This project aims to serve the national interest by providing targeted workshop training to increase understanding of the process of crafting proposals to the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program, as well as other programs in the Education and Human Resources (EHR) directorate of NSF. The workshop will target psychology departments from institutions of higher education (IHE) in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic portions of the United States, with a focus on institutions that have historically served students from populations currently underrepresented in STEM fields of study. Additionally, the psychology departments and IHE to be targeted for workshop attendance will be those who are either new to NSF funding or have had limited NSF funding in the past, as the goal of this project is to increase the number and quality of IUSE submissions coming from psychology departments who have yet to be active in seeking such support. The workshop will provide information, mentoring, and activities designed to aid potential principal investigators on their path to IUSE proposal submission. One of NSF targeted goals is to access the “Missing Millions” of individuals who have potential for STEM education and workforce engagement, but have not, as of yet, been actively engaged in that educational or career path. This project plans on addressing those needs by creating a peer mentoring environment of psychology faculty from the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic portions of the United States that will develop through workshop preparation, delivery, and follow-up. The targeted IHE will be those that serve a high percentage of students from populations who are underrepresented in their participation in STEM. These institutions are likely to be new or relatively new to NSF funding. The workshop will be designed to build a cohort of potential PIs with shared experiences who are already conducting research that is aligned with the goals of IUSE, but have, to date, not made use of such funding to advance their research. Through the delivery of information, along with scaffolding the proposal writing experience for attendees, it is expected that cross institutional collaborations as well as individual or departmental submissions to the IUSE program will increase. The process will be evaluated and the findings of how to increase submissions will be disseminated both to NSF as well as to and through other psychology associations (e.g., the American Psychological Association.) The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Institutional and Community Transformation track, the program supports efforts to transform and improve STEM education across institutions of higher education and disciplinary communities.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.

该项目旨在通过提供有针对性的研讨会培训来为国家利益提供服务，以提高对NSF制定建议的进程的了解，并改善了教育和人力资源教育和人力资源（EHR）NSF的其他计划。该研讨会将针对美国东南部和中大西洋地区高等教育机构（IHE）的心理学部门，重点关注的是，这些机构历来为来自目前在STEM研究领域中代表性不足的人群提供服务的机构。此外，心理学部门和IHE将成为NSF资助的新手或过去的NSF资金有限的人，因为该项目的目的是增加来自心理学部门的IUSE申请的数量和质量，而这些项目的数量和质量尚未积极寻求这种支持。该研讨会将提供旨在帮助潜在的首席研究人员的信息，心理和活动。 NSF的目标目标之一是访问具有STEM教育和劳动力参与潜力但尚未积极参与这一教育或职业道路的“缺失数百万”的个人。该项目计划通过从美国东南部和中大西洋地区创建心理学教师的同伴心理环境来满足这些需求，这些环境将通过研讨会的准备，交付和随访来发展。有针对性的IHE将是那些为来自人群中大部分人群的人数不足的人提供的人的参与。这些机构可能是NSF资金的新事物或相对较新的。该研讨会将旨在建立一系列潜在的PI，并具有共同的经验，这些经验已经进行了与IUSE的目标保持一致的研究，但迄今为止，迄今为止并没有利用此类资金来推进他们的研究。通过提供信息，以及为与会者提供提案写作经验的脚手架，预计跨机构合作以及对IUSE计划的个人或部门提交的内容将会增加。将评估该过程，并将如何增加提交提交的发现将被传播给NSF，以及其他心理学协会（例如美国心理学协会）。通过机构和社区转型的轨道，该计划支持努力在高等教育和纪律社区的机构中转变和改善STEM教育的努力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来审查标准，被视为通过评估来获得支持。
