NSF'S Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Coordination Hub: Harnessing the Power of Liberatory Design for Equity-Driven Systems Change

NSF的Eddie伯尼采约翰逊的INCLUDES倡议激励和加速了系统变革的协作基础设施建设，扩大了STEM的参与。INCLUDES倡议投资的一个关键部分是建立和加强国家网络。这个国家网络是一个机构，组织，个人和项目的合作，共同设计，实施，研究，完善和扩大合作变革模式和战略。NSF的Eddie伯尼采约翰逊包括协调中心（该中心）领导和支持国家网络成员进行能力建设，开发和共享知识，并建立联系，以促进STEM系统变革的协作基础设施的使用。该中心激发了创新的解决方案，以应对深层次的挑战，并扩大了什么是可能的愿景。该中心的工作催化了一场运动，采取切实可行的步骤来转变政策、实践、关系、方法和心态，以扩大对STEM的参与，支持INCLUDES倡议关于STEM劳动力的愿景，反映国家的多样性。该中心使用解放性的设计框架，支持INCLUDES资助的项目，分享学习成果，并促进全国网络的连接。该中心是INCLUDES资助的联盟和协作变革联盟孵化器的骨干，测试新概念，实践和政策。该中心采用专题方法进行公平驱动的系统变革;扩大和提升边缘化群体的声音和经验;采取整体方法进行共享措施，包括定性和定量数据和讲故事;并采用战略研究和沟通。该中心的工作正在发展和加强国家网络，使其成为一个充满活力的生态系统和国家资源，以明显扩大对STEM的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

NSF’s Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Initiative motivates and accelerates collaborative infrastructure building for systems change that broadens participation in STEM. A key part of the INCLUDES Initiative investment is building and strengthening a National Network. This National Network is a collaboration of agencies, organizations, individuals, and projects working together to design, implement, study, refine, and scale up collaborative change models and strategies. NSF’s Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Coordination Hub (the Hub) leads and supports National Network members in building capacity, developing and sharing knowledge, and making connections to advance the use of collaborative infrastructure for systems change in STEM. The Hub inspires innovative solutions to deep-seated challenges and expands the vision of what is possible. The Hub’s work catalyzes a movement that takes actionable steps to transform policies, practices, relationships, approaches, and mindsets to broaden participation in STEM in support of the INCLUDES Initiative vision of a STEM workforce that reflects the diversity of the nation.Using a liberatory design framework, the Hub supports INCLUDES-funded projects, shares learnings, and facilitates connections across the National Network. The Hub serves as a backbone for an incubator of INCLUDES-funded Alliances and Collaborative Change Consortia that tests new concepts, practices, and policies. The Hub employs a thematic approach to equity-driven systems change; amplifies and elevates the voices and experiences of marginalized populations; takes a holistic approach to shared measures, including qualitative and quantitative data and storytelling; and employs strategic research and communications. The Hub’s work is growing and strengthening the National Network into a vibrant ecosystem and national resource for demonstrably broadening participation in STEM.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.
