Pathways to Ocean Sciences

该奖项为扩大参与研究所（IBP）提供资金，以建立一个名为海洋科学之路的计划;拟议的项目将采用一套外展活动和补充数字化工具，以网络和支持参与国家科学基金会海洋科学研究经验的学生和教师本科生（REU）网站计划。利用广泛的虚拟和面对面的宣传，数字通信工具，和IBP的国家学生名录，海洋科学之路将1）协助REU PI增加申请NSF海洋科学雷乌斯的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的数量，2）鼓励REU PI，教师和管理人员之间的网络和合作，特别是在REU计划中促进多样性的战略，3）在REU体验期间和之后促进学生之间的网络和沟通，4）向学生介绍海洋科学的新兴领域5）跟踪海洋科学REU学生在教育途径中的进展，以及6）通过将学生与适当的STEM匹配，帮助REU学生衔接研究生课程（科学，技术，工程和数学）资源，如研究生院奖学金和其他资金来源。

This award provides funding for the Institute for Broadening Participation (IBP) to establish a program called Pathways to Ocean Sciences; the proposed project will employ a set of outreach activities and complementary digital tools to network and support students and faculty involved in the National Science Foundation's ocean sciences Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites programs. Using extensive virtual and face-to-face outreach, digital communication tools, and IBP's National Student Directory, Pathways to Ocean Sciences will 1) assist REU PIs to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students applying to NSF ocean sciences REUs, 2) encourage networking and collaboration among REU PIs, Faculty, and Administrators, particularly in regards to strategies for promoting diversity within their REU programs, 3) facilitate networking and communication among students during and after their REU experience, 4) introduce students to new emerging fields of ocean sciences 5) track ocean sciences REU students as they progress through their educational pathway, and 6) assist REU students in bridging to graduate programs by matching students with appropriate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) resources such as graduate school fellowships and other funding resources.
