学努力和更多样化的科学家社区。他们的学生将反过来纳入并复制科学在全球范围内的功能的更完整和复杂的表示。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
