项目摘要

This award will provide support to defray expenses of student participants attending the 35th Annual Technical Conference of the National Association of Black Geoscientists (NABG). The conference will take place in New Orleans on September 7-10, 2016. The primary goal of NABG is to mentor and advise students from under-represented backgrounds pursuing BS, MS, and PhD degrees in scientific, technical, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, providing a competent and diverse workforce fulfilling critical national needs for the 21st Century. Professional members serve as role models to participating students, and engage in a number of mentoring activities including constructive criticism of student research projects, career counseling, guidance related to professional behavior and academic advising. A new component at the conference this year will be a pre-conference workshop where students will learn and practice non-technical skills. It is expected that providing this information prior to the conference will foster faster internalization of these newly acquired skills. The meeting serves as an opportunity for academic institutions, government agencies, and the energy/environmental industry to recruit students from underrepresented groups to STEM disciplines and employment in the national geosciences workforce.

该奖项将为参加全国黑人地球科学家协会(NABG)第35届年度技术会议的学生与会者提供支持。大会将于2016年9月7日至10日在新奥尔良举行。NABG的主要目标是指导和建议来自代表性不足背景的学生攻读科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科的学士、硕士和博士学位，提供一支称职和多样化的劳动力队伍，满足21世纪的关键国家需求。专业成员作为参与学生的榜样，并参与许多指导活动，包括对学生研究项目的建设性批评、职业咨询、与专业行为相关的指导和学术建议。今年大会的一个新组成部分将是会议前研讨会，学生们将在那里学习和练习非技术技能。预期在会议之前提供这方面的信息将有助于更快地将这些新获得的技能内化。这次会议为学术机构、政府机构和能源/环境行业提供了一个机会，让他们从代表性不足的群体中招收STEM专业的学生，并在国家地球科学工作人员中就业。
