This project aims to host a four-day summit with fifteen leaders from Geoscience organizations with a demonstrated interest in improving belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity (BeAJEDI). The summit will provide these leaders with opportunities to share successful strategies for improving BeAJEDI in Geoscience. Leaders at the summit will design a conference where ~100-300 Geoscientists network, present their research, and share successful strategies for improving BeAJEDI in Geoscience. The summit will thus begin the process of increasing interagency and interpersonal sharing, design, and refinement of the strategies used to strengthen BeAJEDI in Geoscience.The main goal of this project is to host a four-day summit with 15 leaders from the largest and or influential Geoscience organizations with a demonstrated interest in improving belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity (BeAJEDI) in Geoscience. Summit participants will collaboratively design a conference workshop while sharing successful strategies for improving BeAJEDI for Geoscientists of Color. This designed workshop will be primarily attended by Geoscientists and will allow attendees to present research and network. The workshop will also include surveying and interviewing attendees to collect information that are germane for successfully recruiting and retaining People of Color within Geoscience. The questions that the surveys and interviews seek to answer are:1. What attracts People of Color to Geoscience?2. What are the experiences of Geoscientists of Color?3. What do full belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity look like to Geoscientists of Color? Alongside developing a novel method of answering the questions listed above, this project's broader impacts are strengthened by including a mentorship component. The summit will pair early-career researchers interested in BeAJEDI issues with established and experienced individuals. The early-career researchers will gain conference proposal writing experience while expanding their network.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.

该项目旨在与来自地球科学组织的15位领导人举办为期四天的峰会，这些领导人对改善归属感，可访问性，正义，公平，多样性和包容性（BeAJEDI）表现出兴趣。峰会将为这些领导人提供机会，分享改善BeAJEDI地球科学的成功策略。峰会领导人将设计一个会议，约100-300地球科学家网络，介绍他们的研究，并分享成功的战略，以改善BeAJEDI在地球科学。因此，峰会将开始增加机构间和人际共享的过程，设计，并用于加强BeAJEDI在地球科学的战略完善。该项目的主要目标是举办为期四天的峰会，来自最大和/或有影响力的地球科学组织的15位领导人，他们对提高地球科学的归属感，可及性，公正，公平，多样性和包容性（BeAJEDI）表现出兴趣。峰会参与者将合作设计一个会议研讨会，同时分享成功的战略，以改善BeAJEDI的颜色地球科学家。这个设计的研讨会将主要由地球科学家参加，并将允许与会者介绍研究和网络。研讨会还将包括调查和采访与会者，以收集与成功招募和留住地球科学领域的有色人种密切相关的信息。调查和访谈试图回答的问题是：1。是什么吸引了有色人种来地球科学？2.彩色地球科学家的经验是什么？3.什么是完全归属感，可访问性，正义，公平，多样性和包容性看起来像有色人种的地球科学家？除了开发一种新的方法来回答上述问题外，该项目的更广泛的影响还通过包括一个导师组成部分来加强。该峰会将使对BeAJEDI问题感兴趣的早期职业研究人员与经验丰富的个人配对。早期的职业研究人员将获得会议提案写作经验，同时扩大他们的网络。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是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的支持。
