SCIENTISTS IN THE FAMILY: ENGAGING BLACK COMMUNITIES IN STEM THROUGH ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE SCIENCE STORIES -IT IS CRUCIAL FOR EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STEM ENTERPRISE TO ASSURE THE CONTINUED TECHNOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES. THIS PROJECT IS UNIQUE BECAUSE OF ITS USE OF FILM AND OTHER VISUAL ASSETS TO EXPLORE STEM IDENTITY, PARTICIPATION, AND ASPIRATION THROUGH A MULTIGENERATIONAL APPROACH FEATURING A BLACK MOTHER, HER FAMILY, AND HER COMMUNITY. THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF FOUR COMPONENTS: A FEATURE-LENGTH DOCUMENTARY, A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EXPERIENCE (SCIENTISTS IN THE FAMILY), A COMPANION DIGITAL PROJECT (30 SHORT-FORM VIDEOS), AND AN INTEGRATED RESEARCH PROJECT. FAMILY NARRATIVES AND ARTIFACTS WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE A WINDOW INTO THE ASPIRATIONS, CHALLENGES, AND OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH CHOOSING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STEM ENTERPRISE AND THEIR IMPACT ON INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES. THIS PROJECT IS POTENTIALLY TRANSFORMATIVE BECAUSE IT CAUSES PEOPLE TO RE-THINK HOW SCIENCE IS REPRESENTED IN INDIVIDUALS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO UNDERSTAND THAT HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF SCIENCE. CONSISTENT WITH NSF?S PILLAR OF ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUSIVITY AND CORE VALUES OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO INCREASE STEM ENGAGEMENT, CURIOSITY, AND BELONGING FOR MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILIES HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN STEM. THE PROJECT ADDRESSES THE FOLLOWING RESEARCH QUESTIONS: 1) TO WHAT EXTENT AND HOW DOES PARTICIPATING IN SITF INCREASE SCIENCE CENTER PARTNERS? EXPERIENCE AND CONFIDENCE IN ENGAGING BLACK FAMILY MEMBERS AND INTEGRATING CULTURALLY RELEVANT PEDAGOGY INTO THEIR STEM-BASED ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING? 2) TO WHAT EXTENT AND HOW DO BLACK FAMILIES PARTICIPATE IN THE SITF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EXPERIENCES, AND IS THE ENVISIONED ?CALL AND RESPONSE? FROM SCREENING TO COMMUNITY EVENTS REALIZED? 3) WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF SITF ON PARTICIPATING YOUTHS? INTEREST, BELIEFS, AND BEHAVIORAL INTENT TOWARD STEM AND STEM-RELATED CAREERS? AND 4) DOES INVOLVEMENT IN SITF IMPACT PARTICIPATING ADULT CAREGIVERS? AWARENESS OF STEM OPPORTUNITIES AND CAREERS AND THEIR INTENTION TO ENCOURAGE THEIR CHILDREN TO FURTHER EXPLORE OR PURSUE THEM? AUDIENCE OUTCOMES ARE ASSESSED THROUGH RETROSPECTIVE PRE/POST SURVEYS, POST SCREENING AND OBSERVATIONAL SURVEYS, AND CREATIVE ARTIFACTS. A CULTURALLY RELEVANT THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK IS USED TO EXPLORE ISSUES OF STEM IDENTITY, BELONGING, AND ENGAGEMENT BY BUILDING KNOWLEDGE THROUGH A TWO-PART SUMMATIVE STUDY CONSISTING OF CROSS-SITE AND CASE STUDY EVALUATIONS. BY ENGAGING STUDENTS TO DISCOVER THEIR HIDDEN SCIENTIST, THE PROJECT WILL HELP UNDERREPRESENTED YOUTH SEE THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES AS PART OF THE STEM ENTERPRISE. THIS TYPE 5, RESEARCH IN SUPPORT OF WIDE-REACHING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH STEM, PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE ADVANCING INFORMAL STEM LEARNING (AISL) PROGRAM, WHICH SEEKS TO ADVANCE NEW APPROACHES TO, AND EVIDENCE-BASED UNDERSTANDING OF, THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF STEM LEARNING IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS. THIS INCLUDES PROVIDING MULTIPLE PATHWAYS FOR BROADENING ACCESS TO AND ENGAGEMENT IN STEM LEARNING EXPERIENCES. 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.

