Collaborative Research: Build and Broaden 2.0: California Alliance for Hispanic-serving Social Science Advancement (CAHSSA)

该奖项全部或部分由《2021年美国救援计划法案》（公法117-2）资助。加州拉美裔服务社会科学进步联盟（CAHSSA）通过对系统性障碍和全面的专业发展规划和政策的审查，建立并扩大了社会科学教师在校外资助研究中的低参与度。加州三所大学之间的合作伙伴关系将为28个不同规模的西班牙裔服务机构（hsi）提供服务，并代表加州州立大学（CSU）和加州大学（UC）系统中独特的区域因素。该项目的成果将作为一个模型，推动影响美国公众健康、繁荣和福利的广泛学科的研究。CAHSSA对hsi和非hsi的NSF社会科学提案审查意见进行了比较内容分析，以确定社会、行为和经济研究是如何跨机构类型构建和实践的，并揭示审查过程中存在的任何偏见。结果将告知项目的干预措施，包括虚拟拨款写作网络研讨会和研讨会，写作小组，密集写作务虚会，以及700多名科罗拉多州立大学和加州大学社会科学教师和领导者的社会科学领袖研讨会。加州拉美裔社会科学进步联盟（CAHSSA）将通过对NSF审稿人对社会科学提案的看法的审查，在不同校园类型的微观层面和宏观层面上，对拉美裔服务机构（HSIs）和少数族裔服务机构（MSIs）的社会科学家在校外资助过程中所面临的挑战进行更深入的了解。从近4500人的池中，pi从22个加州州立大学（CSU） HSI校区和6个加州大学（UC） HSI校区招募了700多名社会科学研究人员和领导者，参加虚拟网络研讨会和研讨会（N=500名研究人员），写作小组（N=160名研究人员），写作静修（N=60名研究人员）和研讨会（N=100名领导者）。方法包括科罗拉多州立大学和加州大学的年度系统调查，干预前和干预后的参与者评估调查，焦点小组访谈，以及对过去十年500份提案的拨款审稿人评论的内容分析。该项目的成果将作为一个国家模式，通过研究影响hsi / msi社会科学资助成功的制度因素，促进教师专业发展和扩大参与科学的新对话。这些干预措施将产生创新的赠款建议，以加强社会科学的研究，并修订政策和程序，以加强支持社会科学研究所/社会科学研究所的社会科学赠款和研究活动的做法。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). The California Alliance for Hispanic-Serving Social Science Advancement (CAHSSA) builds and broadens the low participation of social science faculty in extramurally funded research with an examination of systemic barriers and comprehensive professional development programming and policies. The partnership between three California universities will serve 28 Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) of various sizes and representing unique regional factors in the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC) systems. The outcomes of this project will serve as a model to advance research in wide-ranging disciplines that impact the health, prosperity, and welfare of the US public. CAHSSA implements a comparative content analysis of NSF social science proposal review comments at HSIs and non-HSIs to identify how social, behavioral, and economic research is constructed and practiced across institutional types as well as reveal any existing biases in the review process. Results will inform the project's interventions that include virtual grant writing webinars and workshops, writing groups, intensive writing retreats, and social science leader seminars for more than 700 CSU and UC social sciences faculty and leaders. The California Alliance for Hispanic-Serving Social Science Advancement (CAHSSA) will pursue a greater understanding of the challenges faced by social scientists at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) in the extramural funding process at the micro-level within varied campus types and at the macro-level through the examination of NSF reviewer perceptions of social science proposals. From a pool of nearly 4500, the PIs recruit more than 700 social sciences researchers and leaders from 22 California State University (CSU) HSI campuses and six University of California (UC) HSI campuses to participate in virtual webinars and workshops (N=500 researchers), writing groups (N=160 researchers), writing retreats (N=60 researchers), and seminars (N=100 leaders). Methods include CSU and UC annual systemwide surveys, pre- and post-intervention participant evaluation surveys, focus group interviews, and content analysis of grant reviewer comments on 500 proposals over the prior ten years. The results of this project will serve as a national model for advancing a new dialogue on faculty professional development and the science of broadening participation by studying institutional factors that shape social science grant success at HSIs/MSIs. The interventions will produce innovative grant proposals to enhance research in the social sciences as well as the revision of policies and procedures to strengthen practices that support social sciences grant and research activity at HSIs/MSIs.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.
