Abstract:
In 2018, the National Science Foundation (NSF) established a new award term and condition to address specifically the issue of sexual and other forms of harassment in the research space. The term and condition at the time was novel and required awardee institutions to notify NSF if the PI or Co-PI was subject to a finding or determination regarding sexual or other forms of harassment, or if the awardee took administrative action against the PI or Co-PI for the same. NSF engaged the awardee community and other government agencies in developing the term and condition and was clear from the outset of the term and condition’s institution that NSF would evaluate the term and condition for its effectiveness and would consider adjustments or changes following the evaluation results. The purpose of the survey and interviews is to help us assess NSF’s term and condition and conference policy to determine whether 1) changes or adjustments might be needed to facilitate effectiveness and implementation; and/or 2) enhanced training or communications might be warranted to raise awareness.
