Track 2: Collaborative Proposal: Building and Maintaining a Pipeline for Diversity This four-year program builds upon committed partnering by The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) and Jackson State University, with collaborative support from SECME, Inc. and Upward Bound Math and Science. This program provides longitudinal opportunities, training, mentoring and support for students from underrepresented groups so that they are successful in geosciences. Programs conducted in Pennsylvania and Mississippi are integrated to recruit and retain students of color. Ongoing formative and summative assessment activities conducted throughout the entire project allow adjustments in style and content to be made as necessary. Project activities include multiyear research and classroom opportunities for pre-college students. College minority students receive summer research internships through an existing program managed by the Committee on Institutional Cooperation. In addition, the first-degree program in Earth System Science at an HBCU (Jackson State) is being developed through this award. Courses implemented by the project team include (a) four courses integrating the study of scientific issues in Africa, (b) a mineralogy-petrology laboratory course, and (c) an upper-division Environmental Literacy course for pre-service teachers. As part of their professional training, Jackson State students will be given top priority for enrolling in the field geophysics course sponsored by AfricaArray. Students who complete the new Jackson State degree program, participate in summer internships, and are admitted to PSU graduate programs will be guaranteed full financial support as part of an institutional match provided for the project. Faculty members at Jackson State are participating in mini-sabbaticals at Penn State, ensuring the long-term success of research and pedagogic collaborations established under this project. Research equipment purchased for Jackson State enables continued growth and success of the new degree program.

这个为期四年的项目建立在宾夕法尼亚州立大学（PSU）和杰克逊州立大学（Jackson State University）的承诺合作基础上，并得到了SECME， Inc.和upper Bound Math and Science的合作支持。该项目为来自代表性不足群体的学生提供纵向机会、培训、指导和支持，使他们在地球科学领域取得成功。在宾夕法尼亚州和密西西比州进行的项目被整合为招收和留住有色人种学生。在整个项目中进行的形成性和总结性评估活动允许在必要时对风格和内容进行调整。项目活动包括多年的研究和大学预科学生的课堂机会。大学少数族裔学生可以通过机构合作委员会管理的现有项目获得暑期研究实习机会。此外，HBCU（杰克逊州立大学）的地球系统科学一级学位课程正在通过该奖项得到发展。项目小组实施的课程包括(a)四门综合研究非洲科学问题的课程，(b)一门矿物学-岩石学实验课程，以及(c)为职前教师开设的高年级环境扫盲课程。作为专业培训的一部分，杰克逊州立大学的学生将优先参加由AfricaArray赞助的野外地球物理学课程。完成新杰克逊州立大学学位课程，参加暑期实习，并被PSU研究生课程录取的学生将获得全额财政支持，作为该项目提供的机构匹配的一部分。杰克逊州立大学的教职员工正在参加宾夕法尼亚州立大学的小休假，以确保该项目下建立的研究和教学合作的长期成功。为杰克逊州立购买的研究设备使新学位课程的持续增长和成功。
