Workshop Proposal: Field Safety Management Workshop Series: Summer 2019; Boulder, CO

实地调查是国家和国际大学正在进行的研究方案的组成部分，主要是在STEM领域，特别是在地球科学方面。因此，研究团队和个人被安排在不同的实地情况下。有组织的研究和轶事报道都表明，各种骚扰行为，无论是性骚扰行为，还是基于性别、种族、族裔或能力的骚扰行为，都是实地运动中的一个重大问题。2013年对来自科学和社会科学领域的32个学科的实地科学家进行的一项调查确定，这些行为往往是从权力结构的最高层指向更初级的同事。随后对实地工作经验进行的一项研究得出的结论是，在实地研究和培训中缺乏行为标准和行为规则的清晰度，导致骚扰的发生率更高。这些研究还表明，在外地遭受骚扰的大多数人不知道如何或向谁报告，说明需要制定明确的指导方针。在这里，我们建议开发一个以现场团队为重点的文化和风险管理研讨会计划，旨在培养技能和工具，以提高研究道德，创建跨人口统计学的更安全的现场工作环境，并防止未来的骚扰。ii.本研讨会提案的目标是设计、实施和评估以现场工作为导向的文化建设研讨会计划，旨在通过促进尊重、公平和无歧视的环境来减少骚扰。这项培训的重点将是发展知识和人际交往技能，以防止在与世隔绝的外地环境中出现骚扰和降级情况，包括进行旨在改善团队文化和人际沟通以及促进分享经验的练习；建立适用于具体次级学科实地工作的双方都能接受的准则和标准，包括行为守则；建立正式和非正式支助方案的技术；以及更加熟悉外地安全协议、实地工作危害和应急规划及相关资源。为了确保方案的相关性和影响力，它将包括：(1)可为不同类型的实地考察和研究活动量身定做的共同核心方案；(2)纳入主动学习和基于情景的组成部分。培训将满足所有参与者的需求，包括团队领导、团队成员和个人研究人员。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。

I. Field-based investigation is an integral part of the ongoing research programs at both national and international universities, largely in the STEM fields and in the earth sciences in particular. As a result, research teams and individuals are placed in a diverse set of field situations. Both organized studies and anecdotal reports suggest that a variety of harassment behaviors, whether sexual in nature or based on gender, race, ethnicity or ability, are a significant problem in field campaigns. A 2013 survey of field scientists from 32 disciplines from the science and social science arenas determined that these behaviors tend to be directed from the top of the power structure to more junior colleagues. A subsequent study on fieldwork experiences concluded that a lack of clarity regarding standards of conduct and rules for behavior in field research and training resulting in greater incidence of harassment. These studies also revealed that the majority of people experiencing harassment in the field did not know how or to whom to report, illustrating the need for clear guidelines. Here we propose to develop a field-team focused culture and risk management workshop program designed to foster skills and tools that will improve research ethics, create safer field working environments across demographics, and prevent future harassment.II. The goal of this workshop proposal is to design, implement and evaluate a fieldwork-oriented culture building workshop program aimed at reducing harassment by promoting a respectful, equitable, and discrimination-free environment. This training will focus on the development of knowledge and interpersonal skills to prevent harassment and de-escalate situations in isolated field environments, including exercises designed to improve team culture and interpersonal communication and to foster shared experiences; the establishment of mutually-acceptable guidelines and standards appropriate to fieldwork for the specific subdiscipline, including codes of conduct; techniques to establish formal and informal support programs; and increased familiarity with field safety protocols, fieldwork hazards and emergency response planning and associated resources. To ensure that the program is relevant and impactful, it will include (1) a common core program that can be customized for different types of fieldwork and research activities; and (2) incorporation of active learning and scenario-based components. The training will address the needs of all participants, including team leader, team member and individual researcher.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.
