Overview: MPOWIR (Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention) is a community-led program aimed at providing mentoring to junior women in physical oceanography in order to improve their retention in the field. Initiated in 2004, MPOWIR activities started in earnest in 2007. The objectives of the program, as determined by the community in the 2005 planning workshop are: (1) to provide continuity of mentoring from a young woman's graduate career, through her postdoctoral years to the first years of her permanent job, (2) to establish a collective responsibility within the physical oceanography community for the mentoring of junior women in the field, (3) to provide a variety of mentoring resources and mentors on a variety of issues, (4) to cast a wide net to avoid exclusiveness and (5) to open this mentoring program to all those who self-identify as a physical oceanographer. Intellectual Merit: The MPOWIR program, through its focus on the retention of women in the field of physical oceanography, will allow further capitalization on the investment the funding agencies and universities have made on the education of women students. Essentially, this project seeks to stem the loss of intellectual capital for the physical oceanographic field, as well as other geoscience disciplines through the following activities:1.Pattullo conference: This biannual conference brings together about 25 junior women physical oceanographers, together with 12 senior physical oceanographers, both male and female, for a 2.5 day meeting focused on discipline-based mentoring.2.Mentoring groups: Groups of about 6 junior women and 2 senior women physical oceanographers meet for a monthly teleconference, for the purpose of confidential, personalized mentoring.3.MPOWIR website: The website serves as a repository of resources for mentoring and physical oceanography careers.4.Databases and surveys: Regular surveys are conducted to assess the effectiveness of MPOWIR activities, determine community mentoring needs, and evaluate progress in retention.5.Town Hall meetings and socials: Events at the Ocean Sciences meeting facilitate networking between physical oceanographers and provide career development information to junior scientists. The website and town hall meetings are open to all, and greater emphasis will be placed on making material available via the website, to ensure a gender-neutral benefit. Efforts to export the MPOWIR model to other disciplines and institutions will be undertaken via links with the Earth Science Women's Network, and through a new quarterly newsletter. Social media will be used to publicize MPOWIR activities, announcement and events.Broader Impacts: This proposed work aids efforts to create a scientific workforce whose diversity more closely matches that of the student population and that of the U.S. population as a whole, by aiding the retention of women in the field of physical oceanography and other geoscience disciplines.

概述：MPOWIR（指导物理海洋学以增加保留率）是一个社区主导的计划，旨在向年轻的妇女提供物理海洋学的指导，以改善其在该领域的保留。 Initiated in 2004, MPOWIR activities started in earnest in 2007. The objectives of the program, as determined by the community in the 2005 planning workshop are: (1) to provide continuity of mentoring from a young woman's graduate career, through her postdoctoral years to the first years of her permanent job, (2) to establish a collective responsibility within the physical oceanography community for the mentoring of junior women in the field, (3) to provide a variety of mentoring resources and指导各种问题，（4）施放广泛的网络以避免排他性，（5）向所有自我认同为物理海洋学家的人开放这项指导计划。知识分子优点：MPOWIR计划通过关注妇女在物理海洋学领域的保留，将允许对资助机构和大学对女学生的教育进行的投资进一步资本化。本质上，该项目试图阻止物理海洋学领域的智力资本损失，以及其他地球科学纪律，通过以下活动进行纪律处分：1。Pattullo会议：这次每年一次的会议将大约25名初级女性物理海洋学家与12名高级物理海洋分类者一起，以及男性和女性的12名高年级妇女会议，以纪念妇女的训练群体和2.5天的妇女组成。 teleconference, for the purpose of confidential, personalized mentoring.3.MPOWIR website: The website serves as a repository of resources for mentoring and physical oceanography careers.4.Databases and surveys: Regular surveys are conducted to assess the effectiveness of MPOWIR activities, determine community mentoring needs, and evaluate progress in retention.5.Town Hall meetings and socials: Events at the Ocean Sciences meeting facilitate networking between physical oceanographers and provide career向初级科学家开发信息。网站和市政厅的会议对所有人开放，并且将更加重视通过网站提供材料，以确保性别中立的利益。将通过与地球科学妇女网络的联系以及新的季度新闻通讯来实施将MPOWIR模型出口到其他学科和机构的努力。社交媒体将用于宣传MPOWIR活动，公告和事件。Broader的影响：这项拟议的工作有助于创建一个科学的劳动力，通过协助妇女在物理海洋学和其他地球科学领域的保留，其多样性与学生群体和整个美国人口的多样性更加匹配。
