The National Center for Science and Civic Engagement (NCSCE) will conduct a Collaborative Planning project to maximize the collective impact of two well-established national STEM learning networks, National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE Net) and Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities (SENCER). Through a strategic collaboration that leverages their respective achievements, resources, and expertise, the combined networks can advance informal science education that engages and empowers citizens and their communities as they address the complex civic challenges. The project will conduct a strategic planning process to envision how to unify two networks to increase a durable and identifiable infrastructure for cross-sector collaboration focused on linking science and civic engagement. It is supported by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program funds research and innovative resources for use in a variety of settings, as a part of its overall strategy to enhance learning in informal environments. The project objective of the planning process is to create a new and expanded national infrastructure that will increase the capacity of science centers and other informal learning organizations to enhance the public's engagement with science through attention to civic issues, and access new partners, participants, and resources from higher education institutions. The project's core activity will be a three-stage planning process: Phase 1, an assessment of assets, resources, and regional complementarity of the networks, and the development and investigation of key research questions; Phase 2, a planning workshop involving 29 project leaders from both organizations and stakeholders from formal and informal science to identify and develop specific collaborative strategies; and Phase 3, an evaluation and dissemination of the planning results to the networks and the development of a new multi-year project to strengthen the national infrastructure for formal and informal STEM education.

国家科学与公民参与中心（NCSCE）将开展一个合作计划项目，以最大程度地提高两个成熟的国家STEM学习网络，国家非正式STEM教育网络（NISE NETE NET）和科学教育的集体影响，以实现新的公民参与和责任（SENCER）。通过一项战略合作，利用各自的成就，资源和专业知识，合并的网络可以提高非正式的科学教育，从而吸引并赋予公民及其社区，以应对复杂的公民挑战。该项目将进行战略规划过程，以设想如何统一两个网络，以增加持久且可识别的基础设施，用于跨部门协作，重点是联系科学和公民参与。它得到了前进的非正式STEM学习（AISL）计划的资金研究和在各种环境中使用的创新资源，这是其在非正式环境中增强学习的整体策略的一部分。计划过程的项目目标是创建一个新的，扩展的国家基础设施，以提高科学中心和其他非正式学习组织的能力，以通过关注公民问题，并获得高等教育机构的新合作伙伴，参与者和资源来增强公众与科学的参与。 该项目的核心活动将是一个三阶段的计划过程：第1阶段，对网络的资产，资源和区域互补性的评估以及关键研究问题的发展和调查；第2阶段，一个计划研讨会，涉及来自正式和非正式科学的组织和利益相关者的29名项目领导者，以识别和制定特定的协作策略；和第3阶段，对网络的计划结果的评估和传播以及一个新的多年项目的开发，以加强对正规和非正式STEM教育的国家基础设施。
