Catalyzing the STEM enterprise to work collaboratively for inclusive change, is the goal of the NSF INCLUDES program. Proposals includes alliances, demonstration pilots, and conferences/workshops organized into cohorts, depending on funding date. This work is in line with NSF’s mission to promote the progress of science. The long-term effect of the national network is a STEM workforce that reflects the population of the Nation. While current INCLUDES alliances each have made progress and can demonstrate impact of their individual goals, continuing to work independently will fall significantly short of the combined potential. This project believes that the alliances can come significantly closer to reaching overall INCLUDES program goals by building synergy and collaboration of activities across the alliances. Numerous interactions among Cohorts 1 and 2 leaders have led to the formation of the INCLUDES Community Alliance that proposes a 2-day virtual workshop to bring together and engage all three INCLUDES Alliance cohorts to leverage the collective knowledge, lessons learned, and specific activities to accelerate change in broadening STEM participation (BP) in realizing NSF’s bold vision. The proposed virtual two-day workshop will further capitalize on the synergy generated in the 2021 convening of the INCLUDES Alliance collective. The organization of the workshop will use an inclusive, participatory approach. There will be full involvement of the Alliance team during pre-conference and post-conference interaction. Attendees and the planning group include members of the CAHSI INCLUDES’ backbone team, NSF INCLUDES program officers and two representatives from of the INCLUDES Alliance Community team. The planning group invitees were selected based on those who have the breadth and depth of experience in and knowledge of working with complex systems to achieve bold goals and objectives. Ultimately, an equitable representation of network members will be present in order to ensure outcomes are usable and appropriate. The Alliances will select which representatives they would like to represent them as there may be emergent leaders who are not in a leadership role. The event needs representatives who have an overview of how all the parts of the alliance and its goals fit together in order to best determine how each alliance might relate to others. Discussions are ongoing to finalize the agenda and guiding questions, as well as who would be best at presenting at the event. Additionally, the external evaluator and thought leaders have experience working with STEM projects of this magnitude and complexity.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.

NSF INCLUDES 计划的目标是促进 STEM 企业合作实现包容性变革，该计划包括联盟、示范试点以及根据资助日期组织的会议/研讨会。这项工作符合 NSF 的促进使命。国家网络的长期影响是反映国家人口的 STEM 劳动力，而当前的联盟每个都取得了进展，并且可以展示其各自的影响。该项目认为，通过在联盟 1 和 2 领导者之间建立活动的协同作用和协作，联盟可以更加接近实现总体目标。导致了 INCLUDES 社区联盟的成立，该联盟提议举办为期 2 天的虚拟研讨会，将所有三个 INCLUDES 联盟群体聚集在一起并参与其中，以利用集体知识、经验教训和具体活动来加速变革扩大 STEM 参与（BP）以实现 NSF 的大胆愿景。拟议的为期两天的虚拟研讨会将进一步利用 INCLUDES 联盟集体会议所产生的协同作用。研讨会的组织将采用包容性、参与性的方式。联盟团队将全面参与会前和会后互动。与会者和规划小组包括 CAHSI INCLUDES 骨干团队 NSF 的成员。 INCLUDES 计划官员和 INCLUDES 联盟社区团队的两名代表是根据那些在使用复杂系统方面拥有广泛和深入的经验和知识来选择的，最终实现了一个公平的目标。网络成员的代表将出席，以确保结果可用且适当，联盟将选择他们想要代表的代表，因为可能有不担任领导角色的新兴领导者。所有部分的概述联盟及其目标相互配合，以便最好地确定每个联盟与其他联盟的关系，以最终确定议程和指导性问题，以及谁最适合在活动中发言。此外，还包括外部评估者和想法。领导者拥有参与如此规模和复杂性的 STEM 项目的经验。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