DEVELOPING RESOURCES TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY-RESPONSIVE FAMILY PROGRAM EVALUATION IN INFORMAL STEM LEARNING INSTITUTIONS -THE NEW YORK HALL OF SCIENCE (NYSCI) WILL UNDERTAKE A TWO-YEAR INTEGRATING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE PROJECT THAT WILL BUILD THE CAPACITY OF INFORMAL STEM EDUCATORS TO CONDUCT EVALUATIONS OF FAMILY STEM LEARNING PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH AND RESPONSIVE TO THE PRIORITIES AND INTERESTS OF PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO TEST AND DEVELOP RESOURCES THAT CAN SUPPORT INFORMAL STEM EDUCATORS AND PROGRAM DEVELOPERS IN INTEGRATING MEANINGFUL, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE EVALUATION STRATEGIES INTO FAMILY STEM LEARNING PROGRAMS, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT EDUCATORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING THEMSELVES (A COMMON SCENARIO FOR ONGOING PROGRAMMING IN INFORMAL INSTITUTIONS). THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROCESS, THE RESEARCH TEAM WILL DEVELOP AND TEST EVALUATION STRATEGIES THAT EMPOWER STEM EDUCATORS TO CONDUCT REFLEXIVE AND ITERATIVE EVALUATIONS THAT LEVERAGE AND INTEGRATE CAREGIVER PERSPECTIVES AND FEEDBACK. A RESULTING TOOLKIT, DEVELOPED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF NYSCI?S EXISTING FAMILIES LEARNING TOGETHER PROGRAM, WILL EMPOWER INFORMAL STEM EDUCATORS TO GATHER, INTERPRET, AND APPLY EVIDENCE AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE EXPERTISE OF THE INFORMAL STEM EDUCATION WORKFORCE, THE QUALITY OF THE EXPERIENCES THEY PROVIDE TO LEARNERS, AND THE RICHNESS OF THE EVALUATION DATA AVAILABLE TO PROJECT FUNDERS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL EXTEND AND STRENGTHEN LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN NYSCI, LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PROGRAM EVALUATORS, AND OTHER INFORMAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS THAT WORK WITH LARGELY LATINE, NEW IMMIGRANT SPANISH-SPEAKING POPULATIONS. THE PROJECT WILL MOVE THROUGH FOUR, OVERLAPPING PHASES OF WORK. PHASE 1 OF THE PROJECT WILL BE AN EXPLORATION OF EDUCATOR AND PARTICIPANT ALIGNMENT OF METRICS FOR SUCCESS. USING A PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH APPROACH, RESEARCHERS WILL COLLABORATE WITH A GROUP OF CAREGIVERS THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE NYSCI FAMILY PROGRAM, FAMILIES LEARNING TOGETHER, IDENTIFY THE GOALS AND VALUES OF FAMILY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMMING, POSSIBLE SOURCES OF EVIDENCE OF ITS IMPACT, AND INCLUDE CAREGIVERS IN BOTH THE DESIGN AND EVALUATION PROCESSES AT NYSCI. PHASE 2 WILL INCLUDE SYSTEMATIC AND COLLABORATIVE DATA ANALYSIS AND SENSE-MAKING. TOGETHER WITH STEM PRACTITIONERS AND CAREGIVERS, RESEARCHERS WILL WORK TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL TENSIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO ALIGN PRACTITIONER EXPECTATIONS WITH CAREGIVER VALUES, AGENCY, AND ENGAGEMENT. IN PHASE 3, THE RESEARCH AND PRACTITIONER TEAM WILL DEVELOP RESOURCES THAT BUILD THE CAPACITY OF INFORMAL STEM EDUCATORS TO CONDUCT EVALUATIONS OF THE PROGRAMS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING THEMSELVES, THROUGH COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH CAREGIVERS. THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT, THE RESEARCH AND PRACTITIONER TEAM WILL WORK WITH A GROUP OF FOUR EXPERT ADVISORS TO ENSURE THAT THE STRATEGIES AND RESOURCES CREATED ARE RELEVANT AND FEASIBLE FOR EDUCATORS AT A RANGE OF INSTITUTIONS. PHASE 4 WILL FOCUS ON COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION OF PROJECT FINDINGS AND RESOURCES TO MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS. THIS PROJECT WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT CAREGIVERS FROM 45 QUEENS FAMILIES WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE FAMILIES LEARNING TOGETHER PROGRAM AT NYSCI. THE RESOURCES DEVELOPED WILL HELP TO IMPROVE EVALUATION PRACTICES AND CAPACITY IN OTHER INFORMAL STEM PROGRAM SETTINGS, INCLUDING SCIENCE CENTERS AND CHILDREN?S MUSEUMS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT CONDUCT EVALUATIONS TO IMPROVE THEIR PROGRAMS. THIS INTEGRATING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE ADVANCING INFORMAL STEM LEARNING (AISL) PROGRAM, WHICH SEEKS TO ADVANCE NEW APPROACHES TO, AND EVIDENCE-BASED UNDERSTANDING OF, THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF STEM LEARNING IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS. THIS INCLUDES PROVIDING MULTIPLE PATHWAYS FOR BROADENING ACCESS TO AND ENGAGEMENT IN STEM LEARNING EXPERIENCES. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

