Commemorating 20 Years of ADVANCE: Design Thinking Sessions for a Digital Exhibit and Archive

该奖项将召集先进社区的成员开发和推出一个展览和档案的原型，以纪念NSF进步20年。面对面的焦点小组将在2022年STEM社区ARC网络公平会议上举行，这是先进社区的两年一次会议，虚拟焦点小组紧随会议之后举行。会议将以协作集思广益的形式进行，利用设计思维在展览和档案的内容创建、分发和评估方面寻求广泛的意见。从2022年社区会议中收集的意见将在之后通过在线焦点小组和参与性网络研讨会加以完善，以接触到没有出席的先进社区成员。通过这种方式，更广泛的先进社区将共同创建档案框架，从而产生共享所有权。这项会议提案的智力价值在于，它侧重于展示过去20年来设计、实施、评估和研究先进项目的不同个人的贡献。这一努力旨在捕捉和分享这些团队和个人对STEM性别平等工作的贡献。这个项目还将分享关于NSF预付款如何直接导致组织和机构变化的知识。创建和传播这一数字档案馆的目的是通过突出人们在这些活动中的不同组成和参与，加强所有先行项目的影响。这包括捕捉提前参加过的人对职业生涯的纵向影响。NSF高级方案旨在通过重点确定和消除阻碍学术机构中不同教员充分参与和进步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环境中。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will convene members of the ADVANCE community to develop and launch prototypes of an exhibit and archive commemorating 20 years of NSF ADVANCE. The in-person focus groups will take place at the 2022 ARC Network Equity in STEM Community Convening, which serves as the biennial meeting of the ADVANCE community, with the virtual focus group immediately following the Convening. The meetings will be conducted as collaborative brainstorming using design thinking to seek broad input on content creation, distribution, and evaluation for the exhibit and archive. Inputs gleaned from the 2022 Community Convening will be refined afterward through an online focus group and participatory webinar to reach those members of the ADVANCE community who were not in attendance. In this way the broader ADVANCE community will co-create the framework for the archive and thereby generate shared ownership.The intellectual merit of this conference proposal lies in its focus on rendering visible the contributions of the diverse individuals that have designed, implemented, evaluated, and researched ADVANCE projects over the last 20 years. This effort is designed to capture and share the contribution of these teams and individuals to gender equity work in STEM. This project will also share knowledge on how organizational and institutional change occurred as a direct result of NSF ADVANCE awards. The creation and dissemination of this digital archive is intended to enhance the impact of all ADVANCE projects by highlighting the diverse composition and participation of people in these activities. This includes capturing the longitudinal career impact on people of having participated in ADVANCE. 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.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.
