This collaborative research project, involving Michigan State University, the University of North Texas and the University of Michigan, will examine whether epistemic exclusion, a form a scholarly devaluation, may create a barrier to the full inclusion and participation of women and faculty of color in STEM. Epistemic exclusion is the devaluation of certain types of scholarship that occurs when invisible biases in systems of evaluation are coupled with prejudice toward, and negative stereotypes about, historically underrepresented groups. Because faculty members' career outcomes (e.g., promotion, tenure, and turnover intentions) are determined by how well they meet evaluative standards, bias in systems of evaluation that disproportionately harm women and faculty of color may impede their retention and advancement in academia. The project team will create and validate a scale assessing faculty epistemic exclusion. Results of the project have the potential to benefit society by providing a tool that researchers can use to investigate epistemic exclusion in STEM faculty. Advancing this line of research may result in potential interventions and policy changes at institutions of higher education that improve the retention and promotion of women and underrepresented minority STEM faculty at our nation’s colleges and universities. There is a plan for dissemination to scholarly audiences through peer-reviewed presentation and publications in professional journals that will help inform the research and academic communities. This project is supported by the EHR Core Research (ECR) program, which supports work that advances fundamental research on STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development. The ECR program supports the accumulation of robust evidence to inform efforts to understand, build theory to explain, and suggest intervention and innovations to address persistent challenges in STEM interest, education, learning and participation. The project was co-funded by the NSF ADVANCE program which supports the implementation of organizational change strategies to address systemic inequities that impact women in STEM faculty careers. The project was also funded by the Alliances for Graduate Education and Professoriate (AGEP) program, which funds projects designed to advance knowledge about increasing the number of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native American Indians, Native Hawaiians and Native Pacific Islanders in STEM faculty careers.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.

这个由密歇根州立大学、北德克萨斯大学和密歇根大学合作的研究项目将研究认知排斥（一种学术贬值的形式）是否可能对女性和有色人种教师的充分融入和参与造成障碍。 STEM 认知排斥是指当评估系统中的无形偏见与对历史上代表性不足的群体的偏见和负面刻板印象相结合时，某些类型的学术贬值，因为教师的职业成果（例如晋升、终身教职、和离职意向）取决于他们满足评估标准的程度，评估系统中的偏见对女性和有色人种教师造成了不成比例的伤害，可能会阻碍他们在学术界的保留和进步。项目团队将创建并验证评估教师认知排斥的量表。该项目的结果有可能造福社会，因为研究人员可以使用该工具来调查 STEM 教师的认知排斥，推进这一研究可能会导致高等教育机构采取潜在的干预措施和政策变化，从而提高保留率和晋升率。妇女的我们国家的学院和大学中代表性不足的少数族裔 STEM 教师有一项计划，通过同行评审的演讲和专业期刊上的出版物向学术受众传播，这将有助于为研究和学术界提供信息。该项目得到了 EHR 核心研究的支持。 (ECR) 计划，支持对 STEM 学习和学习环境的基础研究、扩大 STEM 参与以及 STEM 劳动力发展的工作进展。 ECR 计划支持积累强有力的证据，为理解、建立理论解释和发展提供信息。建议干预和创新，以解决 STEM 兴趣、教育、学习和参与方面持续存在的挑战。该项目由 NSF ADVANCE 项目共同资助，该项目支持实施组织变革战略，以解决影响 STEM 教师职业项目的系统性不平等问题。还得到了研究生教育和教授联盟 (AGEP) 计划的资助，该计划资助旨在提高非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民印第安人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民在 STEM 教员职业生涯中的数量的项目。奖通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
