Catalyzing the STEM enterprise to work collaboratively for inclusive change, is the goal of the NSF INCLUDES program. Proposals includes alliances, demonstration pilots, and conferences/workshops organized into cohorts, depending on funding date. This work is in line with NSF’s mission to promote the progress of science. The long-term effect of the national network is a STEM workforce that reflects the population of the Nation. While current INCLUDES alliances each have made progress and can demonstrate impact of their individual goals, continuing to work independently will fall significantly short of the combined potential. This project believes that the alliances can come significantly closer to reaching overall INCLUDES program goals by building synergy and collaboration of activities across the alliances. Numerous interactions among Cohorts 1 and 2 leaders have led to the formation of the INCLUDES Community Alliance that proposes a 2-day virtual workshop to bring together and engage all three INCLUDES Alliance cohorts to leverage the collective knowledge, lessons learned, and specific activities to accelerate change in broadening STEM participation (BP) in realizing NSF’s bold vision. The proposed virtual two-day workshop will further capitalize on the synergy generated in the 2021 convening of the INCLUDES Alliance collective. The organization of the workshop will use an inclusive, participatory approach. There will be full involvement of the Alliance team during pre-conference and post-conference interaction. Attendees and the planning group include members of the CAHSI INCLUDES’ backbone team, NSF INCLUDES program officers and two representatives from of the INCLUDES Alliance Community team. The planning group invitees were selected based on those who have the breadth and depth of experience in and knowledge of working with complex systems to achieve bold goals and objectives. Ultimately, an equitable representation of network members will be present in order to ensure outcomes are usable and appropriate. The Alliances will select which representatives they would like to represent them as there may be emergent leaders who are not in a leadership role. The event needs representatives who have an overview of how all the parts of the alliance and its goals fit together in order to best determine how each alliance might relate to others. Discussions are ongoing to finalize the agenda and guiding questions, as well as who would be best at presenting at the event. Additionally, the external evaluator and thought leaders have experience working with STEM projects of this magnitude and complexity.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.

促进STEM企业合作实现包容性变革，是NSF INCLUDES计划的目标。 建议包括建立联盟、示范试点和根据供资日期组织成一批的会议/讲习班。这项工作符合NSF促进科学进步的使命。国家网络的长期影响是一个反映国家人口的STEM劳动力。虽然目前的INCLUDES联盟都取得了进展，并可以展示其各自目标的影响，但继续独立工作将大大低于综合潜力。该项目认为，通过在各联盟之间建立协同作用和协作活动，各联盟可以大大接近实现包容方案的总体目标。第1组和第2组领导人之间的许多互动导致了INCLUDES社区联盟的形成，该联盟提出了一个为期2天的虚拟研讨会，将所有三个INCLUDES联盟组聚集在一起，利用集体知识，经验教训和具体活动来加速扩大STEM参与（BP）的变化，以实现NSF的大胆愿景。拟议的为期两天的虚拟研讨会将进一步利用2021年召开的INCLUDES联盟集体会议产生的协同作用。 讲习班的组织将采用包容性和参与性的办法。联盟小组将充分参与会前和会后的互动。与会者和规划小组包括CAHSI INCLUDES骨干团队的成员，NSF INCLUDES项目官员和来自INCLUDES联盟社区团队的两名代表。规划小组的受邀者是根据那些在使用复杂系统以实现大胆目标和目的方面具有广泛和深入经验和知识的人来选择的。最终，网络成员将有公平的代表性，以确保成果是可用和适当的。联盟将选择他们希望代表他们的代表，因为可能会有不担任领导角色的新兴领导人。 该活动需要代表谁有一个联盟的所有部分和它的目标如何配合在一起，以最好地确定如何每个联盟可能与他人的概述。目前正在进行讨论，以最后确定议程和指导问题，以及谁最适合在活动中发言。此外，外部评估人员和思想领袖都有参与如此规模和复杂的STEM项目的经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
