Georgia Institute of Technology (i.e., Georgia Tech), in collaboration with Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College and Morehouse College, will host 10 undergraduate students per year over 3 years (Summers 2020, 2021 and 2022) to conduct research within topics that span Atmospheric Science, Oceanography and the Geosciences (AOG). Selected undergraduate participants will work with faculty mentors over a 10-week period that have well established research programs on topics that include meteorology, climate science, geophysics, oceanography and planetary science. Additionally, students will participate in a number of professional development opportunities in concert with pre-existing REU programming at Georgia Tech. This includes regular group meetings, a weekly AOG professional development series, team-building activities, undergraduate research symposia and field trips to AOG-related industrial and government sector organizations. At the end of the program, students will produce a conference-style research presentation and research poster as well as a research paper that may potentially lead to publication of their research. It is anticipated that these research products will prepare participants for graduate school opportunities within the atmospheric, oceanographic, geoscience and related disciplines.The primary aims of the multi-institutional NSF REU program in AOG are to: (i) provide high quality research experiences and professional development activities for cohorts of visiting undergraduate researchers, (ii) motivate and prepare talented undergraduates to pursue, and succeed in, graduate study, (iii) assemble a cadre of participants that reflects the diversity of the U.S. population, (iv) attract students from institutions that have limited research activities, (v) continue engagement of the participants beyond the summer program when they return to their home institutions and (vi) foster collaborations in research and instruction between the four institutions in the consortium. The program seeks to enhance interactions between the institutions in the consortium and thereby enhance the capacity for research at predominantly undergraduate minority-serving institutions. Furthermore, it is expected that the collaboration within the consortium will provide an opportunity to recruit and train a diverse group of participants, both from within the consortium and across the nation. The professional development activities described above, in partnership with other pre-existing REU programming at Georgia Tech, serve to acquaint participants with a broad array of projects, enhance their presentation skills, and provide a perspective of AOG research in a scholarly, entrepreneurial, economic, ethical and interdisciplinary framework.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.

佐治亚理工学院（即佐治亚理工学院）与克拉克亚特兰大大学、斯佩尔曼学院和莫尔豪斯学院合作，将在3年内（2020年、2021年和2022年夏季）每年接待10名本科生，进行大气科学、海洋学和地球科学（AOG）主题的研究。被选中的本科生参与者将在为期10周的时间里与教师导师一起工作，这些导师在气象学、气候科学、地球物理学、海洋学和行星科学等主题上都有完善的研究项目。此外，学生还将参加一些与佐治亚理工学院已有的REU项目相一致的专业发展机会。这包括定期的小组会议、每周一次的AOG专业发展系列、团队建设活动、本科生研究专题讨论会以及与AOG相关的工业和政府部门组织的实地考察。在课程结束时，学生将制作一份会议式的研究报告和研究海报，以及一份可能导致他们的研究发表的研究论文。预计这些研究成果将为参与者在大气、海洋学、地球科学和相关学科的研究生院提供机会。美国国家科学基金会在AOG的多机构REU项目的主要目标是：(i)为来访的本科生研究人员提供高质量的研究经验和专业发展活动，（ii）激励和准备有才华的本科生在研究生学习中取得成功，（iii）组建一个反映美国人口多样性的参与者骨干，（iv）吸引研究活动有限的机构的学生，(v)在暑期项目结束后，当参与者回到他们的家乡院校时，继续参与其中；（vi）促进联盟中四个院校之间在研究和教学方面的合作。该计划旨在加强联盟机构之间的互动，从而提高以少数民族本科生为主的机构的研究能力。此外，预计联盟内部的合作将提供一个机会，从联盟内部和全国各地招募和培训不同的参与者群体。上述专业发展活动与佐治亚理工学院其他已有的REU项目合作，旨在使参与者熟悉广泛的项目，提高他们的演讲技巧，并在学术、企业、经济、道德和跨学科框架中提供AOG研究的视角。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。
