I. The Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) has articulated full organizational commitment to broadening participation in coastal and estuarine science. CERF developed Rising TIDES (Toward an Inclusive, Diverse, and Enriched Society) as a comprehensive program for enhancing the diversity and inclusion of our scientific society and CERF conferences. The overall goals of this program are to promote opportunities for all underrepresented and underserved minorities while cultivating a culture that actively engages and leverages diversity throughout our organization. Rising TIDES intentionally affirms and promotes the value of diversity in all forms, including differences among individuals in racial and ethnic backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, nationalities, and physical abilities.II. Broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is widely recognized as critical to the science and engineering enterprise. There is still a wide gap in U.S. STEM educational attainment between URM individuals and whites and Asians, and coastal and estuarine science faces similar gaps in URM representation. In recognition of this gap and to incorporatefundamental change in the way the CERF community supports and addresses the individual needs of all members, CERF seeks funding to support diversity and inclusion efforts at its 2019 Biennial Conference in November 2019. Specifically, these efforts include: (1) enhance URM student professional development throughout a two-conference cycle, including cohort building, mentoring, and participationin a URM-focused workshop, scientific sessions, and other conference activities; (2) build the capacity of CERF to achieve DEI objectives through a workshop open to all attendees, and through additional learning opportunities throughout the conference; and (3) ensure broad engagement of the CERF community by infusing DEI throughout the conference.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.

1 .沿海和河口研究联合会（中央循环基金）已明确表示了对扩大参与沿海和河口科学的充分组织承诺。中央应急基金开发了Rising TIDES（迈向包容、多样化和丰富的社会），作为加强我们的科学社会和中央应急基金会议的多样性和包容性的综合计划。该计划的总体目标是为所有未被充分代表和服务不足的少数群体提供机会，同时在我们的组织中培养一种积极参与和利用多样性的文化。Rising TIDES有意肯定并促进各种形式多样性的价值，包括个人在种族和民族背景、性别、性取向、国籍和身体能力方面的差异。人们普遍认为，扩大对科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）的参与对科学和工程事业至关重要。在美国，URM个体与白人和亚洲人在STEM教育程度上仍然存在很大差距，沿海和河口科学在URM代表方面也面临着类似的差距。为了认识到这一差距，并从根本上改变中央应急基金社区支持和解决所有成员个人需求的方式，中央应急基金将在2019年11月举行的2019年两年一次的会议上寻求资金，以支持多样性和包容性工作。具体而言，这些努力包括：(1)在两个会议周期内加强URM学生的专业发展，包括建立队列，指导和参与URM重点研讨会，科学会议和其他会议活动；(2)通过向所有与会者开放的讲习班和在整个会议期间提供额外的学习机会，建立中央应急循环基金实现可持续发展目标的能力；(3)确保中央应急循环基金社区的广泛参与，在整个会议期间注入DEI。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。
