CERF's Rising TIDES (Toward an Inclusive, Diverse, and Enriched Society) workshop will support broader, cross-cutting efforts by the NSF to increase participation in STEM by under-represented minority (URM) individuals. Support of this workshop strengthens CERF’s commitment to and capacity in broadening participation, including participation in an NSF INCLUDES Alliance and additional URM activities. Through this workshop, CERF will leverage other NSF-funded programs, specifically the INCLUDES SEAS Islands Alliance and IUSE:GEOPAths C-StREAM projects. The proposed morning workshop session will be dedicated to building and strengthening relationships between underrepresented student scholars (URSS) and professional and near-peer mentors, inspiring URSS participants to see themselves as science professionals and part of the CERF and coastal and estuarine science and management community, and providing URSS with tools useful to achieve their career goals. The afternoon workshop session will train participants on addressing implicit bias in their academic and professional settings; the session will be open to all CERF conference attendees (with 50 anticipated workshop attendees). The afternoon workshop develops diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) champions who can return to home institutions with additional DEI skills. Efforts begun at the workshops will be scaled up throughout the conference through various structured activities involving student and professional participants.Broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is widely recognized as critical to the science and engineering enterprise. There is still a wide gap in U.S. STEM educational attainment between URM individuals and whites and Asians, and coastal and estuarine science faces similar gaps in URM representation. In recognition of this gap and to incorporate fundamental change in the way the CERF community supports and addresses the individual needs of all members, CERF seeks to support diversity and inclusion efforts at its 2021 Biennial Conference. Specifically, these efforts include: (1) enhance URSS professional development, including cohort building, mentoring, and participation in a URSS-focused workshop, scientific sessions, and other conference and post-conference activities; (2) build the capacity of CERF to achieve DEI objectives through a workshop open to all attendees, and through additional learning opportunities throughout the conference; and (3) ensure broad engagement of the CERF community by infusing DEI throughout the conference. Evaluation of the workshop and broader conference DEI efforts will improve future Rising TIDES actions and provide transferrable lessons for similar DEI conference programming.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.

SERF的上升趋势(走向一个包容、多样化和丰富的社会)研讨会将支持NSF更广泛、更交叉的努力，以增加未被充分代表的少数族裔(URM)个人对STEM的参与。对这次研讨会的支持加强了CERF在扩大参与方面的承诺和能力，包括参与NSF包括联盟和其他URM活动。通过这次研讨会，CERF将利用国家科学基金会资助的其他项目，特别是包括SEA岛屿联盟和IUSE：GEOPAth C-STREAM项目。拟议的上午研讨会将致力于建立和加强代表不足的学生学者(URSS)与专业和接近同行的导师之间的关系，激励URSS参与者将自己视为科学专业人员和CERF以及沿海和河口科学和管理界的一部分，并为URSS提供实现其职业目标的有用工具。下午的讲习班将对与会者进行培训，以解决其学术和专业环境中的隐性偏见问题；该讲习班将向所有CERF会议与会者开放(预计将有50名讲习班与会者)。下午的研讨会培养多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)冠军，他们可以带着额外的DEI技能回到国内机构。从研讨会开始的努力将通过学生和专业人员参加的各种有组织的活动在整个会议期间扩大。广泛参与科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)被广泛认为是科学和工程事业的关键。在URM个人与白人和亚洲人之间，美国STEM教育程度仍然存在巨大差距，沿海和河口科学在URM代表性方面也面临着类似的差距。为了认识到这一差距，并纳入中央应急基金社区支持和满足所有成员个人需求的方式的根本变化，中央应急基金寻求在其2021年双年度会议上支持多样性和包容性努力。具体地说，这些努力包括：(1)加强城市发展基金的专业发展，包括群体建设、指导和参与以城市发展战略为重点的研讨会、科学会议以及其他会议和会后活动；(2)通过向所有与会者开放的讲习班以及通过在整个会议期间提供更多的学习机会，建设中央应急基金实现可持续发展倡议目标的能力；以及(3)通过在整个会议期间灌输可持续发展倡议，确保中央应急基金社区的广泛参与。对研讨会和更广泛的会议Dei工作的评估将改进未来的涨潮行动，并为类似的Dei会议计划提供可借鉴的经验教训。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。
