NSF INCLUDES Planning Grant: JEDI Alliance: Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Geo-and Environmental Sciences

JEDI联盟：地球与环境科学的公正、公平、多样性和包容性这项NSF INCLUDES规划拨款由NSF包容性全国工程和科学领域未被充分代表的发现者学习者社区（NSF INCLUDES）资助，这是一项全面的国家倡议，旨在通过关注多样性、包容性和扩大STEM的大规模参与来增强美国在发现和创新方面的领导地位。我们计划拨款的目标是利用GOLD社区的合作潜力，以便我们能够了解五个GOLD项目中每个项目在正义，公平，多样性和包容性方面的教师领导力发展方面的经验。我们还希望将这些战略结合成一个国家联盟，专门关注地球和环境科学的公正、公平、多样性和包容性。鉴于这些目标，四个首要问题将指导我们的调查：1。五个GOLD项目的成功和挑战如何广泛地为培养领导力以扩大参与的过程提供信息？2. 如何将GEO GOLD的组成部分编织成一个全面的领导模式，以扩大参与？如何在不同的项目中衡量影响？GOLD学习社区如何有效地将自己转变为一个集体影响力社区？4. 什么形式的骨干组织最能服务于JEDI联盟的目标和愿望？规划工作将导致在五个GOLD项目的基础上创建一个全面的联盟提案，并创建一个国家联盟，以影响地球和环境科学领域的变革文化，促进正义、公平、多样性和包容性（JEDI）。我们五个GOLD项目的共同愿景是发展该领域领导团队的能力，以识别和纠正阻碍扩大GES参与努力的组织做法。虽然我们的重点是地球科学，但我们的努力将适用于涉及重要实地工作和在远程研究地点工作的学科。我们的规划工作还将导致确定一个强大的骨干组织，使我们能够通过协调沟通、数据收集和集体决策产生真正的集体影响。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。

JEDI Alliance: Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Geo- and Environmental SciencesThis NSF INCLUDES planning grant is funded by NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES), a comprehensive national initiative to enhance U.S. leadership in discoveries and innovations by focusing on diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in STEM at scale. The goal of our planning grant is to harness the collaborative potential of the GOLD community so that we can understand what each of the five GOLD projects has learned regarding faculty leadership development for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. We also want to combine these strategies into a national alliance focused specifically on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the geo- and environmental sciences. Given these goals, four overarching questions will guide our inquiry: 1. How do the successes and challenges of each of the five GOLD projects broadly inform the process of developing leadership for broadening participation? 2. How can the component pieces from GEO GOLD be woven into a comprehensive model for leadership for broadening participation? How is impact measured across the diverse projects?3. How does the GOLD learning community effectively transform itself into a collective impact community? 4. What form of a backbone organization best serves the goals and aspirations of the JEDI Alliance? Planning efforts will lead to the creation of a comprehensive alliance proposal that builds on the groundwork of the five GOLD projects and creates a national alliance to influence a culture of change within the geo- and environmental sciences that promotes justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI). The shared vision of our five GOLD projects is to develop the capacity of leadership teams within the field to identify and redress organizational practices that impede broadening participation efforts in the GES. Although we focus on the geosciences, our efforts will be applicable to disciplines in which there is significant fieldwork involved and working in remote research locations. Our planning efforts will also result in identifying a robust backbone organization that will allow us to have true collective impact through coordinated communication, data collection, and collective decision-making.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.
