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

该奖项将召集ADVANCE社区的成员开发和推出纪念NSF ADVANCE 20年的展览和档案的原型。现场焦点小组将在2022年ARC Network Equity in STEM社区召集会议上举行，该会议是ADVANCE社区的两年一度的会议，虚拟焦点小组将在召集会议后立即举行。会议将采用合作集思广益的方式进行，利用设计思维寻求对展览和档案内容创作、分发和评估的广泛投入。从2022年社区会议收集的意见将通过在线焦点小组和参与式网络研讨会进行完善，以接触那些没有出席的ADVANCE社区成员。通过这种方式，更广泛的ADVANCE社区将共同创建档案库的框架，从而产生共享所有权。本次会议提案的智力价值在于其专注于展示过去20年来设计，实施，评估和研究ADVANCE项目的各种个人的贡献。 这项工作旨在收集和分享这些团队和个人对STEM性别平等工作的贡献。 该项目还将分享如何组织和机构的变化发生的NSF ADVANCE奖项的直接结果的知识。 创建和传播这一数字档案的目的是通过突出人们在这些活动中的多样性组成和参与来加强所有促进发展项目的影响。这包括捕捉参与ADVANCE的人对职业生涯的纵向影响。 NSF ADVANCE计划旨在通过重点确定和消除阻碍学术机构中不同教师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氛围中。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。

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.