STEM EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONAL POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH IN INFORMAL STEM LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS -THE NEW YORK HALL OF SCIENCE (NYSCI), WILL RECRUIT AND SUPPORT TWO POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS, WHO WILL SPEND 24 MONTHS CONDUCTING RESEARCH IN RESIDENCE WITH NYSCI?S DIVERSE STAFF, AUDIENCES, AND LOCAL COMMUNITY. THIS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS AS THEY DEVELOP AND PURSUE INDEPENDENT LINES OF RESEARCH ON EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE INFORMAL STEM LEARNING EXPERIENCES. RESEARCH TRAINING WILL EMPHASIZE PRACTICES FOR CONDUCTING RESEARCH WITH CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE AUDIENCES AND COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH METHODS THAT DIRECTLY ENGAGE STEM PRACTITIONERS AND/OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE RESEARCH PROCESS. FELLOWS WILL BE MENTORED BY BOTH RESEARCH PROFESSIONALS AND INFORMAL STEM PRACTITIONERS, INCLUDING EDUCATORS AND PROGRAM DEVELOPERS, EXHIBIT DESIGNERS, MUSEUM FACILITATORS, AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPERS. THROUGH MENTORING AND PEER-TO-PEER COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS, POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS WILL HAVE RICH OPPORTUNITIES TO GENERATE NEW KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EFFECTIVE, INCLUSIVE PRACTICES IN STEM EDUCATION, AS WELL AS TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS NEEDED TO BUILD AND SUSTAIN PRODUCTIVE, MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH PRACTITIONERS IN INFORMAL STEM LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS WILL LEAVE THE FELLOWSHIP EQUIPPED WITH STRATEGIES FOR CONDUCTING CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AND PRACTICE-RELEVANT RESEARCH THAT THEY CAN APPLY TO FUTURE CAREERS. ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW TO SUPPORT STEM LEARNING FOR DIVERSE AUDIENCES AND IN DIVERSE CONTEXTS DEPENDS UPON RESEARCHERS? METHODOLOGICAL AND THEORETICAL EXPERTISE AND ON THEIR ABILITY TO WORK COMPETENTLY AND COLLABORATIVELY WITH DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN INFORMAL STEM ENVIRONMENTS. MASTERING BOTH SETS OF COMPETENCIES IS CRITICAL TO ENABLING EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS TO BECOME LEADERS IN FIELD-WIDE EFFORTS TO PRODUCE MORE PRACTICE-RELEVANT AND ACCESSIBLE FORMS OF RESEARCH. WITHIN COMPLEX, REAL-WORLD SETTINGS, THE PRACTICE-BASED KNOWLEDGE OF EDUCATORS, DESIGNERS, AND FACILITATORS, AS WELL AS THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ARE INTEGRAL TO THE SUCCESS OF EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS AND INTERVENTIONS. TRAINING IN RESEARCH APPROACHES THAT HONOR DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND WAYS OF KNOWING ? ACROSS CULTURES, DISCIPLINES, AND ROLES WITHIN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ? CAN SUPPORT EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS IN DEVELOPING LINES OF RESEARCH THAT ADDRESS ISSUES OF EQUITY IN STEM LEARNING IN RESPONSIVE AND IMPACTFUL WAYS. POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLARS WILL BE INVITED TO LOCATE THEIR EXISTING RESEARCH INTERESTS RELATIVE TO TWO BROAD AREAS: STEM LEARNING IN INFORMAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, AND BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN INFORMAL STEM LEARNING. THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY NSF?S STEM EDUCATION POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP (STEM ED PRF) PROGRAM WITH CO-FUNDING FROM THE ADVANCING INFORMAL STEM LEARNING (AISL) PROGRAM. THE STEM ED PRF PROGRAM AIMS TO ENHANCE THE RESEARCH KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND PRACTICES OF RECENT DOCTORATES IN STEM, STEM EDUCATION, EDUCATION, AND RELATED DISCIPLINES TO ADVANCE THEIR PREPARATION TO ENGAGE IN FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED RESEARCH THAT ADVANCES KNOWLEDGE WITHIN THE FIELD. THE AISL PROGRAM, SUPPORTS PROJECTS THAT: (A) CONTRIBUTE TO RESEARCH AND PRACTICE THAT CONSIDERS INFORMAL STEM LEARNING'S ROLE IN EQUITY AND BELONGING IN STEM; (B) PROMOTE PERSONAL AND EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS IN STEM; (C) ADVANCE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY; (D) FOSTER INTEREST IN STEM CAREERS; (E) CREATE AND ENHANCE THE THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE INFORMAL STEM LEARNING; (F) IMPROVE COMMUNITY VIBRANCY; AND/OR (G) ENHANCE SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND THE PUBLIC'S ENGAGEMENT IN AND UNDERSTANDING OF STEM AND STEM PROCESSES.
