Institutions of higher education generally define underserved student populations using one-dimensional metrics, such as first-generation college status, PELL recipient, Latinx origin, African American origin, and Native American origin and gender. Yet, research shows that reporting higher education outcomes by race alone, gender alone or class alone is insufficient for documenting and eliminating inequities. Intersectionality or attention to the constitution of race, gender, class, and other axes of inequality as both analytically distinct and simultaneous systems in a given sociohistorical context is a powerful tool for making inequities visible and helping institutions of higher education create effective actions for advancing undergraduate student success in STEM and beyond. The HSI Intersectionality Community of Practice for Student Success (HSI-ICPSS) project will bring together 25 HSIs for a year-long community of practice through a virtual conference series. It will convene participating HSIs for four half-day conferences. Key stakeholders, including faculty, staff and other leaders with expertise in equity and inclusion and undergraduate success initiatives focused on STEM will be invited. A key goal of the virtual conference series is to share state of the art scholarship on the use of intersectionality in higher education and the transformative potential of intersectionality as inquiry and praxis for equity metrics and developing effective strategies for advancing student success.Intersectionality as inquiry and praxis has a long genealogy in both academic and practitioner communities. Yet, the power of intersectionality has not been brought to scale for catalyzing enduring and system-wide equity transformations in equity metrics and distribution of resources in higher education. The long-term goal of HSI-ICPSS is to build capacity for intersectionality as inquiry and praxis as a new gold standard in higher education equity metrics for distribution of resources. The HSI-ICPSS project will result in three written products for each participating HSI: 1) Data Policy Brief outlining institutional consensus values, current data collection and analytical strategies and alternatives that center intersectionality inquiry for equity impact; 2) Action Plan describing their theory of change, stakeholder engagement, anticipated roadblocks, as well as practical solutions in their intersectional community of practice; and 3) Communication Strategy outlining updates to websites and university-wide institutional equity reports on admissions, retention, graduation, including undergraduate STEM degrees. The HSI Program aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education and build capacity at HSIs. Projects supported by the HSI Program will also generate new knowledge on how to achieve these aims.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.

高等教育机构通常使用一维指标来定义服务不足的学生群体，例如第一代大学身份，PELL接受者，拉丁裔，非裔美国人血统和美洲原住民血统和性别。然而，研究表明，仅按种族、性别或阶级报告高等教育成果不足以记录和消除不平等现象。 交叉性或关注种族，性别，阶级和其他不平等轴的宪法，在给定的社会历史背景下，作为分析上不同的和同时的系统，是一个强大的工具，使不平等可见，并帮助高等教育机构创造有效的行动，促进本科生在STEM及其他领域的成功。HSI Intersectionality Community of Practice for Student Success（HSI-ICPSS）项目将通过虚拟会议系列将25个HSI聚集在一起，进行为期一年的实践社区。它将召集参与的HSI举行四次为期半天的会议。主要利益相关者，包括教师，工作人员和其他领导人在公平和包容性和本科生成功的举措专注于干将被邀请。虚拟会议系列的一个主要目标是分享在高等教育中使用交叉性的最先进的奖学金和交叉性的变革潜力，作为调查和实践的公平指标，并制定有效的战略，以促进学生的成功。交叉性作为调查和实践在学术界和实践界都有很长的家谱。然而，交叉性的力量还没有达到催化高等教育公平指标和资源分配的持久和全系统公平转变的规模。HSI-ICPSS的长期目标是建立交叉性的能力，作为调查和实践，作为高等教育公平衡量资源分配的新黄金标准。HSI-ICPSS项目将为每个参与的HSI提供三个书面产品：1）数据政策简报，概述机构共识价值，当前数据收集和分析战略以及以公平影响为中心的交叉性调查的替代方案; 2）行动计划，描述其变革理论，利益相关者参与，预期障碍以及交叉实践社区的实际解决方案;和3）沟通战略概述更新网站和大学范围内的机构公平报告的招生，保留，毕业，包括本科STEM学位。HSI计划旨在加强本科STEM教育，并建立HSI的能力。HSI计划支持的项目也将产生关于如何实现这些目标的新知识。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。
