Dear Colleague Letter: Stimulating Research Related to the Science of Broadening Participation
“Within the social, behavioral, and economic sciences, there is a rich tradition of research that can be used to inform the Science of Broadening Participation (SBP). Investing in scientific research that informs the SBP involves almost all of the SBE sciences. Furthermore, because efforts to broaden participation in the natural and physical sciences have emphasized attracting students from underrepresented groups into the STEM “pipeline,” there are unique opportunities for collaboration between scientists in these fields with those engaged in the actual science of broadening participation” (NSF, SBE, 2010).
