Collaborative Research: Conference: Strategies to Mitigate Implicit Bias and Promote an Ethos of Care in the Research Enterprise: A Convening

本项目旨在发展鼓励高等教育研究机会和扩大参与的方法。会议的主题是关怀文化。对护理的关注使研究企业重新认识到机构是如何由系统和结构以及个人组成的。目标是找到加强实践和流程的方法，以促进代表性不足的研究人员的研究机会，并确保美国在面对全球挑战时保持竞争力和敏捷性。本次会议是一个全国性的专业协会，美国地理学家协会（AAG），一个新兴的研究机构，科罗拉多大学科罗拉多斯普林斯分校（UCCS）和一个研究企业组织，国家研究发展专业人员组织（NORDP）的合作伙伴关系。总之，这些组织能够很好地将可扩展的实践催化到不同的机构和组织环境中，特别是在少数群体服务和新兴研究机构中。会议将包括三组参与者：研究企业专业人士、高等教育机构的领导者和早期职业教师。参与者将被分成3人一组（或三人组），每组有一名成员。三联体将：1)探索研究人员在引导或支持研究企业方面的生活经验；2)推荐有望扩大和加强研究企业劳动力的实践。会议的目标是使研究企业领域的从业者能够涵盖知识发现和对研究实践和知识生产的伦理、政治、经济和情感方面的批判性反思。最终，会议将提供拓展视野和扩大研究企业能力的机会，以加强和改进科学。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This project aims to develop ways to encourage access and broaden participation in research in higher education. The conference draws upon the topic of a culture of care. A focus on care reorients the research enterprise towards recognizing how institutions are made of systems and structures, as well as individuals. The goal is to find ways to enhance practices and processes that will facilitate the research opportunities of underrepresented researchers and ensure the U.S. remains competitive and agile in the face of global challenges. This conference is a partnership between a national professional society, the American Association of Geographers (AAG), an Emerging Research Institution, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, (UCCS) and a research enterprise organization, the National Organization of Research Development Professionals (NORDP). Together, these organizations are well-positioned to catalyze scalable practices into diverse institutional and organizational contexts, especially at minority-serving and emerging research institutions. The conference will include three groups of participants: research enterprise professionals, leaders in institutions of higher education, and early career faculty. Participants will be placed in groups of 3 (or triads) with a member from each of the three groups. The triads will: 1) explore the lived experiences of researchers in navigating or supporting the research enterprise, and 2) recommend practices that are expected to broaden and strengthen the research enterprise workforce. The goal of the convening is to enable practitioners in the research enterprise field to encompass both knowledge discovery and critical reflection on the ethical, political, economic, and emotional aspects of research practice and knowledge production. Ultimately, the conference will offer opportunities to stretch horizons and expand the capacity of the research enterprise to enhance and improve science.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.
