DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dr. Mary (Molly) Carnes at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is an ideal candidate for the Pathfinder Award. Her innovative research has already led to changes in practices that promote workforce diversity in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM). Implicit stereotype-based biases habitually - even if unintentionally - influence decision-making in ways that disadvantage individuals from groups underrepresented in STEMM. As a Pathfinder, Dr. Carnes will develop an interactive, experiential, case-based computer game that will teach faculty to recognize and self-correct implicit stereotype-based biases. This approach is based on the proven impact of game-based learning on attitudes, behaviors, and social interactions in several fields including medical education and counseling. This approach is also informed by research showing that organizational change depends on attitudinal and behavioral changes in members of the organization - in this case STEMM faculty. The potential for groundbreaking impact is supported by reports stating that the aggregate impact of implicit biases may constitute the greatest impediment to the full participation and advancement in STEMM of ethnic and racial minorities, people with disabilities, and women. While game-based learning is a clear departure from Dr. Carnes's past research, the proposed work shares the hallmarks of her previous endeavors: integrating multiple streams of research; involving multi- disciplinary collaborators; designing theoretically-informed, evidence-based interventions that can be rapidly translated into practice; and incorporating evaluation and modification in iterative, problem-solving cycles. The proposed research is highly innovative in that it approaches implicit stereotype-based bias in decision-making as a remediable habit, targets faculty who are the drivers of institutional change, and uses game-based learning strategies to design authentic experiences that can help faculty break the bias habit. With Dr. Carnes's past history of successful, high-impact research, she is ideally suited to utilize the Pathfinder Award to achieve new and important breakthroughs to increase STEMM workforce diversity.

描述（由申请人提供）：威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的玛丽（莫莉）卡恩斯博士是探路者奖的理想候选人。她的创新研究已经导致了练习的变化，从而促进了科学，技术，工程，数学和医学（STEMM）方面的劳动力多样性。隐性刻板印象习惯性地偏见 - 即使无意间 - 以不利于STEMM中代表性不足的群体的个人的方式影响决策。作为探路者，卡恩斯博士将开发一种互动，经验，基于案例的计算机游戏，该游戏将教师识别和自我校正基于刻板印象的偏见。这种方法基于在包括医学教育和咨询在内的多个领域的态度，行为和社交互动对基于游戏的学习对态度，行为和社交互动的可靠影响。研究还通过研究表明，组织变革取决于组织成员的态度和行为变化 - 在这种情况下，在这种情况下，Stemm教师。报道说，隐性偏见的总影响可能构成对全部参与和进步的种族和种族少数民族，残疾人和妇女的干扰的最大障碍。虽然基于游戏的学习与卡恩斯博士过去的研究明显不同，但拟议的工作具有她以前的努力的标志：整合了多个研究流；涉及多学科合作者；设计理论上有证据的基于证据的干预措施，可以快速翻译成实践；并在迭代，解决问题的周期中纳入评估和修改。拟议的研究具有很高的创新性，因为它将基于隐性刻板印象的偏见作为一种可补充的习惯，目标是成为机构变革的驱动力的教师，并使用基于游戏的学习策略来设计可帮助教师休息的真实经验偏见习惯。凭借卡恩斯博士过去的成功，高影响力研究的历史，她非常适合利用探路者奖，以实现新的重要突破来增加STEMM劳动力多样性。
