Initiative for Equity in the Geosciences: Track 2SACNAS is increasing the geoscience content at its annual National Conferences and is providing minority students in disciplines ranging from geology to meteorology an opportunity to build a national geoscience network. At meetings students are exposed to cutting-edge research; geoscience career and fellowship opportunities; exhibitors representing professional associations; venues for presenting research; and mentoring related to the professional demands and concerns shared by minority students and faculty from the larger scientific community. Utilizing its solid network of leading scientists and engineers, SACNAS is accelerating its effort to integrate geoscience research and education and advance the teaching and learning of geoscience at its annual Conference. This project will recruit Native American and Chicano/Latino undergraduate and graduate students in geoscience disciplines each year for five years (2006-11) to attend the SACNAS Conference. Participating students are provided with early mentoring opportunities designed to assist them with their plans for higher education and employment as researchers and educators in the geosciences. Scientific symposia sessions focusing on advances in the geosciences and opportunities for students are open to all. The SACNAS website and monthly e-nouncements disseminate information about geoscience research opportunities. A workshop at the conference for K-12 teachers focuses on geosciences is also provided, with mentoring support throughout the year. The project will be evaluated as to its effectiveness as a mentoring initiative by tracking the educational progress of conference geoscience participants over time.

地球科学平等倡议：轨道2 SACNAS正在其年度全国会议上增加地球科学内容，并为地质学和气象学等学科的少数民族学生提供建立国家地球科学网络的机会。在会议上，学生们接触到前沿研究;地球科学职业和奖学金机会;代表专业协会的参展商;展示研究的场所;以及与少数民族学生和教师从更大的科学界分享的专业需求和关注有关的指导。利用其领先的科学家和工程师的坚实网络，SACNAS正在加快努力整合地球科学研究和教育，并在其年度会议上推进地球科学的教学和学习。该项目将在五年内（2006-11年）每年招募美国土著人和奇卡诺/拉丁美洲人地球科学学科的本科生和研究生参加SACNAS会议。参与的学生提供了早期辅导的机会，旨在帮助他们与他们的高等教育和就业计划，作为研究人员和教育工作者在地球科学。科学研讨会会议侧重于地球科学的进步和学生的机会是向所有人开放。 SACNAS网站和每月电子公告传播有关地球科学研究机会的信息。 会议期间还为K-12教师举办了一个侧重于地球科学的研讨会，并提供全年的辅导支持。 将通过跟踪会议地球科学参与者的教育进展情况，评估该项目作为指导举措的有效性。
