This proposal is for further continuation and enrichment of activities within the Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention (MPOWIR) program. This is a community-led program aiming at providing mentoring to junior women in physical oceanography to improve their retention in the field. The activities carried out as part of the program contribute to the creation of a scientific workforce whose diversity more closely matches that of the student and of the U.S. population. This is achieved by aiding the retention of women in the field of physical oceanography and other geoscience disciplines. The program was initiated in 2004, it was first fully funded by federal agencies in the spring of 2007, and then renewed in 2009. The objectives of the program, as determined by the community in a planning workshop in the fall of 2005, are to: (1) provide continuity of mentoring from a young woman?s graduate career, through her postdoctoral years to the first years of her permanent job, (2) establish a collective responsibility within the physical oceanography community for the mentoring of junior women in the field, (3) provide a variety of mentoring resources and mentors, (4) cast a wide net to avoid exclusiveness, and (5) open this mentoring program to all those who self-identify as a physical oceanographer. Specifically, the following MPOWIR activities will be carried out:1.Pattullo conference: A biannual conference that brings together about 25 junior women physical oceanographers, and 12 senior physical oceanographers, both male and female, for a 2.5-day meeting focused on discipline-based mentoring.2.Mentoring groups: Groups of approximately 6 junior women and 2 senior women physical oceanographers meet monthly through a teleconference, for confidential, personalized mentoring.3.MPOWIR website: The website serves as a repository of resources for mentoring and physical oceanography careers.4.Databases and surveys: Regular surveys are conducted to assess the effectiveness of MPOWIR activities, determine community mentoring needs, and evaluate progress in retention.5.Town hall meetings and networking: Events at the Ocean Sciences meeting facilitate networking between physical oceanographers and provide career development information to junior scientists.The website and town hall meetings are open to all, and great emphasis is placed on making material available via the website, to ensure a gender-neutral benefit. Efforts to export the MPOWIR model to other disciplines and institutions will be undertaken via links with the Earth Science Women's Network, and through a quarterly newsletter. Social media will be used to publicize MPOWIR activities, announcement and events. This work, through its focus on the retention of women in the field of physical oceanography, will allow further capitalization on the investment the funding agencies and universities have made on the education of women students. Essentially, the planned activities seek to stem the loss of intellectual capital for the physical oceanographic field, as well as other geoscience disciplines.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项建议是为了进一步继续和丰富指导物理海洋学妇女以增加保留（MPOWIR）方案内的活动。这是一个社区主导的方案，旨在为物理海洋学方面的初级妇女提供指导，以提高她们在该领域的保留率。作为该计划的一部分开展的活动有助于创建一个科学的劳动力，其多样性更紧密地匹配的学生和美国人口。这是通过帮助物理海洋学和其他地球科学学科留住妇女来实现的。该计划于2004年启动，2007年春首次由联邦机构全额资助，2009年又重新启动。社区在2005年秋季的一次规划讲习班上确定的该方案的目标是：（1）提供来自年轻妇女的连续指导？她的研究生生涯，从博士后到正式工作的头几年，（2）在物理海洋学界建立一个集体责任，指导该领域的初级妇女，（3）提供各种指导资源和导师，（4）广泛撒网，避免排他性，以及（5）向所有自认为是物理海洋学家的人开放这一指导计划。具体而言，将开展下列MPOWIR活动：1. Pattullo会议：一年两次的会议，召集约25名初级女物理海洋学家和12名高级物理海洋学家，包括男性和女性，参加为期2.5天的会议，重点是基于学科的指导。由大约6名初级妇女和2名高级妇女组成的物理海洋学家小组每月举行一次电话会议，进行保密的个性化指导。该网站是指导和物理海洋学职业的资源库。4.数据库和调查：定期进行调查，以评估MPOWIR活动的有效性，确定社区指导需求，并评估保留的进展情况。海洋科学会议上的活动促进了物理海洋学家之间的网络联系，并为初级科学家提供职业发展信息。网站和市政厅会议对所有人开放，并非常重视通过网站提供材料，以确保不分性别的利益。将通过与地球科学妇女网络的联系和通过季度通讯，努力将MPOWIR模型输出到其他学科和机构。社交媒体将用于宣传MPOWIR活动，公告和活动。这项工作的重点是留住物理海洋学领域的妇女，因此将使供资机构和大学对女学生教育的投资进一步资本化。从本质上讲，计划中的活动旨在阻止物理海洋学领域以及其他地球科学学科的智力资本损失。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
