THE EARTH SCIENCES SYMPOSIA AND WORKSHOPS AT THE SACNAS NATIONAL CONFERENCE

该奖项将支持至少26名学生参加将于2014年10月16日至18日在洛杉矶举行的2014年SACNAS全国会议。“2014年SACNAS会议规划的地球科学路线图”文件将为学生参加会议提供便利。本指南以PDF和应用程序的形式提供，将帮助研究生、本科生和专业人士更好地利用对他们最有利的会议。此外，pi和合作者将编写《2014年SACNAS全国会议地球科学指导手册》。这份指导指南将促进导师向学生传达一致的信息，包括建设性的批评和为学生提供的资源。最后，PI将促进教师、地球科学学会和工业界之间的对话，讨论如何加强代表性不足的学生（特别是本科生）参与地球科学的战略；这次谈话的报告将与整个地球科学界分享。通过该奖学金获得资助的学生将主要来自部落学院和西班牙裔服务机构；他们将被要求对将为支持会议参与而制定的指南作出贡献和作出评价。

This award will support at least 26 students to participate at the 2014 SACNAS National Conference that will take place in Los Angeles (October 16-18, 2014). The students' participation at the conference will be facilitated by a "Geosciences Roadmap to the 2014 SACNAS Conference Programing" document. This guide, available as PDF and app, will assist graduate and undergraduate students and professionals to better take advantage of the sessions that would benefit them the most. In addition, the PIs and collaborators will develop a "Geoscience Mentoring Handbook for the 2014 SACNAS National Conference". This mentoring guide will facilitate a consistent message from the mentors to the students, including constructive criticism and resources for students. Lastly, the PI will facilitate a conversation among faculty, geoscience societies, and industry on strategies for enhancing participation of under-represented students, in particular undergraduates, in Geosciences; a report from this conversation will be shared with the Geosciences community at large. The students selected to be funded through this award will come primarily from Tribal Colleges and Hispanic Serving institutions; they will be asked to contribute to and assess the guides that would be developed to support meeting participation.
