Active Societal Participation In Research and Education (ASPIRE) aims to cultivate a generation of geoscientists with the leadership knowledge and skills, scholarship, and material support to communicate the social relevance of geosciences, and thereby, to broaden participation in these fields. The proposed project will evaluate the effectiveness of place-based science as a vehicle for increasing diversity in the Geoscience. The ASPIRE collaborators will organize Mobile Working Groups (MWG) that will be led by an academic geoscientist who works with a local community on issues that require an expertise in the geosciences. These MWG leaders are referred to as "gate-openers". Each MWG will focus on a single issue linked to a single community, but ASPIRE will support multiple MWGs working across a variety of issues and geoscience topics. During the pilot period, ASPIRE will: 1) learn from the experiences and qualities of geoscientists who already possess experience leading community-relevant research, 2) support them "individually and collectively" as leaders of MWGs over a period of one year, 3) identify from their prior and current experiences the sort of leadership required to bridge underserved and geoscience communities, and 4) define and refine the leadership, networking, and logistical support needs that a fully implemented "bricks and mortar" center would require. Over the course of the pilot project, ASPIRE will conservatively involve up to forty individuals from across a variety of geoscience institutions, with an additional thirty or more participants, support staff and evaluators. The PIs hypothesize that in institutionalizing a new mode of geoscience research (MWG), learning from the leaders' experiences with MWG, and refining a leadership development program based on findings, they will have a scalable leadership tool and organizational structure that will rebrand the geosciences as socially relevant and inclusive of geoscientists from diverse backgrounds.

积极的社会参与研究和教育（ASPIRE）旨在培养一代具有领导知识和技能，奖学金和物质支持的地球科学家，以传达地球科学的社会相关性，从而扩大这些领域的参与。拟议的项目将评价以地点为基础的科学作为增加地球科学多样性的手段的有效性。ASPIRE合作者将组织移动的工作组（MWG），由一名学术地球科学家领导，他与当地社区合作解决需要地球科学专业知识的问题。这些MWG领导人被称为“开门者”。每个MWG将专注于与单个社区相关的单个问题，但ASPIRE将支持跨各种问题和地球科学主题的多个MWG。在试点期间，ASPIRE将：1）从已经拥有领导社区相关研究经验的地球科学家的经验和素质中学习，2）在一年的时间内支持他们作为MWG的领导者“单独和集体”，3）从他们以前和现在的经验中确定连接服务不足和地球科学社区所需的领导力，以及4）定义和完善领导力，网络，和后勤支持的需要，一个全面实施的“砖和迫击炮”中心将需要。在试点项目的过程中，ASPIRE将保守地涉及来自各种地球科学机构的多达40名个人，另外还有30名或更多的参与者，支持人员和评估人员。PI假设，在制度化的地球科学研究（MWG）的新模式，从领导者的经验与MWG学习，并完善基于研究结果的领导力发展计划，他们将有一个可扩展的领导工具和组织结构，将重塑地球科学的社会相关性和包容性的地球科学家来自不同背景。
