The University of North Texas was awarded a $190,425 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) on July 15, 2024. This 5-year collaborative research project, titled "Creating Inclusive Scientific Societies through Policies and Practices" (CRISSPP), brings together three universities - University of Michigan, University of Connecticut, and University of North Texas - to develop, implement, and assess evidence-based guidelines and practices for scientific organizations (beginning with psychology) to promote inclusion and minimize systemic exclusion. The project will empower these organizations to shape individual members' experiences of inclusion/exclusion and the organization's climate in four critical areas: governance, awards, conferences, and publications. The guidelines, practices, and lessons learned will initially be shared within Division 9 of the American Psychological Association and up to nine additional partner organizations in psychology, reaching over 20,000 members.
