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

该奖项全部或部分根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。该加州西班牙裔服务社会科学进步联盟（CAHSSA）建立和扩大社会科学教师在校外资助的研究与系统性障碍和全面的专业发展规划和政策的检查低参与。三所加州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，以推动影响美国公众健康，繁荣和福利的广泛学科的研究。CAHSSA在HSIs和非HSIs实施NSF社会科学提案审查意见的比较内容分析，以确定社会，行为和经济研究如何在机构类型中构建和实践，并揭示审查过程中存在的任何偏见。结果将告知该项目的干预措施，包括虚拟赠款写作网络研讨会和研讨会，写作小组，密集写作务虚会，以及为700多名CSU和UC社会科学教师和领导人举办的社会科学领导者研讨会。该加州联盟为西班牙裔服务社会科学进步（CAHSSA）将追求在西班牙裔服务机构（HSIs）和少数民族服务机构（MSIs）在校外资助过程中所面临的挑战更好地理解在微观层面上不同的校园类型和在宏观层面上通过审查NSF审查社会科学提案的看法。从近4500人的人才库中，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），写作务虚会（N=60名研究人员）和研讨会（N=100名领导者）。方法包括CSU和UC年度全系统调查，干预前和干预后的参与者评价调查，焦点小组访谈，以及对过去十年中500项提案的赠款审查意见的内容分析。该项目的结果将作为推进教师专业发展和扩大参与科学的新对话的国家模式，通过研究塑造在HSI/MSIs社会科学资助成功的体制因素。干预措施将产生创新的赠款建议，以加强社会科学研究，以及政策和程序的修订，以加强支持社会科学赠款和研究活动在HSIs/MSIs的做法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

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.
