This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports research to understand how socioeconomic heterogeneity within the U.S. scientific workforce impacts scientific discovery and innovation. The project aims to (i) create a unique individual-level dataset linking researcher socioeconomic backgrounds to scholarly topics, (ii) make an anonymized version of this dataset publicly available, (iii)...
This $112,765 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research initiative between four Texas Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). The project aims to address the chronic underfunding and infrastructural disparities faced by HSIs compared to other higher education institutions. Key objectives include: 1) conducting research focused on creating opportunities across demographic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $750,167 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (UM) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The grant will support a longitudinal, mixed-methods study examining the impact of academic climate factors, such as authorship climate and the COVID-19 pandemic, on career outcomes and professional pathways for early-career STEM scholars, particularly those from marginalized groups. The study will build on prior survey...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop a visual tool to promote inclusivity in STEM environments. The $623,267 award will fund research using an iterative design process to create a tool for countering racial microaggressions experienced by underrepresented minority students in STEM settings. The tool, called the STEM Educator Series on Student Interactions (SESSI), will be grounded in psychological...
This $399,994 National Science Foundation project grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of California Santa Cruz from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The research aims to evaluate past efforts integrating initiatives focused on Ethical, Legal and Social Implications and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion issues into science and engineering research projects in genomics, neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Through content...
This $288,779 National Science Foundation project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research at the University of Iowa from September 2022 through August 2024 to advance understanding of gender gaps in academic science. The interdisciplinary team will analyze publication records of over 90 million researchers worldwide to develop novel topic fit indices measuring subject congruence between new collaborations and existing work. These indices...
This $119,690 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) supports the "Creating Inclusive Scientific Societies through Policies and Practices" (CRISSPP) project. The project brings together the University of Michigan, University of Connecticut, and University of North Texas to develop, implement, and evaluate evidence-based guidelines and practices for scientific organizations, starting with the field of psychology, to promote inclusion and minimize systemic exclusion. The project will conduct climate surveys, construct interventions including transparency audits, toolkits, and educational workshops, and assess the impact on organizational climate and members' sense of belonging. The guidelines, practices, and lessons learned will be shared with the American Psychological Association's Division 9 and up to nine additional partner organizations, reaching over 20,000 members. This award reflects the NSF ADVANCE program's objective to foster gender equity by addressing organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of diverse faculty in academic institutions.
