Workshop on Assessing Performnce and Developing an Accountability System for Broadening Participation

这一奖项授予宾夕法尼亚大学，为评估绩效和开发问责制度以扩大参与度提供支持。本次研讨会将召集科学与工程机会平等委员会(CEOSE)成员和来自联邦机构、高等教育机构、基金会和非营利组织以及营利性组织的专家进行为期一天半的讨论、集思广益、分析和规划，以建立一个问责制度，以衡量扩大代表不足群体参与STEM的努力的成功程度。它将于2016年10月在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的NSF总部举行。智力价值本研讨会将综合各机构、基金会和组织目前所做的工作，以衡量它们支持扩大参与的努力的成功程度，并分享新的方法，以更好地衡量/评估扩大参与的努力。该项目旨在回应欧洲经委会提交给国会的2015-2016两年期报告中提出的建议，即通过制定和传播基于证据的问责制度来促进扩大参与，从而为扩大参与制定适当的业绩衡量标准。更广泛的影响本项目的资源和成果将加强联邦机构的工作，使个别受赠人和机构(特别是高等教育机构)对与扩大参与和实现扩大参与目标有关的投资负责。最终，这次研讨会的结果将有利于STEM社区。这些有益成果包括查明和讨论在STEM领域增加妇女劳动力人口、任职人数不足的群体和残疾人的挑战、障碍和做法。此外，讲习班的资源还将有助于包括评价领域在内的多个社区。

AbstractThis award to the University of Pennsylvania provides support for workshop on Assessing Performance and Developing an Accountability System for Broadening Participation. This workshop will convene a group of Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering (CEOSE) members and experts from federal agencies, institutions of higher education, foundations, and nonprofit and for profit organizations for one and a half days of discussion, brainstorming, analysis, and planning on building an accountability system to measure the success of efforts to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in STEM. It will be held at the NSF Headquarters, Arlington, VA in October 2016. Intellectual MeritThis workshop will synthesize what agencies, foundations, and organizations currently do to measure the success of efforts they support for broadening participation and share new methods to better measure/assess broadening participation efforts. The project aims to respond to the recommendation made within CEOSE's 2015-2016 Biennial Report to Congress on developing appropriate performance measures for broadening participation by developing and disseminating an evidence-based accountability system to advance broadening participation. Broader ImpactsThe resources and outcomes of this project will enhance the work of Federal agencies in holding individual grantees and institutions (particularly institutions of higher education) accountable for investments made related to broadening participation and for realizing broadening participation goals. Ultimately, the results of this workshop will be beneficial to the STEM community. These beneficial results are those that include the identification and discussion of challenges and barriers to and practices for increasing the workforce population of women, underrepresented group, and people with disabilities in STEM fields. In addition, the resources of the workshop will also be helpful to multiple communities, including the field of evaluation.
