Two people talk over coffee, while two others talk chat them.

Proceedings from the ERC-INCLUDES capacity building institute (CBI), Bringing ERCs into the INCLUDES National Network, are online and feature a plethora of topics, discussions, and resources on how to make your programs and projects—with language specifically tailored around INCLUDES projects and ERCS—more inclusive to all.

The goals of the CBI were to integrate evidence-based broadening participation practices of INCLUDES into the ERCs, share ERC diversity activities and outcomes to inform research and practice of INCLUDES projects, and build a durable collaborative infrastructure for broadening participation in NSF-funded research through the engagement of ERCs with the NSF INCLUDES National Network. The CBI ran from April 3 - 5 and featured presentations on a wide variety of diversity topics, discussions among members of all groups, and workshops to share promising practices and build even better collaborations for the future.

In ERC-INCLUDES, staff of ERCs and INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilots (DDLPs), Alliances, and the Coordination Hub will engage to reach objectives to 

  1. Integrate evidence-based broadening participation practices of INCLUDES into the ERCs,
  2. Share ERC diversity activities and outcomes to inform research/practice of INCLUDES projects, and
  3. Build a durable collaborative infrastructure for broadening participation in NSF-funded research through the engagement of ERCs with the NSF INCLUDES National Network.
