This $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Washington from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The fellowship will support a research project and professional development plan examining micro inclusions in technology workplaces to increase gender diversity.

The principal investigator will test whether respectful treatment and inclusion of women's contributions improves organizational outcomes like job satisfaction and retention. A survey will assess experiences of micro inclusions from managers and correlate them with employee metrics. Experiments will distinguish effects of micro inclusions from other positive behaviors. An intervention will aim to increase managers' use of micro inclusions, demonstrating a strategy to supplement diversity efforts. Findings could offer insights on culture change. The fellowship directly supports the NSF STEM Education program's goal of advancing fundamental and applied research in STEM education and related fields.
