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

绝地联盟：地球和环境科学中的公正、公平、多样性和包容性这项NSF包括规划拨款由NSF在全国范围内纳入未被充分代表的工程和科学发现者社区(NSF Includes)资助，这是一项综合性的全国性倡议，旨在通过关注多样性、包容性和扩大对STEM的参与来加强美国在发现和创新方面的领导地位。我们计划资助的目标是利用GOLD社区的合作潜力，以便我们能够了解五个GOLD项目中的每一个项目在教师领导力发展方面为公正、公平、多样性和包容性所学到的东西。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领域的正义、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：1.五个黄金项目中每一个项目的成功和挑战如何广泛地影响扩大参与的领导力发展过程？2.如何将GEO黄金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.黄金学习社区如何有效地将自己转变为一个集体影响社区？4.什么形式的骨干组织最适合绝地联盟的目标和愿望？规划工作将导致创建一个全面的联盟提案，该提案建立在五个黄金项目的基础上，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(绝地)。我们五个黄金项目的共同愿景是发展外地领导小组的能力，以查明和纠正妨碍扩大全球教育系统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大量实地工作并在偏远研究地点工作的学科。我们的规划努力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。

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.
