DCL: NSF INCLUDES Conference Grant

美国国家科学基金会（NSF）在全国范围内纳入工程和科学领域代表性不足的发现者学习者社区（NSF包括）倡议支持模型，网络，伙伴关系和研究，以确保扩大妇女，历史上代表性不足的种族和族裔群体成员，社会经济地位低下的人，和残疾人。辛辛那提大学，领导一个三州（俄亥俄州，肯塔基州，印第安纳州）项目，将召集一个三-为期一天的会议，召集国家和地方专家，探讨在使用社会创新模式的背景下支持骨干组织发展的最佳做法，扩大参与STEM。 其目的是加强参与者之间的网络，并利用学习辛辛那提努力的经验，在中西部和超越的集体影响。结果从NextLivesHere：社会变革创新峰会，将通过大辛辛那提干协作（GCSC和俄亥俄州干学习网络（OSLN）在三州地区传播。 国家传播将通过非正式和正式的STEM专业组织和出版物以及通过参与国家科学基金会开发的国家骨干组织进行。

The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) intiative supports models, networks, partnerships and research to ensure the broadening participation in STEM of women, members of racial and ethnic groups that have been historically underrepresented, persons of low socio-economic status, and people with disabilities.The University of Cincinnati, lead for a tri-state (OH, KY, IN) project, will convene a three-day conference to convene national and local experts to explore the best practices that support the development of a backbone organization in the context of using a social innovation model for broadening participation in STEM. The intent is to strengthen the network among participants and leverage learning from the Cincinnati Strive experience with collective impact across the Midwest and beyond.Results from the NextLivesHere: Social Change Innovation Summit, will be disseminated in the tri-state region through the Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative (GCSC and the Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN). National dissemination will occur through informal and formal STEM professional organizations and publications as well as through participation in the NSF-developed national backbone organization.
