In order to fully serve a diverse community of researchers, professionals, and educators in the Biological Sciences, the organizational structure of scientific societies and their programmatic decisions should emphasize a culture of community building and inclusive mentoring, alongside of scientific discovery. This project proposes that societies must expand from their “communities of practice”, which center on science, to incorporate “communities of care”, which center on people. The researchers have already developed and tested a three-stage approach for scientific society leadership that includes education, reflection, and guided action planning within this conceptual framework. This project will engage 5 US-based scientific societies in a series of critically evaluated listening sessions, workshops, and events that address both internal structures (society leadership) and external structures (journal and conference organization). Using this approach, the researchers will coordinate the initial implementation and evaluations for actionable opportunities with “community of care”-guided goals in each of these scientific societies. This project encompasses broader impacts by working to change discipline-level cultural values and through its direct support of over 100 scientists from diverse backgrounds and career-stages.This project has already generated buy-in from 5 US-based conference societies and their journals, which demonstrates proof of concept for the Biology community’s commitment to new, evidence-based approaches for inclusion. The guided action planning will draw from the expertise of existing evidence-based strategies developed in informal learning and corporate settings for community building. A major strength of this parallel approach is that it will catalyze a broader movement around proven cultural change methods than a single society can otherwise drive. Using a modular, flexible approach rooted in sociological and psychological peer-reviewed research will allow the researchers to generate support from societies’ leadership and membership who are invested in seeing their communities become more diverse, inclusive, and equitable but do not have the social and emotional tools or abundant resources to do so in a sustainable way.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.

为了充分服务生物科学领域的研究人员、专业人员和教育工作者的多元化社区，科学协会的组织结构及其计划决策应强调社区建设和包容性指导的文化，以及科学发现。该项目建议：社会必须从以科学为中心的“实践社区”扩展到以人为中心的“关怀社区”。研究人员已经开发并测试了科学社会领导力的三阶段方法，包括教育和反思。 ，并在此概念框架内指导行动计划。该项目将让 5 个美国科学学会参与一系列经过严格评估的聆听会议、研讨会和活动，这些会议、研讨会和活动涉及内部结构（学会领导）和外部结构（期刊和会议组织）。该项目通过努力改变学科层面的文化价值观以及对来自不同领域的 100 多名科学家的直接支持，对每个科学协会以“护理社区”为指导目标的可行机会进行初步实施和评估。背景和该项目已经获得了 5 个美国会议学会及其期刊的支持，这证明了生物学界致力于采用新的、基于证据的包容性方法的概念证明。指导性行动计划将借鉴该方法。这种并行方法的一个主要优势是，它能够促进围绕经过验证的文化变革方法的更广泛的运动，而单一社会无法通过其他方式推动这一运动。 ，根植于社会学和心理学的灵活方法同行评审的研究将使研究人员能够获得社会领导层和会员的支持，他们致力于看到自己的社区变得更加多样化、包容和公平，但没有社会和情感工具或丰富的资源来以可持续的方式做到这一点。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
