The National Academy of Sciences will organize a three-meeting workshop series for tech industry, academia, non-profit organizations, and goverment to come together and engage in a sustained dialogue to inform and catalyze systemic action to support current and future women of color in tech. Broadening participation in technology is a national imperative, not only because it is a matter of societal equity and beneficial to innovation, but also because of critical labor market needs. Women of color are underrepresented in tech education, and careers and many years of research has documented that women who identify as African American, Black, Hispanic, Latina, American Indian, Asian American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or of other Pacific Islander face a range of structural and social barriers in tech education and careers. The meeting series will culminate in the development of a systemic action map, co-designed by the participants, that will guide a dynamic systems-change strategy.This three-meeting series will bring together a range of stakeholders across academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations in tech to work together to develop a systemic action map, which will serve as a resource to the broader tech ecosystem in supporting efforts at intersectional gender equity in support of women of color in tech. This meeting series is distinctive in its focus on the creation of a community-built resource to guide a systemic approach that is specific to women of color in tech. The effort is guided by the 2022 National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine consensus study report Transforming Trajectories for Women of Color in Tech. The map will serve as a resource that will visually show where there are opportunities for disruption in the system that can serve as levers for change, as well as identify inhibiting feedback loops that consistently undermine policies, practices, and efforts that seek to support greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in tech but fail to do so meaningfully. At the culmination of the three-meeting series, the systemic action map, and associated report that explains the map and the process for its creation, will be made available as a public resource. The map will guide the development of an implementation plan. This effort will ultimately reveal ways in which stakeholders across tech can work together, or separately, as appropriate, to advance action with the key insights that emerged from the mapping process.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.

美国国家科学院将为科技行业、学术界、非营利组织和政府组织一个由三场会议组成的系列研讨会，聚集在一起进行持续的对话，以告知和促进系统性行动，以支持当前和未来的有色人种女性技术。扩大对技术的参与是国家当务之急，不仅因为它事关社会公平并有利于创新，而且还因为劳动力市场的关键需求。有色人种女性在科技教育和职业中的代表性不足，多年的研究表明，非裔美国人、黑人、西班牙裔、拉丁裔、美洲印第安人、亚裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民的女性面临着技术教育和职业中存在一系列结构性和社会障碍。该系列会议的最终目标是制定一个由参与者共同设计的系统行动图，该地图将指导动态的系统变革战略。这个由三场会议组成的系列会议将汇集学术界、工业界、政府、和科技领域的非营利组织共同努力制定系统性行动图，该地图将作为更广泛的科技生态系统的资源，支持跨性别平等的努力，以支持科技领域的有色人种女性。该会议系列的独特之处在于，它重点关注创建社区构建的资源，以指导专门针对科技领域有色人种女性的系统方法。这项工作以 2022 年美国国家科学、工程和医学院共识研究报告《改变有色人种女性在科技领域的轨迹》为指导。该地图将作为一种资源，直观地显示系统中哪里存在破坏机会，可以作为变革的杠杆，并识别持续破坏寻求支持更大多样性的政策、实践和努力的抑制性反馈循环。 、公平和科技包容性，但未能取得有意义的成果。在三场会议系列的高潮时，系统行动地图以及解释该地图及其创建过程的相关报告将作为公共资源提供。该地图将指导实施计划的制定。这项工作最终将揭示技术领域的利益相关者可以共同或单独工作的方式，以根据绘图过程中出现的关键见解推进行动。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得通过评估获得支持利用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准。
