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.

一.海岸和河口研究联合会(海岸和河口研究联合会)阐明了扩大对沿海和河口科学的参与的充分组织承诺。CERF制定了一个全面的计划，旨在提高我们的科学协会和CERF会议的多样性和包容性。该计划的总体目标是促进所有代表不足和服务不足的少数群体的机会，同时培养一种在整个组织内积极参与和利用多样性的文化。不断上涨的潮流有意肯定和促进各种形式的多样性的价值，包括个人在种族和民族背景、性别、性取向、民族和身体能力方面的差异。2.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URM个人与白人和亚洲人之间，美国STEM教育程度仍然存在巨大差距，沿海和河口科学在URM代表性方面也面临着类似的差距。认识到这一差距并纳入中央应急基金社区支持和满足所有成员个人需求的方式的根本性变化，中央应急基金在2019年11月举行的2019年双年度会议上寻求资金，以支持多样性和包容性努力。具体地说，这些努力包括：(1)在两个会议周期内促进URM学生的专业发展，包括队列建设、指导和参与以URM为重点的研讨会、科学会议和其他会议活动；(2)通过向所有与会者开放的研讨会和整个会议期间的额外学习机会，建设CERF实现DEI目标的能力；以及(3)通过在整个会议中注入DEI，确保CERF社区的广泛参与。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。
