Universities across the United States play a crucial role in preparing the nation's future generations for success and working to achieve Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) goals at regional, state, and national levels. Throughout the workforce, geoscientists are in demand, however a shortage of 135,000 geoscientists has been predicted by 2022. This collaborative project will establish a career-training program which will prepare students for the workforce. This will be achieved through partnerships with professionals throughout academia, government, and industry during which students will gain insight into potential careers post-graduation, and student-led research projects where students will be provided with opportunities to develop and enhance their transferrable skill set. This program has therefore been purposefully designed to facilitate the efficient and effective training the next generation of scientists who will enter the workforce. The program has been designed to systematically recruit 16 students each year across two college campuses (Miami University Oxford and Miami University Hamilton). Enrolled students will have the opportunity to undertake a research project of their own design at a field site. Each student will also have the opportunity to present their own work to the local, regional, national, and international communities both in person and virtually. As students progress through the program a peer-to-peer and student-faculty mentorship program will be established which will also work to foster student motivation, encourage critical thinking, and develop communication skills. Results from this program will be disseminated to the community through presentations and publications throughout the duration of the project.The GEOPATHS:EXTRA Advancing Undergraduate Geosciences through Integrated Training Experiences (GP-AUGITE) project will take place on the campus at Miami University, Oxford, OH (main campus, MUO) and Miami University, Hamilton, OH (regional campus, MUH) with a field site in Tonopah, NV. This training-focused, student-centered program has been developed in order to enhance the undergraduate geoscience experience and promote career-readiness. Through a set of evidence-based approaches this program will integrate experiential learning, relevant disciplinary research, scientific communication, and professional development through certification, into the undergraduate curriculum. The program will be internally evaluated through proven metrics of self-assessment, and externally evaluated through a collaboration with the University of Cincinnati Evaluation Services Center. This program will foster an exciting, dynamic learning environment by systematically recruiting traditional and traditionally underrepresented undergraduate students in the STEM fields. The integrative approach aligns to the teacher-scholar model and demonstrates a strong commitment to the training of a STEM-literate population, and a career-ready geoscience workforce.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.

美国各地的大学在培养国家未来几代人取得成功以及努力实现地区、州和国家层面的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）目标方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在整个劳动力市场中，地球科学家都是供不应求的，但预计到2022年，地球科学家的缺口将达到13.5万。这个合作项目将建立一个职业培训计划，帮助学生为劳动力做好准备。这将通过与学术界、政府和工业界的专业人士合作来实现，在此期间，学生将深入了解毕业后的潜在职业，以及学生主导的研究项目，学生将有机会发展和提高他们的可转移技能。因此，该项目旨在促进对即将进入劳动力市场的下一代科学家进行高效和有效的培训。该项目旨在系统地每年在两个大学校园（迈阿密大学牛津分校和迈阿密大学汉密尔顿分校）招收16名学生。注册的学生将有机会在实地进行自己设计的研究项目。每个学生也将有机会亲自或虚拟地向当地、地区、国家和国际社会展示自己的作品。随着学生在该项目中的进步，将建立一个对等和师生指导计划，这也将有助于培养学生的动力，鼓励批判性思维，并发展沟通技巧。该计划的成果将在整个项目期间通过演讲和出版物向社区传播。GEOPATHS：通过综合培训经验进一步推进本科地球科学（GP-AUGITE）项目将在俄亥俄州牛津市迈阿密大学（主校区，MUO）和俄亥俄州汉密尔顿市迈阿密大学（区域校区，MUH）的校园内进行，并在内华达州托诺帕市设有一个实地基地。这个以培训为重点、以学生为中心的项目旨在增强本科生的地球科学经验，促进职业准备。通过一系列循证方法，该项目将体验式学习、相关学科研究、科学交流和通过认证的专业发展整合到本科课程中。该项目将通过经过验证的自我评估指标进行内部评估，并通过与辛辛那提大学评估服务中心的合作进行外部评估。该项目将通过系统地招收STEM领域的传统和传统代表性不足的本科生，营造一个令人兴奋、充满活力的学习环境。这种综合方法与教师-学者模式相一致，并表明了对培养具有stem素养的人口和职业准备的地球科学劳动力的坚定承诺。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
