The significance of the global problems faced by the United States as a world leader demand excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Excellence is the result of teams of talented, diverse people working together in an inclusive environment. Currently, the United States is struggling to meet national demand for a greater number and more diverse engagement of STEM academics and workforce professionals. Thanks to two decades of NSF ADVANCE-funded research on organizational change strategies to promote comprehensive and inclusive STEM disciplinary engagement, the struggle to achieve a diverse STEM academic and professional workforce is not because we don’t have evidence-based policies and practices for doing so, but rather the lack of nationally recognized standards to promote the collective awareness, knowledge, and application of these evidence-based policies and practices. However, as of May 2021, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Human Resource Management released their Diversity and Inclusion Standard (ISO:30415; ANSI, 2021). The problem that remains is the mechanism by which awareness, knowledge, and application of the newly released standard will be efficiently and effectively achieved. Professional and disciplinary societies (collectively referred to as “societies”) serve academic institutions and academic-influencing organizations such as accrediting agencies, national laboratories, corporations, and government, and are thus uniquely positioned to model and help facilitate efficient and effective adoption of the ISO standard:30415. Further, because engineers are especially attuned to standards, engineering societies are a primary focus. Thus, this project aims to provide engineering society leaders and stakeholders with ISO:30415 standardization resources and tools, which will drive awareness, knowledge and application of evidence-based inclusive organizational policies and practices. Ultimately, this project will enhance the United States’ STEM excellence and means of addressing the complex problems facing the nation, and the world.The goal of this project is to enhance awareness and adoption of the ISO:30415 Diversity and Inclusion Standards by engineering professional societies which will increase the awareness and adoption of evidence-based organizational policies and practices promoting inclusive disciplinary excellence. The project will engage three target audiences: (1) individuals, (2) organizations, and (3) systems. The project aims to accomplish its goal through a two-phase approach. Phase 1 involves the creation and piloting of a novel, web-based ISO:30415 platform tailored for engineering societies. Phase 2 includes developing and deploying activities to standardize a change process for change leaders. The Inclusive Professional Framework for Societies, a research-informed, evidence-based framework, will be foundational to the standardization of the organizational change process. Expected outcomes include: development of ISO:30415 engineering society web-based platform; engagement of 2 cohorts (up to 15 societies); collection, development, and use of organizational change tools and resources for engineering change leaders. Results will be disseminated through websites, webinars, engineering journals, and society professional conferences. 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. ADVANCE "Partnership" awards provide support for the adaptation and adoption of evidence-based strategies to academic, non-profit institutions of higher education and non-academic, non-profit organizations.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.

美国面临的全球问题的重要性是世界领导者在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）方面要求卓越。卓越是在包容性环境中共同努力的才华横溢，潜水员团队的结果。目前，美国正在努力满足国家对STEM学术界和劳动力专业人士的更多和更多不同参与的国家需求。在NSF二十年的组织变革策略上进行了二十年的预先资助的研究策略，以促进全面和包容性的STEM纪律参与，为实现潜水员STEM学术和专业劳动力而努力并不是因为我们没有基于证据的政策和实践，而是缺乏全国认可的标准来促进这些基于这些证据，了解这些证据，以及这些基于这些证据的政治和应用。但是，截至2021年5月，国际标准化组织（ISO），人力资源管理发布了其多样性和包容性标准（ISO：30415； ANSI，2021）。剩下的问题是新发布的标准的意识，知识和应用的机制将有效，有效地实现。专业和纪律社会（共同称为“社会”）为学术机构和学术影响组织提供服务，例如认证机构，国家实验室，公司和政府，因此在众所周知，可以独特地对ISO标准进行建模并有效地模拟和有效地采用ISO标准：30415：30415。此外，由于工程师特别适合标准，因此工程协会是主要重点。这是该项目旨在为工程社会的领导者和利益相关者提供ISO：30415标准化资源和工具，这将推动基于证据的包容性组织政策和实践的认识，知识和应用。最终，该项目将增强美国的卓越性和解决国家面临的复杂问题的卓越和手段。该项目的目的是通过工程专业社会来提高ISO的认识和采用：30415多样性和包容标准，这些社会将提高循证的基于循证的组织政策和实践的促进分类精明的良好，以提高循证的良好性和采用。该项目将吸引三个目标受众：（1）个人，（2）组织和（3）系统。该项目旨在通过两阶段的方法来实现其目标。第1阶段涉及一个基于网络的ISO：30415平台的创建和试验，适合工程社会。第2阶段包括开发和部署活动，以标准化变更领导者的变更过程。社会的包容性专业框架是一个知识的，基于循证的框架，将是组织变革过程的标准化的基础。预期结果包括：ISO的开发：30415工程协会基于Web的平台；参与2个队列（最多15个社会）；收集，开发和使用组织变革工具和资源，用于工程变更领导者。结果将通过网站，网络研讨会，工程期刊和社会专业会议来传播。 NSF Advance计划旨在通过识别和消除阻碍潜水员教师在学术机构中的全面参与和进步的组织障碍来促进性别平等。抑制公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策，过程，实践以及组织文化和气候中。提前的“伙伴关系”奖项为适应和采用基于循证的策略对高等教育和非学术非营利性组织的学术策略提供了支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的。
