Integrating into research design and analysis new perspectives on the ways in which biological and social categories intersect and overlap has led to discovery and innovation across numerous disciplines. It also promotes rigorous, reproducible and responsible science and technology. For example, car safety systems were dramatically improved to increase injury protection for women after national car crash data were separated for male and female drivers and female car crash dummies were introduced to account for the effect of acceleration on sex-specific biomechanics. To reap the benefits of the perspectives this approach offers in science and engineering research, it is essential that three pillars of academic research infrastructure coordinate efforts. This project brings together researchers and administrators at universities, journal editors, and funding agencies in two international workshops. The pair of workshops will share perspectives and resources across the U.S. and Canadian communities with the aim of fostering iSGDA in computer science and engineering research. Much progress has been made recently incorporating intersectional sex, gender, and diversity analysis (iSGDA) into medicine, health, and life science research. The workshops will draw from those models where relevant and focus on fields that are lagging behind. Attendees will include researchers from all areas of computer science and engineering, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, natural language processing, mechanical, civil, and other engineering. The long-term goals of the workshops are to: conceptualize methodologies for integrating iSGDA into research design, processes, analysis, and interpretation of research results; disseminate methods to researchers and staff across research institutions, funding agencies, and peer-reviewed journals; train the current and next generation of researchers who serve as peer reviewers for funding agencies, journals, and hiring, tenure, and promotion committees, and train faculty on best practices for incorporating these methods into core courses in their 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.

将生物和社会类别相交和重叠方式的研究设计和分析整合到研究设计和分析中，导致了许多学科的发现和创新。它还促进了严格，可重现和负责任的科学与技术。例如，在男性和女司机分开国家车祸数据后，引入了汽车安全系统，以提高女性的伤害保护，并引入了女性车祸假人，以说明加速对性别特异性生物力学的影响。为了获得这种方法在科学和工程研究方面提供的好处，至关重要的是，三个学术研究基础设施的支柱必须协调努力。该项目汇集了两个国际研讨会的大学，期刊编辑和资助机构的研究人员和管理人员。 这对研讨会将在美国和加拿大社区分享观点和资源，以促进计算机科学和工程研究中的ISGDA。 最近，已将交叉性，性别和多样性分析（ISGDA）纳入医学，健康和生命科学研究的情况已取得了很多进展。 这些研讨会将从相关的模型中汲取灵感，并专注于落后的领域。 与会者将包括来自计算机科学和工程各个领域的研究人员，包括人工智能，机器学习，机器人技术，自然语言处理，机械，民用和其他工程。研讨会的长期目标是：将ISGDA整合到研究设计，过程，分析和研究结果的方法中概念化方法；向研究机构，资助机构和同行评审期刊的研究人员和员工传播方法；培训当前和下一代的研究人员，他们担任资助机构，期刊以及招聘，任期和晋升委员会的同伴审阅者，并培训教师的最佳实践，以将这些方法纳入其学科中的核心课程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定法规使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估值得支持的。
