ABSTRACTSACNAS: Initiatives for Equity in the GeosciencesThis project of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) seeks to recruit Native American and Chicano/Latino undergraduate students in the geosciences, environmental sciences, earth sciences, and astronomy each year for the next five years to attend and to participate in the SACNAS National Conference. The project also supports a session at the annual SACNAS conference that will focus on advances in the geosciences. Prospective student candidates are contacted and informed of the SACNAS initiative and offered financial assistance in the form of travel and lodging grants to attend the National Conference. At the conference, students attend small group workshops, present research posters, participate in scientific symposia, and exchange ideas in meaningful one-on-one interactions with scientists, teachers, engineers, and professionals. In an effort to theorize and measure the impact of outreach efforts SACNAS will add a tracking dimension to the model for purposes of demonstrating whether programmatic efforts impact student decisions to continue their education into graduate school and beyond. The tracking system will survey students at the end of each academic year and after graduation across a number of educational variables and academic practices. Ultimately, this project increases the representation of Native American and Chicano/Latino geoscience students and scientists within NSF-supported research and education initiatives.

该项目是美国奇卡诺人和美洲原住民科学促进会(SACNAS)的一个项目，旨在未来五年内每年招募地球科学、环境科学、地球科学和天文学方面的美洲原住民和奇卡诺/拉丁裔本科生参加SACNAS全国会议。该项目还支持SACNAS年度会议的一次会议，该会议将重点讨论地球科学方面的进展。未来的学生候选人被联系并被告知SACNAS倡议，并以参加全国会议的旅费和住宿补助金的形式提供财政援助。在会议上，学生们参加小组研讨会，展示研究海报，参加科学研讨会，并在有意义的一对一互动中与科学家、教师、工程师和专业人士交流思想。为了对外展工作的影响进行理论分析和衡量，SACNAS将在模型中增加一个跟踪维度，以显示方案努力是否影响学生继续接受研究生院及以后教育的决定。该跟踪系统将在每个学年结束时和毕业后对学生进行一系列教育变量和学术实践的调查。最终，该项目增加了美国原住民和奇卡诺/拉丁裔地球科学学生和科学家在国家科学基金会资助的研究和教育倡议中的代表性。
