DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Significant time, money, and effort have been dedicated to achieving equity in representation in STEM training and research careers, yet the indicators of success have been mixed. Attendees of the 2007 Understanding Interventions That Encourage Minorities to Pursue Research Careers Workshop pointed out the tasks that must be accomplished to advance research-based interventions and thus the diversification of individuals in STEM careers: on-going review of interventions research; development of appropriate research questions; technical assistance for effective intervention research methodologies; encouragement of a community of intervention researchers. Building on their prior organization of three Understanding Interventions conferences, Long Island University and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, propose a five-year (7/1/2012- 6/30/2017) Understanding Interventions Project. The long-term goal is to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in STEM research careers; the objectives are to provide venues and platforms to promote the work needed to accomplish the tasks delineated in 2007. The project is significant because it will advance the "identification of contributing factors and practices" that determine interventions' effectiveness in increasing underrepresented minorities in STEM research careers. An annual conference will provide: A) a venue for dissemination of interventions research; B) opportunities for researchers/practitioners to interact and collaborate; C) a mechanism for discourse on research-based interventions' implementation across modalities, stages and venues. An enhanced and interactive Understanding Interventions website will provide additional linkage of the understanding interventions (UI) community as well as an accessible and searchable internet-based annotated database of Interventions research articles and resources; both will expand the dissemination of broadening participation research. A quarterly online/email-based newsletter that distills and disseminates research findings, development opportunities, and general announcements will provide an additional platform for dissemination of interventions research. Social/behavioral sciences and student affairs professional societies and organizations such as the American Association of University Professors, American Association of State Colleges and Universities, and American Association of Universities that influence higher education will be added to the annual conference list and they will receive the newsletter. Achieving the objectives will significantly increase the research based interventions community, its linkages, and its sphere of influence and thereby assist in achieving the goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in STEM research careers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed Understanding Interventions project will organize annual conferences, enhance the existing understandinginterventions.org website, and issue a quarterly online newsletter to promote the translation of interventions scholarship to practice and foster interaction between communities of research and practice.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了实现 STEM 培训和研究职业中代表性的公平性，我们投入了大量的时间、金钱和精力，但成功的指标却好坏参半。 2007 年理解鼓励少数群体从事研究职业研讨会的与会者指出了推进基于研究的干预措施以及个人在 STEM 职业生涯中的多样化必须完成的任务：对干预研究的持续审查；制定适当的研究问题；有效干预研究方法的技术援助；干预研究人员社区的鼓励。在之前组织的三场理解干预会议的基础上，长岛大学和美国科学促进会提出了一个为期五年（2012 年 7 月 1 日至 2017 年 6 月 30 日）的理解干预项目。长期目标是增加 STEM 研究职业中代表性不足的少数群体的数量；其目标是提供场所和平台，以促进完成 2007 年规定的任务所需的工作。该项目意义重大，因为它将推进“确定影响因素和实践”，从而确定干预措施在增加 STEM 研究职业中代表性不足的少数群体方面的有效性。年度会议将提供： A) 传播干预研究的场所； B) 研究人员/从业人员互动和合作的机会； C) 跨模式、阶段和场所实施基于研究的干预措施的讨论机制。增强的交互式理解干预网站将提供理解干预（UI）社区的额外链接，以及可访问和可搜索的基于互联网的干预研究文章和资源注释数据库；两者都将扩大广泛参与研究的传播。基于在线/电子邮件的季度通讯，提炼和传播研究成果、发展机会和一般公告，将为传播干预研究提供另一个平台。影响高等教育的美国大学教授协会、美国州立学院和大学协会、美国大学协会等社会/行为科学和学生事务专业学会和组织将被添加到年会名单中，并收到简讯。实现目标将显着增加研究 社区、其联系及其影响范围，从而有助于实现增加 STEM 研究职业中代表性不足的少数群体数量的目标。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的理解干预项目将组织年度会议，增强现有的 UnderstandingInterventions.org 网站，并发布季度在线通讯，以促进干预学术成果转化为实践，并促进研究和实践社区之间的互动。
