This award will fund a workshop (place and dates to be determined) to develop policies and best practices to deal with sexual harrassment associated with field research. While many institutions and organizations are revisiting their policies and practices regarding sexual harassment, there remains a gap in attention to policies and best practices specifically tailored to the remote and isolated nature of the field environment. Institutions lack policy on response to the acute safety issues caused by harassment in remote settings, as well as guidance on jurisdiction for potential responses,This workshop will: (1) open a dialogue between sexual harassment experts and the field research community to develop best practices and recommendations; (2) build coordination and encouraging consistency in policy setting and enforcement across field stations and oceanographic platforms; (3) develop processes to monitor the reporting of sexual harassment instances occurring at remote field locations; and (4) promote a safe culture for scientists conducting research at remote field stations and on oceanographic vessels. Participants will include sexual harassment experts, leadership from academic research institutions, research stations, and ship operators, field researchers, technical/crew managers, and representation from member associations. The recommendations will be broadly distributed at appropriate scientific meetings and associations.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.

该奖项将资助一个研讨会（应确定的地点和日期），以制定政策和最佳实践，以应对与现场研究相关的性骚扰。尽管许多机构和组织都在重新审视有关性骚扰的政策和实践，但关注政策和最佳实践的关注仍然存在，专门针对现场环境的遥远和孤立性质量身定制。机构缺乏对远程骚扰引起的急性安全问题的反应政策，以及有关潜在响应管辖权的指导，该研讨会将：（1）开设性骚扰专家与现场研究社区之间的对话，以开发最佳实践和建议； （2）建立协调并鼓励在政策制定和跨场地和海洋平台的执法中建立一致性； （3）开发过程以监视偏远野外地点发生的性骚扰实例的报告； （4）为在偏野外和海洋船上进行研究的科学家促进一种安全的文化。参与者将包括性骚扰专家，学术研究机构，研究站的领导力以及船运营商，现场研究人员，技术/工作人员经理以及成员协会的代表。这些建议将在适当的科学会议和协会中广泛分发。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论标准来评估值得支持的。
