This award will support a new effort to develop a national framework for Earth Science literacy; this document of Big Ideas and supporting concepts will be a community undertaking representing the current state-of-the-art research in Earth sciences. It will be written, evaluated, shaped and revised by the top scientists working in Earth science. The outcome of this effort will be a statement of what the Earth science research community feels all American's should know about Earth Science. The participants will be scientists and educators, with expertise from the diverse portions of the Earth Science, to fully represent the breadth of research within our field. The process of establishing a set of essential principles and fundamental ideas that best represents the entire community will require several steps that are lead by an organizing committee. Broader community input will come through two separate stages: an online workshop of 120-150 people to be held during May 12-24, 2008, and an in-person writing workshop of about held during July 20-23, 2008. There will be final meeting of the organizing committee in January of 2009 to produce the final document from the output of these workshops and a following period of comments and evaluations. The online workshop will focus on vetting a broad scope of ideas from the Earth science research community, and in the in-person writing workshop will focus on combining this information into a coherent document. The outcome will be a living document that will continue to grow and change with future advances in our field. The project's outcomes will be directly tied to current NRC and AAAS science education standards. It will also become part of the foundation, together with similar statements from the Oceans, Atmospheres, Climate and other communities, for an even broader Earth System Science Literacy project.

该奖项将支持一项制定国家地球科学素养框架的新努力；这份关于大想法和支持概念的文件将是一项代表当前地球科学最先进研究的社区事业。它将由从事地球科学工作的顶尖科学家撰写、评估、塑造和修订。这一努力的结果将是地球科学研究界认为所有美国人都应该了解的地球科学的陈述。与会者将是科学家和教育工作者，具有来自地球科学不同部分的专业知识，以充分代表我们领域内研究的广度。建立一套最能代表整个社区的基本原则和基本思想的过程将需要由组委会领导的几个步骤。更广泛的社区投入将分两个阶段进行：在2008年5月12日至24日举行的120至150人的线上工作坊，以及在2008年7月20日至23日举行的约有120至150人参加的现场写作工作坊。组委会将于2009年1月举行最后一次会议，根据这些研讨会的成果制定最终文件，并进行后续的评论和评估。在线研讨会将侧重于审查来自地球科学研究界的广泛观点，而面对面的写作研讨会将侧重于将这些信息组合成一份连贯的文件。结果将是一个活生生的文件，它将随着我们领域的未来进步而继续增长和变化。该项目的成果将直接与目前NRC和AAAS的科学教育标准挂钩。它还将与海洋、大气、气候和其他社区的类似声明一起成为基金会的一部分，用于更广泛的地球系统科学素养项目。
