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

JEDI联盟：正义，公平，多样性和包容性在地理和环境科学这NSF包括规划赠款是由NSF包容性在工程和科学（NSF包括），一个全面的国家倡议，以加强美国的社区的学习者的国家包容性在发现和创新的领导，通过关注多样性，包容性，并扩大参与STEM的规模。我们的规划补助金的目标是利用黄金社区的合作潜力，使我们能够了解五个黄金项目中的每一个都学到了关于教师领导力发展的正义，公平，多样性和包容性。 我们还希望将这些战略联合收割机整合成一个全国性的联盟，专门关注地球和环境科学领域的公正、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项目中的每一个项目的成功和挑战如何广泛地为发展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？如何衡量不同项目的影响？3. GOLD学习社区如何有效地将自己转变为一个集体影响社区？4. 哪种形式的骨干组织最能满足JEDI联盟的目标和愿望？规划工作将导致创建一个全面的联盟提案，该提案建立在五个GOLD项目的基础上，并创建一个国家联盟，以影响地理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）。 我们的五个GOLD项目的共同愿景是发展外地领导团队的能力，以查明和纠正阻碍扩大GES参与努力的组织做法。 虽然我们专注于地球科学，但我们的努力将适用于涉及重大实地工作和在偏远研究地点工作的学科。我们的规划工作也将导致确定一个强大的骨干组织，这将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。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

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.
