As a partners in the NSF INCLUDES Alliance, the CIDER team's mission is to achieve change through activities supported by well informed data and evidence.
The CIDER team brings together a multidisciplinary effort to support the data-focused activities, research and evaluation of the Engineering PLUS Alliance. They are supporting the work by engaging their synergistic team of data scientists, researchers and evaluators (internal and external) and creating a foundational platform that supports capacity building at multiple levels: the project overall, stEm Academy, the partnering societies, AISES, NSBE, and SWE, and the Regional Hubs and their associated members.
Our CIDER team consists of 20 individuals across 5 organizations
What CIDER has Brought to the Table (thus far):

Data Posters used in an Equity Walk:
Data
Research Question 1: What role does evidence play in scaling the most promising engagement activities across the regional hub and the alliance overall?
Research Question 2: How do the social interactions and resultant networks affect scaling?
Research Question 3: What are the historic and operative frameworks of how gender, race and ethnicity, pathway opportunities and goal attainment are addressed?
