This award supports a conference that will inform the design of "backbone" organizations for the NSF INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science) program. NORC at the University of Chicago (an independent research institution that delivers reliable data and rigorous analyses to guide programmatic and policy decisions) and TERC (a nonprofit education research and development organization based in Cambridge, MA, dedicated to improving STEM learning for all) collaborate on Envisioning Impact, a two-part in-person and virtual event that will inform the design of INCLUDES Alliance and National Network backbone organizations. The objectives of the conference are to: (1) facilitate a shared vision of impact for INCLUDES broadening participation projects and program; (2) stimulate discourse on key elements of a shared measurement system for continuous improvement and outcome assessment; and (3) inform decisions on the infrastructure and priority services INCLUDES backbone organizations will provide to assist grantees (and others) in assessing progress towards collective impact. The conference will bring members of three communities together: PIs and evaluators of INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilots; investigators and evaluators of other NSF-supported broadening participation alliances, extension projects, and other collective efforts to support inclusion and diversity in STEM; and members of prior and extant NSF-supported knowledge-networking, collaboratory, and resource network initiatives. Members of these communities will collaborate in two separate events: an in-person, 1.5 day conference, and a follow-on virtual Video Hall that will allow a larger number of participants to engage, over a one week period, in facilitated community discourse around short video narratives produced by each project.

该奖项支持一项会议，该会议将为NSF的“骨干”组织的设计提供信息（包括在工程和科学领域人数不足的发现者的社区中包含在内）计划。芝加哥大学的NORC（一家独立的研究机构，提供可靠的数据和严格的分析，以指导计划和政策决策）和TERC（位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市的非营利性教育研究和发展组织，致力于改善所有人的STEM学习）在设想上的合作，将在Invisioning Impact上合作，将为您提供了一个两部分的内置和虚拟活动，将为您提供了一项Alliance和National Neturniance andiance andiance andiance anderiance anderiance anderiance andiance anderiance anderiance backbone。会议的目标是：（1）促进对影响的共同愿景，包括扩大参与项目和计划； （2）刺激共享测量系统的关键要素的话语，以进行持续改进和结果评估； （3）关于基础设施和优先服务的决定，包括骨干组织将提供帮助受赠人（和其他人）评估集体影响的进展。会议将使三个社区的成员聚集在一起：PIS和包括设计和开发发射器的评估人员；其他NSF支持的扩大参与联盟，扩展项目以及其他集体努力支持STEM的包容和多样性的研究者和评估者；以及先前和现有的NSF支持的知识网络，协作和资源网络计划的成员。这些社区的成员将在两个单独的事件中进行合作：面对面的1.5天会议和一个后续的虚拟视频厅，该厅将使更多的参与者在一周的时间内与每个项目产生的简短视频叙述进行了促进的社区论述。
