项目摘要

This project, Diverse People for a Diverse Science, takes the Ecological Society of America's Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability (SEEDS) program into Phase IV of its mission. It integrates a set of existing and new programs into a sequence of activities that build upon previous experiences and an infrastructure of support designed to retain minorities in ecology. Specifically, students from groups underrepresented in science will be recruited to participate in multi-day field trips to sites of long-term environmental research, where they will meet scientists and learn firsthand about ecological research. SEEDS will help these students and their mentors build and strengthen SEEDS chapters on their college campuses. Students will be able to apply through SEEDS competitions for funds to support their own research and to attend the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America (ESA), where they can present their work and meet a wide diversity of ecologists. This suite of activities provides students with mentoring support and exposure to a broad spectrum of career development opportunities. Effectiveness of these activities for recruiting students from underrepresented groups into the field of ecology will be assessed by independent evaluators. By expanding and fostering the interaction of students across ESA's members and partners, SEEDS is well-positioned to enhance the visibility and value of diversity for the next generation of scientists. Through developing student leadership and community outreach skills, the project provides outlets for students to share the value of ecological science on campuses, in local schools and in communities. More broadly, SEEDS helps to ensure a diverse workforce, which will be necessary to solve the many ecological problems faced by practically all societies in the 21st century.

这个项目，多样化的人为多样化的科学，需要美国的生态教育，多样性和可持续发展战略（种子）计划的生态社会进入其使命的第四阶段。它将一套现有的和新的方案整合到一系列活动中，这些活动建立在以前的经验和旨在保留少数民族生态的支持基础设施之上。具体而言，来自科学代表性不足的群体的学生将被招募参加为期多日的实地考察，前往长期环境研究的地点，在那里他们将与科学家会面，并直接了解生态研究。 SEEDS将帮助这些学生和他们的导师在他们的大学校园建立和加强SEEDS分会。学生将能够通过种子竞赛申请资金，以支持自己的研究，并参加美国生态学会（ESA）的年会，在那里他们可以展示自己的工作，并满足生态学家的广泛多样性。这一系列活动为学生提供指导支持和广泛的职业发展机会。这些活动从代表性不足的群体中招募学生进入生态学领域的有效性将由独立评估人员进行评估。通过扩大和促进学生在欧空局成员和合作伙伴之间的互动，SEEDS能够为下一代科学家提高多样性的可见度和价值。通过培养学生的领导能力和社区外展技能，该项目为学生提供了在校园、当地学校和社区分享生态科学价值的渠道。更广泛地说，种子有助于确保多样化的劳动力，这将是解决世纪几乎所有社会面临的许多生态问题所必需的。
