The Keck Geology Consortium, comprised of earth science departments at 17 primarily undergraduate institutions, will offer undergraduate research experiences for 10 beginning and 21 advanced students per year. The Consortium endeavors to help students: (1) improve their understanding of the earth through authentic research; (2) develop disciplinary and personal skills needed by professional earth scientists; (3) develop their confidence and identity as scientists through greater understanding of the intellectual and practical work of science; and (4) refine their career plans and prepare them for graduate study using intentionally designed research experiences and mentoring. Gateway projects designed for first and second year students will consist of a mix of field and laboratory work, exposure to the breadth of the discipline, and to career opportunities in the earth sciences. Advanced Research Program students will participate in a four-week summer project involving a mix of field and laboratory study, followed by an academic year-long project at their home campuses. Both programs include analytical and professional development components designed to help students learn cutting-edge approaches, as well as to develop their professional knowledge and skills. Mentor workshops, curricular materials, and technology are used to support the work of student participants and project mentors.The principal goal of Keck Geology Consortium programs is to broaden the diversity of the geoscience workforce and to prepare students for careers in the geosciences. Undergraduate participants, especially those from underrepresented groups, will be recruited from both Consortium and non-Consortium institutions. The new Gateway Program is designed to make the most of, and further, existing efforts at the Consortium institutions to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups within the geosciences and STEM. With an emphasis on yearlong research experiences, structured research curricula, and mentor training, the Consortium programs provide a distinctive model for undergraduate research.

凯克地质联合会由17所主要本科院校的地球科学系组成，每年将为10名初学者和21名高级学生提供本科研究经验。该联盟致力于帮助学生：（1）通过真实的研究提高他们对地球的理解;（2）发展专业地球科学家所需的学科和个人技能;（3）通过更好地了解科学的知识和实践工作，培养他们作为科学家的信心和身份;以及（4）完善他们的职业规划，并利用有意设计的研究经验和指导为研究生学习做好准备。 为一年级和二年级学生设计的门户项目将包括实地和实验室工作的混合，接触学科的广度，以及地球科学的职业机会。高级研究计划的学生将参加为期四周的暑期项目，包括实地和实验室研究，然后在他们的家庭校园进行为期一年的学术项目。这两个项目都包括分析和专业发展部分，旨在帮助学生学习尖端方法，以及发展他们的专业知识和技能。导师研讨会，课程材料和技术用于支持学生参与者和项目导师的工作。凯克地质联盟计划的主要目标是扩大地球科学劳动力的多样性，并为学生在地球科学的职业生涯做好准备。本科生参与者，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体，将从联盟和非联盟机构招募。新的网关计划旨在充分利用并进一步加强联盟机构的现有努力，以扩大地球科学和STEM中代表性不足的群体的参与。随着为期一年的研究经验，结构化的研究课程和导师培训的重点，该联盟计划为本科生研究提供了一个独特的模式。
