The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and The Coastal Society will design, organize and host a virtual workshop series for professional development of early career marine science students, particularly those who are attending Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) or who are from groups historically excluded from ocean science careers. The project will aid undergraduates considering a graduate degree, graduate students seeking their terminal degree, and graduates embarking on their career pathway. Evidence in the recent educational research literature and informal feedback from faculty and students at MSIs confirm the value of professional development and mentoring. Efforts to enlist faculty as co-facilitators will extend the merit of the proposed work well beyond the students who attend the events. The project will involve faculty from sixteen MSIs to work in clusters of four with the workshop organizers to tailor the professional development training according to the needs of the students at their institutions. Four sets of events will be hosted for students at those MSIs, with a projected attendance of a few hundred students. The agendas, speakers, content, and format for these events can serve as models for the faculty to use in future years, thereby positively impacting future students in their programs.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.

美国国家大气研究中心（NCAR）和海岸学会将设计、组织和主办一个虚拟系列研讨会，以帮助早期职业海洋科学学生，特别是那些就读于少数民族服务机构（MSI）或历史上被排除在海洋科学事业之外的群体的学生的专业发展。该项目将帮助考虑攻读研究生学位的本科生、寻求最终学位的研究生以及走上职业道路的毕业生。最近的教育研究文献和来自管理学院教师和学生的非正式反馈的证据证实了专业发展和指导的价值。努力争取教师作为共同调解人将扩大所提议的工作的价值远远超出参加活动的学生。该项目将涉及来自16所管理学院的教师，他们将以4人一组的形式与研讨会组织者一起工作，根据各自学院学生的需要量身定制专业发展培训。这些管理学院将为学生举办四场活动，预计将有数百名学生参加。这些活动的议程、演讲者、内容和形式可以作为教师在未来几年使用的模型，从而对未来的学生产生积极的影响。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
