GP-GO: Building Latinx Pathways into Geoscience Graduate Education through R1-HSI-Nonprofit Collaborations

该项目将通过接触研究机会，发展与研究活跃实验室的关系，以及点对点的指导，为Latinx学生建立进入地球科学（地球，海洋和大气）的途径。加强多样性的努力必须解决系统性问题，以确保留住人才。PI寻求建立一个可转让的，可持续的模式，以提高拉丁裔参与和保留地球科学通过合作-基于深度信任和平等-密歇根州立大学州立大学（MSU;研究型大学），东北伊利诺伊大学（NEIU;西班牙裔服务机构）和GeoLatinas（拉丁裔为重点的组织）之间。这一努力将建立包容性的体制结构，为拉丁美洲学生提供可持续的途径，进入研究生培训的地球科学，在密歇根州立大学及以后。这种结构改革的努力将通过促进包容性来加强多样性，从而使学生留在研究生一级，并在学生进入地球科学相关职业时建立支助系统。拉丁裔学生在地球科学领域的代表性严重不足。在这一点上，该项目提出了四个目标：1。招收来自不同科学的拉丁美洲本科生进入地球科学研究生院; 2。支持社会化进入研究生院和地球科学职业; 3.通过常规的实地和虚拟互动进行指导;以及4.推进拉丁学者，因为他们进入和从事地球科学劳动力。活动在研究生社会化的四个阶段，加上第五个幸福阶段接地。所有三个伙伴组织将合作实现这些目标。来自所有科学的本科生/应届毕业生将通过NEIU的研讨会，MSU的研究生般的研究经验，以及专注于指导和专业及个人发展的GeoLatinas虚拟互动，接触到地球科学研究生的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为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来支持。

This project will build pathways into geoscience (earth, oceanic, and atmospheric) for Latinx students through exposure to research opportunities, developing relationships with research active laboratories, and peer-to-peer mentoring. Efforts to enhance diversity must address systemic issues in order to ensure retention. The PIs seek to build a transferable, sustainable model for enhancing Latinx participation and retention in geoscience through collaboration – based in deep trust and equality – between Michigan State University (MSU; research university), Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU; Hispanic-serving institution), and GeoLatinas (Latinx-focused organization). This effort will build inclusive institutional structures that will provide sustainable pathways for Latinx students to enter graduate training in the geosciences, at MSU and beyond. This effort towards structural reform will enhance diversity through the promotion of inclusion, leading to retention at the graduate level and the establishment of support systems as students move into geoscience related careers. Latinx students are severely underrepresented in geoscience. To this point, the project addresses four goals: 1. Recruit Latinx undergraduates from diverse sciences into geoscience graduate school; 2. Support socialization into graduate school and geoscience careers; 3. Mentor via routine on-the-ground and virtual interactions; and 4. Advance Latinx scholars as they enter and engage with the geoscience workforce. Activities are grounded in four stages of Graduate Student Socialization, plus a fifth Wellbeing stage. All three partner organizations will collaborate to meet these goals. Undergraduates/recent graduates from all sciences will be exposed to geoscience graduate opportunities through workshops at NEIU, graduate-like research experiences at MSU, and GeoLatinas virtual interactions focused on mentoring and professional and personal development.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.
