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

ADVANCEGeo改变工作场所气候伙伴关系旨在通过行为改变教育在个人和集体层面制定干预措施，并在组织上通过实施将骚扰、欺凌和歧视视为科学不当行为的道德行为准则来实施干预。该项目将制定：(1)针对学术部门和未来教师培训计划的工作场所气候干预计划；(2)培训培训员认证和能力建设计划，以吸引和激活不同的STEM领导人团队；(3)在线公共脚手架资源，用于更广泛地参与工作场所气候干预；以及(4)通过我们扩大的伙伴关系和新的合作，在整个STEM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在全国范围内产生影响，并建立在与专业协会先前的工作(国家科学基金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不同的培训人员队伍，并将该计划的覆盖范围扩大到多个STEM学科。尽管敌对的STEM工作环境对属于历史上被排斥群体的个人有不成比例的影响，但STEM的每个人都从蓬勃发展、包容、公正和公平的研究和教育环境中受益。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，故意减少敌对工作环境的流行和影响；(2)激活更广泛的教职员工、工作人员和科学家社区，以创造蓬勃发展的研究和培训环境；以及(3)增加STEM教师的留用。NSF高级计划旨在通过重点识别和消除阻碍不同教师充分参与和提升学术机构的组织障碍来促进性别平等。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。先期“伙伴关系”奖为学术、非营利性高等教育机构和非学术、非营利性组织适应和采用循证战略提供支持。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 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 our 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 have disproportionate impacts on individuals that are members of historically excluded groups, everyone in STEM benefits from 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 work 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.
