Critical modern scholarship argues that discipline-based education research (DBER), such as chemistry education research (CER), is limited in its theoretical underpinnings and focuses on deficit-based methodologies. To promote a more equitable and inclusive scientific community that embraces and supports scientists from marginalized groups, the project team will design and implement a virtual conference to bring together Chemistry Education Research (CER) scholars and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) experts from within chemistry and other fields to enhance the capacity of CER scholars to carry out research and teaching centered on DEI practices. This conference will include presentations, workshops, and share-out sessions to learn, acquire tools, and build the capacity for scholars to enact equity-centered practices in research and teaching.To address critical DEI issues permeating the chemistry education field, the virtual conference will include 1) presentations by invited DEI research experts from various STEM disciplines, 2) working sessions to explore research methods and identify future directions of DEI-focused CER, and 3) share-out sessions. Participants will reflect on their own experiences and the climate in the field. Attendees will reflect on the ethics of studying students from marginalized groups, learn about research methods that move beyond deficit-model frameworks, and identify changes to improve the climate in the field and to ensure that scholars from marginalized groups are supported. This conference will encompass three main pillars to: (1) promote chemistry education practices centered around equity principles, (2) demonstrate how DEI principles can inform chemistry education research, and (3) break down academic silos to facilitate interdisciplinary knowledge sharing and skill building. Equity is central to these issues and permeates through all three pillars. The conference organizers will utilize a community organizing framework and strategies to inform the design of conference activities that will draw community members together to build capacity to enact DEI practices within the chemistry education community and motivate action. An external evaluator will assess the success of the project and assist the project team in understanding how attendees use their learning and the supports provided by the conference to begin to break down barriers.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.

批判现代奖学金认为，基于纪律的教育研究（DBER），例如化学教育研究（CER），其理论基础受到限制，并侧重于基于赤字的方法。为了促进一个更加公平和包容的科学界，该社区拥抱和支持边缘化群体的科学家，项目团队将设计和实施虚拟会议，以将化学教育研究（CER）学者和多样性，公平性和包容性（DEI）组合在一起，来自化学和其他领域的专家，以提高CER学者的能力，以提高研究和教学为中心的DEI练习。 This conference will include presentations, workshops, and share-out sessions to learn, acquire tools, and build the capacity for scholars to enact equity-centered practices in research and teaching.To address critical DEI issues permeating the chemistry education field, the virtual conference will include 1) presentations by invited DEI research experts from various STEM disciplines, 2) working sessions to explore research methods and identify future directions of DEI-focused CER, and 3) share-out会议。参与者将反思自己的经历和该领域的气候。与会者将反思来自边缘化群体的学生的伦理，了解超越赤字模型框架的研究方法，并确定变化以改善现场的气候，并确保支持边缘化群体的学者。这次会议将包括以下三个主要支柱：（1）促进以公平原则为中心的化学教育实践，（2）证明DEI原则如何为化学教育研究提供信息，（3）分解学术筒仓以促进跨学科知识共享和技能建设。公平是这些问题的核心，并在所有三个支柱中渗透。会议组织者将利用社区组织框架和策略来告知会议活动的设计，这些活动将使社区成员共同建立能力，以在化学教育社区中制定DEI实践并激励行动。外部评估者将评估项目的成功，并协助项目团队了解与会者如何利用他们的学习以及会议提供的支持以开始打破障碍。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的审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
