Conference: Privileged Logics: Interrogating Foundations and Practices in Research Ethics

科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)的特权无处不在，在科学家的工作假设和研究实践中引入了偏见，包括他们如何教育和指导下一代。本次会议将聚集STEM和负责任的研究行为(RCR)教育界的不同群体，以提高对这些问题的认识，产生有用的概念来理解这些问题，并确定广泛适用的解决这些问题的建议，这些建议建立在包容性指导和研究伦理中已经存在的其他有希望的做法的基础上。该项目通过扩大对研究中特权的负面影响的了解，并确定减轻这些影响的有效策略，促进了科学中的公平和公平，与NSF的使命保持一致。研究团队的目标是组建一个专家网络，他们希望利用会议的想法制定一个标准的ER2提案，以产生伦理和负责任研究(ER2)的新主题，以及STEM研究和RCR培训的新标准。为了确保会议的广泛参与和活跃的对话，研究小组将向该地区历史上的黑人学院和大学(HCBU)以及为代表不足的群体提供服务的学术和社区团体发出邀请。会议将有一位主旨演讲者，除了同时举行的研讨会会议外，还将围绕纠正STEM研究中的特权造成的偏见的成功战略进行研讨会对话。该小组将直接将会议摘要分发给更多的受邀者以及实际的会议参与者。摘要将在一年内在定性数据储存库存档。会议结束后，研究团队将在网上发布总结，并保持至少一年的开放博客，以鼓励与会者之间持续联系，分享想法，报告活动，并发展长期合作关系。这一奖项反映了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。

Privilege in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is pervasive, introducing bias into scientists’ working assumptions and research practices, including how they educate and mentor the next generation. This conference will gather a diverse group from the STEM and responsible conduct in research (RCR) education communities to raise awareness about these issues, generate useful concepts for understanding them, and identify broadly applicable recommendations for addressing them that build on inclusive mentoring and other promising practices that already exist in research ethics. This project promotes fairness and equity in science, in alignment with NSF’s mission, by expanding knowledge about the negative impacts of privilege in research and identifying effective strategies for mitigating them. The research team’s team goal is to assemble a network of experts who want to develop a standard ER2 proposal using ideas from the conference to generate new topics in ethical and responsible research (ER2) and new standards for STEM research and RCR training. To ensure broad participation and robust conversations at the conference, the research team will target invitations to historically Black colleges and universities (HCBUs) in the region and to academic and community groups serving underrepresented groups. The conference will feature a keynote speaker to focus workshop conversations around successful strategies for remedying biases resulting from privilege in STEM research, in addition to concurrent workshop sessions. The team will disseminate the conference summary directly to the larger group of invitees, as well as to the actual conference participants. The summary will be archived within one year at the Qualitative Data Repository. After the conference, the research team will post the summary online and maintain an open blog for at least one year to encourage ongoing contact among participants to share ideas, report on activities, and develop long-term collaborative relationships.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.
