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 周年的展览和档案原型。现场焦点小组将在 2022 年 ARC Network Equity in STEM 社区会议上举行，该会议是 ADVANCE 社区每两年举行一次的会议，虚拟焦点小组将在会议后立即举行。会议将以协作式头脑风暴的形式进行，利用设计思维寻求有关展览和档案的内容创建、分发和评估的广泛意见。随后，将从 2022 年社区会议收集到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，以传达给未出席的 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重点在于让过去 20 年来设计、实施、评估和研究 ADVANCE 项目的不同个人的贡献变得可见。 这项工作旨在捕捉并分享这些团队和个人对 STEM 性别平等工作的贡献。 该项目还将分享有关 NSF ADVANCE 奖项如何直接导致组织和机构变革的知识。 该数字档案的创建和传播旨在通过强调人们在这些活动中的多元化组成和参与来增强所有 ADVANCE 项目的影响力。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来促进性别平等。 政策、流程、实践以及组织文化和氛围中可能存在阻碍公平的组织障碍。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点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.
