项目摘要

Each field in the sciences has historically been represented by its own scientific society, bringing together individual researchers for regular meetings where they can network, share discoveries, and collaborate. While it is rare for multiple distinct scientific societies to interact, they often perform similar functions, such as promoting the professional development of their members and promoting diversity among the next generation of researchers in their respective fields. This project will establish a collaborative network of experts to identify evidence-based inclusion strategies to accomplish the following: (1) collect consistent demographic data of society memberships, (2) better integrate scientists in transitional career stages into scientific society activities, and (3) diversify the ranks of scientific society leaders. By fulfilling these goals, this project aims to overcome persistent challenges that frequently undermine diversity efforts within independent communities of scientists and to broadly share this information for the benefit of all scientific communities.Scientific societies predominantly approach diversity and inclusion efforts by supporting the professional development of individual members who are from historically underrepresented groups in STEM. Unfortunately, data is lacking to evaluate the efficacy of these efforts, and additional approaches are likely to be required to address the systemic inequities underpinning skewed demographics among STEM practitioners. Fortunately, scientific societies that function as communities of practice (CoPs) are uniquely positioned to lead cultural change and promote inclusive environments to foster a diverse STEM workforce. This Research Coordination Network (RCN) project will use virtual town halls and in-person think tanks to expand and strengthen a cross-disciplinary network of CoPs. This network will collaborate to identify evidence-based strategies to address three persistent challenges that scientific societies face as identified by members of the Alliance to Catalyze Change for Equity in STEM Success (ACCESS): (1) lack of data to track scientific society membership demographic composition, (2) lack of integration of scientists in transitional stages of their careers into disciplinary CoPs, and (3) lack of diversity among highly visible thought leaders, including speakers in scientific programs. This RCN is coordinated by ACCESS and its member societies in the life sciences (the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the American Society for Cell Biology, the American Society for Pharmaceutical and Experimental Therapeutics, the Endocrine Society, and the Biophysical Society), the Quality Education for Minorities Network, the Marine Biological Laboratories at Woods Hole, and the NSF INCLUDES Aspire Alliance. The resulting strategies and standards will be reported and disseminated through open access training materials and publications.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.
历史上,科学的每个领域都有自己的科学协会,将研究人员聚集在一起定期开会,在那里他们可以建立网络,分享发现和合作。虽然多个不同的科学学会很少互动,但它们往往发挥类似的功能,例如促进其成员的专业发展,促进各自领域下一代研究人员的多样性。该项目将建立一个专家合作网络,以确定基于证据的包容性战略,以实现以下目标:(1)收集社会成员的一致人口统计数据,(2)更好地将处于过渡职业阶段的科学家纳入科学社会活动,以及(3)使科学社会领导者队伍多样化。通过实现这些目标,该项目旨在克服经常破坏独立科学家社区内多样性努力的持续挑战,并广泛分享这一信息,以造福所有科学界。科学学会主要通过支持STEM中历史上代表性不足的群体的个人成员的专业发展来实现多样性和包容性努力。不幸的是,缺乏数据来评估这些努力的有效性,并且可能需要采取其他方法来解决STEM从业者中存在的系统性不公平现象。幸运的是,作为实践社区(CoP)的科学社会具有独特的优势,可以引领文化变革,促进包容性环境,以培养多元化的STEM劳动力。该研究协调网络(RCN)项目将利用虚拟市政霍尔斯和面对面的智囊团来扩大和加强跨学科的COP网络。该网络将合作确定基于证据的战略,以解决科学社会面临的三个持续挑战,这些挑战是由联盟成员确定的,以促进STEM成功的公平变革(ACCESS):(1)缺乏跟踪科学协会成员人口构成的数据,(2)缺乏将处于职业生涯过渡阶段的科学家纳入学科COP的整合,(3)在高度可见的思想领袖中缺乏多样性,包括科学节目的演讲者。该区域网络由ACCESS及其生命科学成员学会(美国生物化学和分子生物学学会、美国细胞生物学学会、美国药物和实验治疗学会、内分泌学会和生物物理学会)、少数群体优质教育网络、伍兹霍尔海洋生物实验室和NSF INCLUDES Aspire Alliance协调。由此产生的战略和标准将通过开放获取培训材料和出版物进行报告和传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并被认为值得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来支持。
