项目摘要

This award supports the Access Network, a project aimed at substantially improving equity and inclusion in the physical sciences. Formed in 2014, Access is a national network that brings together nine programs that all leverage best practices for serving underrepresented students in Physics and other physical sciences. This award would expand the network from 9 to 15 sites and begin to scale up network activities by identifying and recruiting new sites (particularly from Minority Serving Institutions), building capacity within new sites through an "onboarding workshop", intensively mentoring new sites in their first year, maintaining existing Access Network activities to support a strong intersite-community, and planning and conducting internal and external evaluation to document successes and support sites' sustainability. These activities will enhance the capacity of the network to support both old and new sites, thus allowing the network to reach considerably more students in more effective ways.Access sites are modeled on the nationally-recognized Compass Project at UC Berkeley. Driven by a set of shared principles (e.g., student voice, authentic disciplinary engagement) and a suite of programmatic offerings (e.g., mentorship, model building courses, community events, early research opportunities), each site is tailored to the needs of its unique population, ranging from a large number of Deaf and hard of hearing students at the Rochester Institute of Technology to Black commuter students at Chicago State University. The network supports each site by providing relevant expertise, community support, mentored leadership opportunities, and a set of shared resources.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.

该奖项支持Access Network，该项目旨在大大改善物理科学的股权和包容性。 Access成立于2014年，是一个国家网络，汇集了九个计划，所有这些计划都利用最佳实践来为物理和其他物理科学领域的代表性不足的学生提供服务。该奖项将通过识别和招募新站点（尤其是来自少数族裔服务机构），通过“入职工作坊”在新站点内建立能力，在第一年内指导新站点，在他们的第一年内指导新站点，维持现有的访问网络，以支持强大的互联网和进行内部评估，以支持和计划的情况下，从而在新站点中建立了新站点，从而在新站点内建立了新站点，从而在新站点内建立了新站点，从而在新站点内建立了新站点，从而在新站点内建立了新站点，从而在新站点内建立了新站点。这些活动将增强网络支持新旧网站的能力，从而使网络以更有效的方式吸引更多的学生。访问网站是根据加州大学伯克利分校在全国认可的指南针项目上建立的。 Driven by a set of shared principles (e.g., student voice, authentic disciplinary engagement) and a suite of programmatic offerings (e.g., mentorship, model building courses, community events, early research opportunities), each site is tailored to the needs of its unique population, ranging from a large number of Deaf and hard of hearing students at the Rochester Institute of Technology to Black commuter students at Chicago State University.该网络通过提供相关的专业知识，社区支持，指导的领导机会以及一系列共享资源来支持每个站点。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估的评估来支持的。
