The SOARS Program - Enhancing and Expanding a Successful Model for Building Diversity in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences

大气研究和科学重大机遇(SOARS)计划是一个从本科生到研究生的桥梁计划，旨在扩大对大气和相关科学的参与。该计划围绕研究、指导、社区和对代表不足的学生的多年持续支持而建立。这项提议将继续为大气及相关科学的下一代领导人提供真正的研究机会、指导、社区和个人指导。这些学生将参与实地活动，学习撰写同行评议的期刊出版，接受科学计算和数据科学方面的培训，并提供学生支持。SOARS计划将扩展到其他机构，以增加地球科学和STEM学科的学生数量。

The Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science (SOARS) program is an undergraduate-to-graduate bridge program designed to broaden participation in the atmospheric and related sciences. The program is built around research, mentoring, community and multi-year ongoing support for underrepresented students. This proposal will continue to provide genuine research opportunities, mentoring, community and personal guidance for the next generation of leaders in the atmospheric and related sciences. The students will be involved in field campaigns, taught to produce peer-reviewed journal publishing, training in scientific computing and data science, and provided student support. The SOARS program will be expanded to other institutions to increase the number of students within the geosciences and STEM disciplines.
