Diversifying the Next Generation Geoscience Mentor Community Through Training Aboard the JOIDES/Resolution

该讲习班旨在通过培训增加地球科学导师库的多样性，培训还有助于将不同背景的年轻科学家定位为参加综合大洋钻探计划（IODP）研究的海洋科学家或联合首席科学家。它还旨在通过高中教师与这些早期职业科学家的配对来加强管道并建立有效的地方网络。因此，研讨会通过增加（1）能够更广泛地为IODP科学和地球科学做出贡献的科学家的多样性，以及（2）研究表明有更好机会积极影响有色人种本科生的教育和/或职业道路的导师（Kendricks等人，2013年;萨默斯和Hrabowski，2006年）。直接的科学效益将来自广泛参与IODP科学的年轻科学家群体的多样性增加，通过STEM学生船上体验（STEMSEAS; Chang等人，2014年）。这是NSF、UNOLS和其他联邦资助项目的高度优先事项。本次研讨会的重点是一个机会，吸引不同的年轻科学家进入地球科学和综合海洋钻探计划（IODP）管道，同时，通过有效的指导和参与，使这些人对来自全国不同社区的本科生的发展轨迹产生可衡量的影响。拟议讲习班的总体目标是：1 -鼓励来自STEM领域，特别是地球科学领域代表性仍然不足的社区的早期职业科学家和中学教育工作者参与。2-展示和教育Joides Resolution（JR）/IODP能力。3-增加未来将申请参加IODP和相关探险的人才库的多样性。4-为本科STEM/地球科学学生建立多样化的指导人才库。5-建立当地合作伙伴关系，以加强STEM/地球科学管道。

This workshop aims to increase the diversity of the geoscience mentor pool through training that also serves to position young scientists of diverse backgrounds to serve as sea-going scientists or co-Chief Scientists participating in Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) research. It also aims to bolster the pipeline and build effective local networks through the pairing of high school teachers with these early career scientists. The workshop thus offers synergy by increasing the diversity of (1) scientists who are positioned to contribute both to IODP science and geoscience more broadly, and (2) mentors who research shows stand a better chance of positively influencing the educational and/or career pathways of undergraduate students of color (Kendricks, et al., 2013; Summers and Hrabowski, 2006). Direct scientific benefit will come from increasing diversity among the pool of young scientists that are broadly engaged in IODP science, allowing measurable impact on the trajectory of undergraduates in STEM fields through programs such as STEM Student Experiences Aboard Ships (STEMSEAS; Chang et al., 2014). This is a high priority for the NSF, UNOLS and other federally-funded programs.This workshop focuses on an opportunity to entrain a diverse cohort of young scientists into the geoscience- and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)- pipeline, and at the same time, to position these same individuals to have measurable impact on the trajectory of undergraduate students from diverse communities nationwide through effective mentoring and engagement in critical issues of societal relevance.The overarching goals of the proposed workshop are to:1 - Encourage early career scientists and secondary-level educators from communities that remain poorly represented in STEM fields, and particularly geosciences, to participate.2 - Showcase and educate about Joides Resolution (JR)/IODP capabilities.3 - Increase the diversity of the talent pool that will apply to sail on IODP and related expeditions in the future.4 - Build a diverse mentoring pool for undergraduate STEM/geoscience students.5 - Create local partnerships to bolster the STEM/geoscience pipeline.
