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年夏季、2021年夏季和2022年夏季)每年接待10名本科生，开展涵盖大气科学、海洋学和地球科学(AOG)的研究。选定的本科生学员将在为期10周的时间里与教师导师合作，教师导师在气象学、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计划。此外，学生还将参与佐治亚理工学院已有的REU项目所提供的一系列职业发展机会。这包括定期的小组会议、每周的AOG专业发展系列、团队建设活动、本科生研究座谈会以及到与AOG相关的工业和政府部门组织的实地考察。在项目结束时，学生将制作一份会议风格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。预计这些研究产品将为参与者在大气、海洋、地球科学和相关学科的研究生院机会做好准备。AOG的多机构NSF REU计划的主要目标是：(I)为来访的本科生队列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追求并成功攻读研究生，(Iii)组建一支反映美国人口多样性的参与者干部队伍，(Iv)吸引研究活动有限的机构的学生，(V)在暑期课程结束后，继续让学员在回国后继续参与；(Vi)促进联合体中的四个机构在研究和教学方面的合作。该方案旨在加强联合体中各机构之间的互动，从而提高以本科生为主的少数族裔服务机构的研究能力。此外，预计财团内部的合作将提供一个机会，从财团内部和全国范围内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先前存在的REU计划合作，旨在帮助参与者熟悉一系列广泛的项目，提高他们的陈述技能，并在学术、创业、经济、伦理和跨学科框架内提供AOG研究的视角。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
