The National Alliance for Inclusive and Diverse STEM Faculty (NAIDSF) is an NSF INCLUDES Alliance which intends to increase the learning, persistence, and completion of students from underrepresented groups (URG) in STEM throughout postsecondary education, and thereby increase their contributions to the U.S. STEM enterprise. Broadening participation in the STEM workforce will bring diverse perspectives, improving our nation's ability to solve complex social challenges, and expanding the technological and innovation-based economy. The Alliance's overarching strategy is to improve professional development and hiring practices of STEM faculty across three interactive change strategies at institutional, regional, and national levels. To facilitate Institutional Change, NAIDSF will help institutions examine their practices for recruiting, hiring, and retaining URG faculty; enhance faculty inclusive practices; develop action plans to increase diversity among STEM faculty; provide resources to help implement needed reforms; and provide training for the next generation of diverse institutional leaders. Recognizing that career pathways for faculty at 2-year colleges often occur within regional ecosystems, NAIDSF's Regional Change initiative will build Regional Collaboratives of 2-year colleges, 4-year regional universities, local research universities, and the private sector--all collectively developing and onboarding more faculty who are skilled in teaching diverse student populations and increasing the number of diverse faculty in the 2-year colleges where many URG students begin higher education. NAIDSF will seek National Change by partnering with disciplinary, URG-focused, and professional development organizations to align faculty disciplinary experiences with their institutional experiences that are fostered through the Alliance's Institutional and Regional Change initiatives. Together, these efforts will create and advance national systemic change for STEM faculty, STEM departments, disciplinary societies, and institutional leadership.Anchored by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) and the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL), over 50 universities, three regional collaboratives (Iowa, California, and Texas), and more than 35 cross-sector partners have already committed to collectively achieving the Alliance goals. Using collective impact to work across sectors (diverse institutional types and disciplinary societies) as well as across systems (institutional leaders, departments, faculty, and professional development systems), the Alliance aims to enhance the use of inclusive practices to increase the diversity of the national STEM faculty at the institutional, regional, and national levels. Goals will be evaluated through a comprehensive plan providing both formative and summative assessments within the change streams and across the Alliance. A set of common metrics will be used to align activities and foci across the Alliance. NAIDSF includes both research and evaluation teams assessing the Alliance's theories of change, immediate impacts, and feeding back on collaborative processes. Integrating CIRTL's success in shared leadership decision-making and APLU's engagement with multiple groups of institutional leaders, the leadership team will develop and share Alliance policies, coordinate activities across workstreams, and engage with leaders of partnering and related efforts. Connecting the entire project, the Alliance backbone will coordinate and integrate activities and provide a multifaceted communications structure. Alliance programming is designed to be modular, portable, and adaptable, making it both accessible and sustainable at both institutions and disciplinary groups that vary in size, resources, and mission.This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is co-funded by the NSF's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program, which targets increasing the number of historically underrepresented minority faculty in STEM disciplines.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.

全国包容性和多样化的STEM教师联盟（NAIDSF）是NSF包括联盟，该联盟旨在增加教育后教育中代表不足的群体（URG）的学习，持久性和完成学生的学习，持久性和完成，从而增加了他们对美国STEM STEM企业的贡献。扩大对STEM劳动力的参与将带来不同的观点，提高我们国家解决复杂的社会挑战的能力，并扩大基于技术和创新的经济。该联盟的总体战略是在机构，地区和国家一级的三种互动变革策略中改善STEM教师的专业发展和雇用实践。为了促进机构变革，NAIDSF将帮助机构研究其招聘，招聘和保留URG教师的做法；增强教师包容性实践；制定行动计划，以增加STEM教师之间的多样性；提供资源来帮助实施所需的改革；并为下一代不同的机构领导人提供培训。 NAIDSF的区域变革计划认识到经常在区域生态系统中发生的两年年级大学教师的职业途径，将建立2年大学，四年制区域大学，本地研究大学和私营部门的区域合作，所有这些都集体发展和熟练地在教学的学生中熟练地教育多样化的教育，其中许多人口较高的教育和多样化的学生数量增加了2年的多样化，而这是2年级的多样化的人群。 NAIDSF将通过与纪律，以URG为中心的专业发展组织合作，寻求全国变革，以使教师的纪律经验与通过联盟的机构和区域变革计划促进的机构经验保持一致。这些努力将共同为STEM教师，STEM部门，纪律社会和机构领导力创造并推动民族系统性变化。由公共和土地友好大学协会（APLU）协会（APLU）和研究，教学和学习（CIRT）的整合中心（CIRT），超过50多个大学协作（IOWA），与三个地区协作（IOWA）相互交流，以及更多的派别（IOWA），以及更多35个大学，以及更多的派别。联盟目标。该联盟利用集体影响来跨部门（不同的机构类型和纪律社会）以及跨系统（机构领导者，部门，教师和专业发展系统）的跨部门，旨在增强包容性实践的使用，以增强机构，地区和国家层面的国家STEM教师的多样性。将通过一项全面计划来评估目标，从而在变更流以及整个联盟中提供形成性和总结性评估。一组通用指标将用于整个联盟的活动和焦点。 NAIDSF包括评估联盟的变化，直接影响和协作过程中的联盟理论的研究和评估团队。将CIRTL的成功整合到共享的领导决策和APLU与多个机构领导者的互动中，领导团队将制定和共享联盟政策，协调跨工作流的活动，并与合作伙伴和相关工作的领导者互动。连接整个项目，联盟主干将协调和集成活动，并提供多方面的通信结构。联盟节目旨在具有模块化，便携式和适应能力，使其在规模，资源和任务的机构和学科群体中既易于访问又可持续。该NSF包括联盟，包括NSF联盟由NSF联盟共同获得研究生教育和教授（agep）计划，以增加历史悠久的人数，该计划的数量不足，该计划的数量不足，该计划的差异是备受纪念活动的序言。 NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持。
