The MS PHD'S in Earth System Science® Professional Development Program (MS PHD'S PDP) is promoting the advancement of underrepresented minority (URM) students and recent doctoral degree recipients in Earth system science (ESS) careers. It provides URM undergraduate and graduate students with long-term exposure to, interaction with, and increased participation in the Earth system science community. This award is supporting one new cohort of 25 MS PHD'S PDP student participants. MS PHD'S PDP activities address several obstacles to achieving diversity in the geosciences, including: 1) lack of ESS career opportunities awareness within URM communities; 2) small numbers of visible URM role models; and, 3) small numbers of ESS-related programs at minority serving institutions. The project builds on known best practices for successful STEM diversity programs, which involve sustained interactions with students, mentoring by professionals, exposure to educational and research opportunities. It focuses on understanding and participating in the ESS professional community as a means to strengthen eligibility, sense of belonging and achievement. MS PHD'S PDP activities provide student participants with information regarding future ESS funding; education and career opportunities; exposure to cutting-edge ESS research and technology; and, on-going communication and mentoring support via membership within the MS PHD'S PDP virtual community. During a capstone leadership development week in Washington, DC, MS PHD'S PDP participants gain valuable understanding about the operations and priorities of the Federal agencies and related organizations that support ESS research and education.

地球系统科学 MS PHD® 专业发展计划 (MS PHD'S PDP) 正在促进地球系统科学 (ESS) 职业中代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生和近期博士学位获得者的进步。它为 URM 本科生和研究生提供了长期接触地球系统科学界、与地球系统科学界互动和更多参与的机会。该奖项用于支持新一批 25 名 MS PHD 的 PDP 学生参与者。 MS PHD 的 PDP 活动解决了实现地球科学多样性的几个障碍，包括：1）URM 社区内缺乏 ESS 职业机会意识； 2) 少量可见的 URM 榜样； 3) 少数族裔服务机构有少量与 ESS 相关的项目。该项目建立在成功的 STEM 多元化项目的已知最佳实践之上，其中包括与学生的持续互动、专业人士的指导、接触教育和研究机会。 它侧重于了解和参与 ESS 专业社区，以此作为增强资格、归属感和成就感的手段。 MS PHD 的 PDP 活动为学生参与者提供有关未来 ESS 资助的信息；教育和职业机会；接触尖端的 ESS 研究和技术；通过 MS PHD 的 PDP 虚拟社区中的会员资格提供持续的沟通和指导支持。 在华盛顿特区举行的顶点领导力发展周期间，MS PHD 的 PDP 参与者获得了对支持 ESS 研究和教育的联邦机构和相关组织的运作和优先事项的宝贵了解。
