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.

描述（由申请人提供）：大量的时间，金钱和努力一直致力于实现在STEM培训和研究职业的代表性公平，但成功的指标已经混合。2007年“理解鼓励少数群体从事研究职业的干预措施”讲习班的与会者指出，为推进以研究为基础的干预措施，从而使STEM职业中的个人多样化，必须完成以下任务：持续审查干预措施研究;制定适当的研究问题;为有效的干预措施研究方法提供技术援助;鼓励社区干预研究人员。在他们之前组织的三次理解干预会议的基础上，长岛大学和美国科学促进协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。长期目标是增加在STEM研究职业中代表性不足的少数群体的数量;目标是提供场所和平台，以促进完成2007年确定的任务所需的工作。该项目意义重大，因为它将推进“确定促成因素和做法”，这些因素和做法决定了干预措施在增加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）传播干预措施研究的场所; B）研究人员/从业人员互动和合作的机会; （C）建立一个机制，讨论基于研究的干预措施在不同模式、阶段和地点的实施情况。一个增强的和互动的理解干预网站将提供更多的理解干预（UI）社区的联系，以及一个可访问和可搜索的基于互联网的干预研究文章和资源的注释数据库;两者都将扩大参与研究的传播。每季度一次的在线/电子邮件通讯，提炼和传播研究结果，发展机会和一般公告，将提供一个额外的平台，传播干预措施的研究。影响高等教育的社会/行为科学和学生事务专业协会和组织，如美国大学教授协会，美国州立学院和大学协会和美国大学协会，将被添加到年度会议名单中，他们将收到通讯。实现这些目标将大大增加研究 基于干预措施的社区，其联系，其影响范围，从而有助于实现增加在STEM研究事业中代表性不足的少数群体的数量的目标。
