Conference Proposal: 2023 CREST Program / Understanding Interventions Conference

在科学和技术卓越研究中心(CREST)的支持下，该项目旨在召集CREST项目以及学术和实践领域的理解干预社区的研究人员和从业人员。该项目将为各实践和研究社区的成员提供专业发展(讲习班)、干预研究的传播(座谈会、海报会议)以及话语(深入探讨)和培训(讲习班)的场所。此外，该项目将促进联网，以促进不同研究和实践利益攸关方之间的合作机会。这项工作对于指导旨在扩大科学事业参与度的方案的方法、战略和活动具有重要意义。这次为期两天的会议将促进培训、联网和传播与资助的CREST计划网站和干预相关研究有关的工作。预期成果包括利用新开发的STEM社交媒体平台扩大CREST和用户界面社区之间的网络，用户界面影响(包括科学专业发展和职业培训的配对)。我们还期待着除了UI/CREST会议之外，与会者和普通科学界之间的社区建设和交流。CREST/UI联合会议的会议记录和演讲将通过UI Journal、UI Index和UI门户网站进行传播。海报、座谈会和深度潜水的所有摘要都将发表在《UI Journal》的一期会议上。所有演示文稿都将在用户界面门户上提供。科学与技术卓越研究中心(CREST)计划通过建立有效整合教育和研究的中心，为提高少数群体服务机构的研究能力提供支持。该奖项反映了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。

With support from the Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST), this project aims to provide a convening of researchers and practitioners from CREST programs and the Understanding Interventions communities of scholarship and practice. This project will provide venues for professional development (workshops), dissemination (symposia, poster sessions) of interventions research, as well as discourse (deeper dives), and training (workshops) for members across communities of practice and research. In addition, this project will facilitate networking to foster opportunities for collaborations between the various research and practice stakeholders. This work is important to informing the approaches, strategies and activities of programs aimed at broadening participation in science careers. This two-day conference will facilitate training, networking and dissemination of work related to the funded CREST program sites and interventions related research. Expected results include increase networks between CREST and UI communities leveraging the newly developed STEM social media platform, UI IMPACTS (Inclusive Matching for Professional Advancement and Career Training in Science). We also expected community building and communication between participants and the general science community beyond the UI/CREST Conference. The CREST/UI joint conference proceedings and presentations will be disseminated via the UI Journal, UI INDEX, and the UI Portal. All abstracts from posters, symposia and deeper dives will be published in a conference issue of the UI Journal. All presentations will be available on the UI Portal. The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program provides support to enhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research.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.
