Astronomy has been making strides in increasing the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups. Several recommendations and strategies for broadening participation, especially of women in astronomy, have arisen from conferences dedicated to the subject. The "Inclusive Astronomy" conference and workshop will be held in June 2015 at Vanderbilt University. The focus of the workshop is on providing resources and advocating for inclusion of astronomers who identify with more than one underrepresented category, e.g. gender, race, disability, etc. The conference will cover topics including barriers to access; creating inclusive climates; inclusion and access to leadership, power, and decision making; and establishing a community of inclusive practice. The discussions will result in the astronomical community being better informed of research on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and in a set of recommendations that administrators, faculty, and the research community can use as a roadmap to improve the participation of all in astronomy. This award supports the conference travel and subsistence of a total of about 30 students and early-career researchers who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

天文学在增加传统上代表性不足的群体的参与方面取得了长足的进步。专门讨论该主题的会议提出了一些扩大参与（尤其是女性参与天文学）的建议和策略。 “包容性天文学”会议和研讨会将于 2015 年 6 月在范德比尔特大学举行。研讨会的重点是提供资源并倡导将那些认同多个代表性不足类别的天文学家纳入其中，例如天文学家。会议将涵盖的主题包括：性别、种族、残疾等。创造包容性气候；包容性和获得领导、权力和决策的机会；并建立一个包容性实践社区。这些讨论将使天文学界更好地了解有关多样性、公平性和包容性的研究，并提出一系列建议，供管理人员、教师和研究界使用作为路线图，以提高所有人对天文学的参与。该奖项为总共约 30 名学生和早期职业研究人员提供会议旅行和生活费，否则他们将无法参加会议。
