Dartmouth faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students will provide support for U.S. participation in the Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) and associated educational outreach efforts. JSEP is an internationally funded program that brings American, Danish and Greenlandic students and teachers to Greenland for a three-week field school experience. The program includes research related experiences in the Kangerlussuaq area and at the U.S. supported Summit Station on the Greenland ice sheet.Components of the US participation included in this award are: sending a small team of graduate student and postdoctoral researchers with polar field experience, along with a Dartmouth faculty member, to Greenland to support field science education in the JSEP programs; continued training of an international group of students, teachers, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in cross-cultural science communication to advance the understanding of polar science in Greenland; sharing this training more broadly with the polar community; hosting planning meetings and workshops to design the curriculum for Science and Education Week and to help coordinate efforts by all parties engaged in JSEP; working with partners in Greenland and Denmark to increase the visibility of JSEP; and sharing and assessing the results of JSEP through public presentations, education-focused symposia at national meetings and publications in scholarly journals.Benefits to U.S. students, teachers, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty will include: improved science communication skills; greater facility in framing and communicating scholarship to meet the needs of Arctic communities; increased capacity for recognizing, assimilating, and communicating traditional knowledge; and skills for implementing programs that will broaden impacts of their future scholarship. The postdoc and graduate students will receive training in managing interdisciplinary research and outreach teams, thereby preparing them as future leaders in Arctic science and policy. Program goals include developing and disseminating curricula strategies that will increase general awareness of polar issues, attract the next generation of polar scientists and strengthen the international network of polar researchers.

达特茅斯的教师、博士后研究员和研究生将为美国参与联合科学教育项目（JSEP）和相关的教育推广工作提供支持。JSEP是一个国际资助的项目，将美国，丹麦和格陵兰的学生和教师带到格陵兰进行为期三周的实地学校体验。该计划包括在Kangerlussuaq地区和美国支持的格陵兰冰盖上的Summit Station的研究相关经验。美国参与该奖项的组成部分包括：派遣一个由具有极地领域经验的研究生和博士后研究人员组成的小组，沿着一名达特茅斯教职员工前往格陵兰，支持JSEP计划中的野外科学教育;继续对一个由学生、教师、研究生和博士后研究人员组成的国际小组进行跨文化科学交流方面的培训，以促进格陵兰对极地科学的了解;更广泛地与极地社区分享这一培训;主办规划会议和讲习班，为科学和教育周设计课程，并帮助协调参与JSEP的所有各方的努力;与格陵兰和丹麦的合作伙伴合作，提高JSEP的知名度;通过公开演讲、在全国性会议上举办以教育为重点的专题讨论会以及在学术期刊上发表文章，分享和评估JSEP的成果。美国学生、教师、研究生、博士后研究员和教职员工将受益于：提高科学交流技能;更好地制定和交流奖学金，以满足北极社区的需求;提高认识，吸收和交流传统知识的能力;以及实施计划的技能，这将扩大他们未来奖学金的影响。博士后和研究生将接受管理跨学科研究和外联团队的培训，从而使他们成为北极科学和政策的未来领导者。该计划的目标包括制定和传播课程战略，以提高人们对极地问题的普遍认识，吸引下一代极地科学家，并加强极地研究人员的国际网络。
