Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE) proposes two series of workshops, with estimated attendance of 100 people per series that will provide the knowledge, skills, and pathways to make meaningful improvements in the area of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ). The series will be divided into two tracks: one for coastal conservation grantmakers and one for coastal conservation project implementers. Each track will include content informed by a Working Group comprised of representatives of diverse, well-respected organizations within these target sectors. The first-hand input from people who work in these sectors will ensure the appropriateness and applicability of these workshops. Information will be gathered and developed into content by a consultant with expertise in DEIJ and supported by RAE in contextualizing this around coastal conservation. By aligning the funding sources with the demand for funding, this series can help re-orient funding and projects to improve DEIJ in coastal conservation work.Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE) seeks to build upon a recent workshop effort to create broader and deeper impact around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) issues across the coastal conservation sector and coastal communities nationwide. The current proposed workshop supports the following vision: “America’s estuaries, bays, and coasts are resources for all people and should be safe, accessible, and enjoyed by all; efforts to restore and expand these resources must ensure that costs and benefits of any project are equitably distributed across all communities and that historic inequity of these costs and benefits are remediated through expanded investments.” This project will advance the DEIJ vision through engagement with two audiences: grantmakers and project implementers. RAE proposes the following workshop objectives: 1) Create a group of leading grantmakers and implementers of coastal restorations and conservation to commit to improving DEIJ in their operations. 2) Ensure coastal conservation grantmakers are equipped with knowledge and tools to help them address barriers related to DEIJ issues in their grantmaking processes, and provide them with a pathway to an improved degree of inclusivity and effectiveness. 3) Ensure coastal conservation project implementers are equipped with knowledge and tools to help them address barriers related to DEIJ issues in their efforts to plan, launch, and conduct their projects, while also supporting efforts to better incorporate DEIJ principles in these projects. 4) Facilitate sharing of information among participants to help them implement improved processes. 5) Promote best practices and lessons learned to the coastal conservation community.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.

恢复美国的河口（RAE）提出了两个系列的研讨会，估计每个系列的出席人数为100人，将提供知识，技能和途径，使多样性，公平，包容和正义（DEIJ）领域有意义的改进。该系列将分为两个轨道：一个是沿海保护赠款者，一个是沿海保护项目执行者。每个轨道都将包括由这些目标部门内各种备受尊敬的组织的代表组成的工作组提供的内容。来自这些部门工作人员的第一手投入将确保这些讲习班的适当性和适用性。信息将由一名具有DEIJ专业知识的顾问收集并开发成内容，并由RAE支持，围绕沿海保护进行背景化。通过调整资金来源与资金需求，这一系列可以帮助重新定位资金和项目，以改善DEIJ在沿海保护工作.恢复美国的河口（RAE）旨在建立在最近的研讨会努力创造更广泛和更深入的影响，围绕多样性，公平，包容性和正义（DEIJ）问题在沿海保护部门和全国沿海社区.目前拟议的研讨会支持以下愿景：“美国的河口，海湾和海岸是所有人的资源，应该是安全的，可访问的，所有人都可以享受;恢复和扩大这些资源的努力必须确保任何项目的成本和收益在所有社区中公平分配，并通过扩大投资来纠正这些成本和收益的历史不公平。 该项目将通过与两个受众的接触来推进DEIJ的愿景：赠款者和项目实施者。RAE提出了以下研讨会目标：1）创建一个领先的赠款者和沿海保护和保护的实施者小组，致力于改善DEIJ的运作。2)确保沿海保护赠款人配备知识和工具，以帮助他们解决与DEIJ问题有关的障碍，并为他们提供一条提高包容性和有效性的途径。3)确保沿海保护项目实施者具备知识和工具，以帮助他们解决与DEIJ问题有关的障碍，以计划，启动和开展项目，同时支持努力更好地将DEIJ原则纳入这些项目。4)促进参与者之间的信息共享，以帮助他们实施改进的流程。5)该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
