This project is to convene and conduct a workshop focusing on broadening participation of under-represented groups in the NSF I-Corps program. This workshop builds upon the outcomes from the national Broadening Participation Inclusion Summit and focuses on approaches to increasing diversity and inclusion in the I-Corps Program more regionally. Diversity of all types is critical to ensure America's excellence in science and engineering research and the translation of that research to innovations with economic and societal benefits. This regional Inclusion Summit will help introduce, educate and invite underrepresented communities to become engaged in the I-Corps programs and to grow their participation.This project will bring together pioneers in the fields of inclusiveness and entrepreneurship, and leadership from organizations and institutions serving minorities and underrepresented groups. This project has several key objectives: to continue building on the relationships formed at the inaugural Summit in Fall 2018; the need to focus on broadening this participation at a smaller, regional level; the need to expand to other underrepresented groups, including a greater focus on women and veterans; and an increase in participation both for the I-Corps program and other NSF Programs more broadly. The results of the Summit will increase the participation of underrepresented groups in I-Corps training at the local, regional, and national levels, both at the team and instructor levels; pursuant to that, accelerate the translation of fundamental research to practical applications that will improve the well-being of society; and increase the economic competitiveness of the United States. While this project focuses specifically on the Northeast region of the United States for now, its impact and lessons learned can be replicated to other parts of the Nation.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.

该项目旨在召开并举办一次研讨会，重点关注扩大 NSF I-Corps 计划中代表性不足群体的参与。本次研讨会以国家扩大参与包容性峰会的成果为基础，重点讨论在区域范围内增加 I-Corps 计划多样性和包容性的方法。所有类型的多样性对于确保美国在科学和工程研究方面的卓越性以及将研究转化为具有经济和社会效益的创新至关重要。此次区域包容性峰会将帮助介绍、教育和邀请代表性不足的社区参与 I-Corps 计划并提高他们的参与度。该项目将汇集包容性和创业领域的先驱以及服务少数群体的组织和机构的领导层和代表性不足的群体。该项目有几个关键目标： 继续巩固 2018 年秋季首届峰会上建立的关系；需要注重在较小的区域层面扩大这种参与；需要扩大到其他代表性不足的群体，包括更加关注妇女和退伍军人；以及更广泛地参与 I-Corps 计划和其他 NSF 计划。峰会的结果将增加代表性不足的群体在地方、区域和国家各级（无论是团队还是教练层面）对 I-Corps 培训的参与；据此，加快基础研究转化为实际应用，以改善社会福祉；并提高美国的经济竞争力。虽然该项目目前专门针对美国东北部地区，但其影响和经验教训可以复制到美国其他地区。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力评估进行评估，认为值得支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
