EAGER: DEIBA STARS (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility Skill-building and Transfer in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences)

该项目通过提供一种机制来识别、招募、提拔和支持越来越多的多元化领导者，从而实现了黄金时代渴望框架的目标。它将通过发展他们的技能来维护多样性，并将他们纳入美国气象学会(AMS)广泛的志愿者结构，从而增强这些领导人的能力。这种志愿者结构覆盖了学术界、政府和私营部门。该项目将有多样性、公平性和包容性培训方面的专家参与，以扩大和磨练DEIBA STAR(大气及相关科学中的多样性、公平性、包容性、归属感和可获得性技能培养和迁移)课程，这是培养成功的多样性领导者所需的。它还将提供一种机制，将该课程应用于社区的早期职业成员，并随着这些人进入领导角色，扩大其在社区广泛范围内的影响。拟议的DEIBA STAR项目将与DEIBA专家合作，完善课程，用于扩大早期职业领导力学院(ECLA)课程。它将通过志愿者服务提供锻炼他们新的领导技能的途径，同时还通过与他们的专业知识和职业目标相一致的计划建立他们的专业网络，从而为职业早期专业人员提供服务。它还吸纳了受过DEIBA培训的人员，他们除了可以在本国组织中开展其他形式的参与外，还拥有在医疗辅助队志愿者结构中促进积极文化变革的技能。关键的是，这种方法还将通过加强他们的同行网络来帮助留住历史上代表性不足的群体的成员，这可以作为一个强大的支持系统，并通过为这些个人提供新的职业满足感和职业晋升机会。这一奖项反映了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。

This project meets the goals of the GOLD-EN EAGER framework by providing a mechanism to identify, recruit, promote, and support a growing cohort of diversity leaders. It will empower those leaders by developing their skill to champion diversity and by inserting them into the extensive volunteer structure of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). That volunteer structure reaches across the academic, government, and private sectors. The project will involve experts in diversity, equity, and inclusion training to expand and hone the DEIBA STARS (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility Skill-building and Transfer in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences) curriculum needed for professional development to produce successful diversity leaders. It will also offer a mechanism to apply that curriculum to early career members of the community and expand their impact across the breadth of the community as those individuals move into leadership roles. The proposed DEIBA STARS project will work with DEIBA experts to hone curricula for use in expanded Early Career Leadership Academy (ECLA) programing. It will serve early career professionals by providing pathways to exercise their new leadership skills through volunteer service, while also building their professional networks in programs that align with their expertise and career goals. It also engages individuals trained in DEIBA who have the skills to promote positive cultural change in the AMS volunteer structure in addition to other forms of engagement they can exercise at their home organizations. Critically, this approach will also help retain members of historically underrepresented groups by enhancing their peer networks, which can serve as a strong support system, and by providing these individuals with new opportunities for professional satisfaction and career advancement.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.
