This activity will develop a curriculum, learning materials, and participant model that will introduce 100’s of geoscientists each year to the theory and practice of justice-centered community science. Justice-centered community science is when scientists collaborate with community leaders, especially from communities that have been historically marginalized, neglected, exploited, and underserved by science, and design and carry out projects that use science to advance local priorities. The curriculum will incorporate guidance from minority serving institutions and leaders who have strong records of doing justice-centered community science to expand existing content from AGU’s Thriving Earth Exchange that introduce geoscientists to the principles and practices of justice-centered community science and help them identify and improve fundamental skills. The curriculum and learning materials will contribute to an emerging body of knowledge about community science. Community science, including justice-centered community science, expands science – it contributes new research questions, new methodological approaches, and new data sources. The most transformative community science projects explore the very epistemology of science, which enlarge the conception of what counts as science, and build respectful bridges between science and other ways of knowing or traditions of knowledge. The Community science is designed to be societally relevant and contribute science to concrete solutions; successful projects translate science into action by informing community plans, guiding infrastructure and development, influencing policy, or helping individuals act or make decisions. Community science also contributes to science literacy and public engagement with science. In justice-centered community science, scientists learn new strategies and practices for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice from their community partners. The focus of this work is developing the concept of justice-centered community science, advancing the theory and practice of community science, and contributing new research questions and approaches to the geosciences.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.

这项活动将开发一个课程、学习材料和参与者模式，每年将向100名地学家S介绍以正义为中心的社区科学的理论和实践。以正义为中心的社区科学是指科学家与社区领导人合作，特别是来自历史上被科学边缘化、忽视、剥削和服务不足的社区的领导人，并设计和实施利用科学来推进地方优先事项的项目。课程将纳入少数族裔服务机构和领导人的指导，这些机构和领导人在从事以正义为中心的社区科学方面有着良好的记录，以扩展AGU蓬勃发展的地球交易所的现有内容，向地球科学家介绍以正义为中心的社区科学的原则和实践，并帮助他们识别和提高基本技能。课程和学习材料将有助于形成关于社区科学的新兴知识体系。社区科学，包括以正义为中心的社区科学，扩展了科学--它贡献了新的研究问题、新的方法方法和新的数据来源。最具变革性的社区科学项目探索科学的认识论，它扩大了什么是科学的概念，并在科学和其他认识方式或知识传统之间建立了相互尊重的桥梁。社区科学旨在与社会相关，并将科学贡献给具体的解决方案；成功的项目通过为社区计划提供信息、指导基础设施和发展、影响政策或帮助个人行动或决策，将科学转化为行动。社区科学也有助于提高科学素养和公众参与科学。在以正义为中心的社区科学中，科学家从他们的社区合作伙伴那里学习多样性、公平、包容和正义的新战略和做法。这项工作的重点是发展以正义为中心的社区科学的概念，推进社区科学的理论和实践，并为地球科学贡献新的研究问题和方法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
