Collaborative Research: Build and Broaden 2.0: California Alliance for Hispanic-serving Social Science Advancement (CAHSSA)

该奖项的全部或部分资金来自《2021年美国救援计划法案》(公法117-2)。加州拉美裔服务社会科学促进联盟(CAHSSA)通过审查系统性障碍和全面的专业发展规划和政策，建立并扩大了社会科学教师在外部资助研究中的低参与度。加州三所大学之间的合作将为28所不同规模的拉美裔服务机构(HSI)提供服务，这些机构代表着加州州立大学(CSU)和加州大学(UC)系统中独特的地区因素。该项目的成果将成为推动影响美国公众健康、繁荣和福利的广泛学科研究的典范。CAHSSA对HSIS和非HSIS的NSF社会科学提案审查评论进行了比较内容分析，以确定社会、行为和经济研究是如何在机构类型中构建和实践的，并揭示审查过程中存在的任何偏见。结果将为该项目的干预措施提供信息，包括虚拟赠款写作网络研讨会和研讨会、写作小组、密集写作务虚会，以及为700多名CSU和加州大学社会科学教职员工和领导人举办的社会科学领袖研讨会。加州拉美裔服务社会科学促进联盟(CAHSSA)将通过审查NSF审查员对社会科学提案的看法，寻求更好地了解拉美裔服务机构(HSI)和少数族裔服务机构(MSI)的社会科学家在微观层面、不同校园类型内和宏观层面的校外资助过程中所面临的挑战。PIS从近4500人的人才库中招募了来自22个加州州立大学(CSU)HSI校区和6个加州大学(UC)HSI校区的700多名社会科学研究人员和领导者，参加虚拟网络研讨会和研讨会(N=500名研究人员)、写作小组(N=160名研究人员)、写作务虚会(N=60名研究人员)和研讨会(N=100名领导者)。方法包括CSU和UC年度全系统调查、干预前和干预后参与者评估调查、焦点小组访谈，以及对过去十年中500项提案的赠款审查员评论的内容分析。这一项目的结果将成为推动关于教师专业发展和扩大参与的科学的新对话的全国典范，通过研究影响HSIS/MSIS社会科学资助成功的体制因素。这些干预措施将产生创新的拨款建议，以加强社会科学研究，并修订政策和程序，以加强支持社会科学拨款和HSIS/MSIS研究活动的做法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). The California Alliance for Hispanic-Serving Social Science Advancement (CAHSSA) builds and broadens the low participation of social science faculty in extramurally funded research with an examination of systemic barriers and comprehensive professional development programming and policies. The partnership between three California universities will serve 28 Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) of various sizes and representing unique regional factors in the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC) systems. The outcomes of this project will serve as a model to advance research in wide-ranging disciplines that impact the health, prosperity, and welfare of the US public. CAHSSA implements a comparative content analysis of NSF social science proposal review comments at HSIs and non-HSIs to identify how social, behavioral, and economic research is constructed and practiced across institutional types as well as reveal any existing biases in the review process. Results will inform the project's interventions that include virtual grant writing webinars and workshops, writing groups, intensive writing retreats, and social science leader seminars for more than 700 CSU and UC social sciences faculty and leaders. The California Alliance for Hispanic-Serving Social Science Advancement (CAHSSA) will pursue a greater understanding of the challenges faced by social scientists at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) in the extramural funding process at the micro-level within varied campus types and at the macro-level through the examination of NSF reviewer perceptions of social science proposals. From a pool of nearly 4500, the PIs recruit more than 700 social sciences researchers and leaders from 22 California State University (CSU) HSI campuses and six University of California (UC) HSI campuses to participate in virtual webinars and workshops (N=500 researchers), writing groups (N=160 researchers), writing retreats (N=60 researchers), and seminars (N=100 leaders). Methods include CSU and UC annual systemwide surveys, pre- and post-intervention participant evaluation surveys, focus group interviews, and content analysis of grant reviewer comments on 500 proposals over the prior ten years. The results of this project will serve as a national model for advancing a new dialogue on faculty professional development and the science of broadening participation by studying institutional factors that shape social science grant success at HSIs/MSIs. The interventions will produce innovative grant proposals to enhance research in the social sciences as well as the revision of policies and procedures to strengthen practices that support social sciences grant and research activity at HSIs/MSIs.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.
