# Annual Conference on Understanding Interventions that Broaden Participation in Science

> **NIH NIH R13** · LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY BROOKLYN CAMPUS · 2020 · $57,968

## Abstract

The annual Understanding Interventions that Broaden Participation in Science conference is the 
leading in-­person opportunity for practitioners to interact, share experiences and solutions, and 
learn from experts outside their professional domain about innovations in many forms—theories, 
methods, tools—that could inform interventions with students, faculty, decision makers, and 
policymakers. The UI Conference provides a forum for the dissemination and distillation of 
translational interventions research resulting from competitive grants awarded by funding 
agencies such as the NSF and NlH. The overall goal of this five-­year conference plan is to 
reach a capacity double that of the current UI model through the following specific aims: 
1. Understanding Interventions will organize and implement an annual conference that will 
include training workshops, symposia, deeper dive sessions, poster sessions, and 
organized networking opportunities. Travel support will be given to enable greater graduate 
student, post-­doctoral, and junior faculty participation in conference activities. 
2. Understanding Interventions will provide outreach that takes interventions scholarship to five 
professional society meetings that have a history of being attentive to not only research, but 
also training in broadening participation. These meetings include but are not limited to the 
Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS), Society for 
Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), 
Experimental Biology (EB), Society for Neuroscience, and American Chemical Society 
(ACS), the American Institute of Physics (API), or The American Society for Cell Biology 
(ASCB). It will aggressively advertise and market the annual conference to those disciplines 
not historically well represented such as chemistry, physics, computer science, and 
engineering. 
3. Understanding Interventions will host webinars that provide skills development and aid in 
dissemination of research on broadening participation in science.
