With support from the NSF 2026 Program in the Office of Integrated Activities, Professors Sharp, Cañas-Carrell, Harris, Talley, and Weiser at Texas Tech University, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, are hosting a conference to discuss approaches to improve inclusiveness and diversity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The main goal of the conference is to learn more about why some individuals go into and stay in STEM fields and others do not, and to ultimately assist STEM fields in recruiting, training, hiring, and maintaining a more diverse workforce. The conference brings together community members and researchers from many different fields. The activities focus on exploring research approaches to address issues on human development, relationships, and societal messages with the actual life stories of a diverse group of everyday people. Enriching ideas in #33: #WhyNotMe: STEM Diversity Drivers, the conference engages a variety of multidisciplinary academic and practitioner stakeholders in order to create innovative, actionable research agendas to address the persistent problem of effective involvement of students and researchers from underrepresented minority groups in STEM. The #WhyNotMe: STEM Diversity Drivers framework collects and synthesizes a wide range of narratives to further understanding of both supportive and unsupportive mechanisms that affect the involvement in STEM of individuals from different underrepresented groups. The conference focuses on holistic, developmental, relational, structural, and methodological innovations, with the aims to generate actionable research themes. The conference brings together a multidisciplinary team with a variety of substantive expertise and methodological skillsets. The team will consider the role that factors such as interpersonal relationships, familial support, developmental trajectories, and larger societal messages (e.g., meta-narratives, policies, history) play in supporting and discouraging underrepresented individuals from pursuing STEM. It will also engage with stakeholders to develop innovative methodological approaches to better capture the complex, fluid landscape of diverse representation in STEM. The conference participants will develop specific research themes and facilitate methodological innovations to expand the NSF2026 ideas in #WhyNotMe.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.

在NSF 2026计划在综合活动办公室的支持下，夏普教授，卡纳斯 - 卡雷尔，哈里斯，塔利和韦瑟（Talley）和韦瑟（Talley）和德克萨斯理工大学（Texas Tech University）是西班牙裔服务机构，正在举办一次会议，讨论会议，讨论改善科学，技术，工程，工程和数学（STEM）的包容性和多样性的方法。会议的主要目的是更多地了解一些人为什么进入STEM领域而其他人不这样做，并最终协助STEM领域招募，培训，招聘和维持更多样化的劳动力。会议汇集了来自许多不同领域的社区成员和研究人员。这些活动着重于探索研究方法，以解决每天的潜水者群体的实际生活故事，以解决人类发展，人际关系和社会信息的问题。 ＃33：#WhyNotMe中丰富了想法：STEM多样性驱动力，会议吸引了各种多学科学术和从业者利益相关者，以创建创新的，可行的研究议程，以解决持续存在的问题，以解决学生和研究人员在STEM中少数少数群体中有效参与的持续参与。 #WhyNotMe：STEM多样性驱动因素框架收集并综合了广泛的叙述，以进一步理解影响和不支持的机制，这些机制影响了来自不同代表性不足群体的个体的参与。会议的重点是整体，发展，关系，结构和方法论创新，其目的是为了产生可行的研究主题。会议汇集了一个具有各种实质性专业知识和方法论技巧的多学科团队。该团队将考虑诸如人际关系，家庭支持，发展轨迹和更大的社会信息（例如元叙事，政策，历史）等因素在支持和劝阻代表性不足的个人追求STEM方面发挥作用。它还将与利益相关者互动，以开发创新的方法论方法，以更好地捕获Stem中潜水员代表的复杂，流体景观。会议参与者将开发特定的研究主题，并促进方法论创新，以扩大＃WhyNotMe的NSF2026想法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来诚实地支持支持标准。
