The goal of this Faculty Development in Space Science (FDSS) project is to enable a new faculty hire in solar-heliospheric physics at the Institute for Astronomy (IfA) of the University of Hawaii (UH). The IfA is heavily involved in experimental, observational, data analysis, and modeling investigations of the magnetized solar atmosphere of the Sun, starting from the solar surface and expanding outwards to form the solar corona and the solar wind. The solar program at the IfA, which focuses on a critical-mass faculty and a recently growing number of graduate and undergraduate students engaged in solar research, is designed to have a broad educational impact as we develop a premier center for solar and space physics education in the U.S. The UH is a minority serving higher education institution. This 5-year FDSS program will have a significant impact on UH's undergraduate as well as graduate programs. The engagement of solar faculty in the undergraduate program gives them direct access to a highly diverse group of students, with significant representation from minorities and under-represented groups. Direct involvement with the IfA's graduate program, together with plans for a new graduate course in solar and heliospheric physics, solar faculty can engage graduates in the different aspects of solar research, ranging from instrumentation, to DKIST, data analysis and modeling. In the past, the IfA's solar research programs in Manoa and Haleakala have demonstrated major breakthroughs for advancing our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the solar corona and solar wind. By capitalizing on their unique expertise, members of the solar group at the IfA are engaged in exploring the different facets of solar magnetism, and its role in the dynamics of the Sun's atmosphere. With the advent of the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) first light in 2020, and with the two first light instruments being designed and built by two members of the group, the IfA's solar group is in an enviable position to achieve excellence. It is within this environment that this group is receiving NSF's support to expand its diversity and synergy by complementing their strength with a junior faculty appointment with expertise in modeling and/or theory. This opportunity comes at an ideal time not only for individual success, but also for the IfA's solar physics graduate education program, which has been expanding markedly over the past two years. Hawaii scientists are also in an enviable position of having 12.5% guaranteed observing time on DKIST, a priceless commodity for propelling the success of the new faculty. The research and EPO agenda of this 5-year FDSS project supports the Strategic Goals of the AGS Division in discovery, learning, diversity, and interdisciplinary research.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.

该空间科学系发展项目的目标是在夏威夷大学天文学研究所招聘一名新的太阳-日球层物理学教员。IFA主要参与太阳磁化太阳大气的实验、观测、数据分析和建模研究，从太阳表面开始，向外扩展，形成日冕和太阳风。IFA的太阳能项目专注于临界质量的教职员工和最近越来越多的从事太阳能研究的研究生和本科生，旨在产生广泛的教育影响，因为我们在美国发展了一个一流的太阳能和空间物理教育中心。这一为期5年的FDSS课程将对密歇根大学的本科生和研究生课程产生重大影响。太阳能教师参与本科项目使他们能够直接接触到高度多样化的学生群体，这些学生中有很大一部分来自少数族裔和代表性不足的群体。通过直接参与IFA的研究生课程，以及新的太阳和日球层物理研究生课程的计划，太阳能教员可以让毕业生参与太阳研究的不同方面，从仪器到DKIST、数据分析和建模。过去，IFA在马诺阿和哈雷卡拉的太阳研究计划在促进我们对日冕和太阳风的结构和动力学的理解方面取得了重大突破。通过利用他们独特的专业知识，IFA的太阳能小组成员致力于探索太阳磁性的不同方面，以及它在太阳大气动力学中的作用。随着丹尼尔·K·井上太阳望远镜(DKIST)在2020年第一次亮相，以及两个第一批光仪器由该小组的两名成员设计和制造，IFA的太阳能小组处于令人羡慕的地位，取得了卓越的成就。正是在这种环境下，这一群体得到了NSF的支持，通过补充他们的力量，任命具有建模和/或理论专业知识的初级教员来扩大其多样性和协同效应。这一机会不仅对个人成功来说是一个理想的时机，对IFA的太阳物理研究生教育项目也是如此，该项目在过去两年里一直在显著扩大。夏威夷的科学家也处于令人羡慕的地位，他们在DKIST上有12.5%的保证观察时间，这是推动新教师成功的无价商品。这个为期5年的FDSS项目的研究和EPO议程支持AGS部门在发现、学习、多样性和跨学科研究方面的战略目标。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。
