This NSF INCLUDES Conference on Engaging and Retaining Women Veterans in the STEM Workforce is created in response to the NSF INCLUDES program's Dear Colleague Letter (DCL): Supporting the Re-Entry of Women and Women Veterans in the STEM Workforce through NSF INCLUDES (NSF 19-038). The Education Development Center (EDC) will develop and host this convening to address the unique barriers and opportunities for women veterans, particularly those from populations underrepresented in STEM fields, to (re)engage in the STEM workforce. While much is known about the needs of veterans and the transition from service to civilian life, including the specific needs of women veterans, there is still much work to be done to ensure that those who have served the United States can leverage their experiences and leadership expertise into economic opportunities. This convening will raise awareness and provide information to advance services to women veterans and the STEM workforce by providing an opportunity for the various stakeholders to review and analyze the body of knowledge that currently exists, stimulate new ideas and development, and facilitate collaboration across the different stakeholder groups and efforts aimed at helping women veterans transition to civilian life and careers. This convening will bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers; leadership representing universities and community colleges, nonprofit organizations, and federal agencies that serve veterans; and women veterans to address issues through an intersectional lens. The multi-stakeholder group will take a comprehensive approach toward bringing actionable change toward strengthening the pipeline from service to STEM for women veterans. The goals of this convening will be to (1) synthesize the disparate constellations of services available to women veterans, especially those regarding STEM workforce reentry, (2) develop products and publications that will galvanize industry and academia to approach veteran workforce reentry with renewed purpose, and (3) inspire transformative innovation through thoughtful and wide-reaching dissemination of these products. The effort will ultimately lead to a comprehensive report and webinar series that will further the national dialogue about the importance of policies and programs to support women veterans in seeking greater economic opportunities through STEM work.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NSF包括有关NSF的响应NSF的STEM劳动力中参与和保留妇女退伍军人的会议的会议，包括计划的亲爱的同事信（DCL）：支持通过NSF通过NSF在STEM劳动力中的妇女和妇女退伍军人的重新加入（NSF 19-038）。教育发展中心（EDC）将开发和主持此召集，以解决女性退伍军人的独特障碍和机会，尤其是STEM领域中人口不足的女性，以（重新）参与STEM劳动力。尽管对退伍军人的需求以及从服务到平民生活的过渡，包括女退伍军人的特定需求，但仍有很多工作要做，确保那些服务于美国的人可以将自己的经验和领导专业知识纳入经济机会。这次召集将提高认识，并为向女性退伍军人和STEM劳动力提供服务，通过为各种利益相关者提供机会审查和分析当前存在的知识，刺激新的思想和发展的知识，并促进各个利益相关者团体的合作，并促进旨在帮助妇女向民用生活和护理人员过渡的妇女对妇女的退伍军人的努力。这次召集将召集研究人员，从业人员和政策制定者；代表大学和社区学院，非营利组织以及为退伍军人服务的联邦机构的领导力；和妇女退伍军人通过交叉镜头解决问题。多方利益相关者团体将采取一种全面的方法来实现可行的变化，以加强从服务到女性退伍军人的茎的管道。这次召开的目标将是（1）综合妇女退伍军人可用的服务的不同服务，尤其是那些有关STEM劳动力重新进入的服务，（2）开发产品和出版物，这些产品和出版物将使行业和学术界充满活力，以使退伍军人的劳动力重新进入，并通过重新启发了通过重新进行的创新产品来激发人们的启发，并且（3）启发了这些产品的影响力和大型的范围，这些产品是这些范围内的，这些势力是这些范围的这些，这些势力遍布这些范围。这项努力最终将导致全面的报告和网络研讨会系列，该系列将进一步就政策和计划的重要性进行全国性对话，以支持女退伍军人通过STEM工作寻求更大的经济机会。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影响的评估来审查审查的审查标准，这是值得通过评估来支持的。
