ADVANCE Partnership: Empowering scientists to transform workplace climate through the ADVANCEGeo community-based intervention program

ADVANCEGeo 致力于改变工作场所氛围的合作伙伴关系旨在通过行为改变教育在个人和集体层面实施干预措施，并通过实施将骚扰、欺凌和歧视视为科学不端行为的道德行为准则在组织层面实施干预措施。该项目将制定：（1）学术部门的工作场所气候干预计划和未来的教师培训计划； (2) 培训师培训认证和能力建设计划，以吸引和激活多元化的 STEM 领导团队； (3) 在线公共支架资源，用于更广泛地参与工作场所气候干预措施； (4) 通过扩大伙伴关系和新的合作，在 STEM 领域产生持续的国家影响的计划。该项目利用与专业协会的合作来产生全国影响，并建立在之前与专业协会的工作 (NSF 1725879) 的基础上。增强的合作伙伴和合作者网络旨在吸引和支持多元化的培训师，并将该计划的影响范围扩大到多个 STEM 学科。虽然充满敌意的 STEM 工作环境对历史上被排除在外的群体成员产生了不成比例的影响，但 STEM 中的每个人都受益于蓬勃发展、包容、公正和公平的研究和教育环境。该项目的战略影响包括 (1) 授权 STEM 部门和项目通过社区参与和责任有意识地减少敌对工作场所气候的普遍性和影响； (2) 在工作场所激活更广泛的教职员工和科学家群体，创造蓬勃发展的研究和培训环境； (3) 提高 STEM 教师的保留率。 NSF ADVANCE 计划旨在通过重点识别和消除阻碍学术机构多元化教师充分参与和进步的组织障碍，促进性别平等。 阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、流程、实践以及组织文化和氛围中。 ADVANCE“合作伙伴”奖为学术性、非营利性高等教育机构和非学术性、非营利性组织调整和采用基于证据的策略提供支持。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。

The ADVANCEGeo Partnership for transforming workplace climate aims to enact interventions at the individual and collective level through behavior change education and organizationally through the implementation of ethical codes of conduct that frame harassment, bullying, and discrimination as scientific misconduct. The project will develop: (1) a workplace climate intervention program for academic departments and future faculty training programs; (2) a train-the-trainers’ certification and capacity-building program to engage and activate a diverse team of STEM leaders; (3) online public scaffolded resources for broader engagement in workplace climate interventions; and (4) a plan for sustained national impact across STEM through extended partnerships and new collaborations. The project leverages collaborations with professional associations for nationwide impact and builds on prior work (NSF 1725879) with professional societies. The enhanced network of partners and collaborators aims to engage and support a diverse cohort of trainers and expand the program’s reach into multiple STEM disciplines.While hostile STEM workplace environments disproportionately impact individuals who are members of historically excluded groups, everyone in STEM benefits from a thriving, inclusive, just, and equitable research and educational environment. The strategic impacts of the project include (1) Empowering STEM departments and programs to intentionally reduce the prevalence and impact of hostile workplace climates through community engagement and responsibility; (2) Activating a broader community of faculty, staff, and scientists in the workplace to create thriving research and training environments; and (3) Increasing retention of faculty in STEM.The NSF ADVANCE program is designed to foster gender equity through a focus on the identification and elimination of organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of diverse faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in policies, processes, practices, and the organizational culture and climate. ADVANCE "Partnership" awards provide support for the adaptation and adoption of evidence-based strategies to academic, non-profit institutions of higher education and non-academic, non-profit organizations.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.
