GP-UP: Workshop to build collaboration & participation across DE&I programs in Ocean Science

南佛罗里达大学将组织和支持为期两天的会议，为海洋科学的多样性，公平性和包容性（DEI）计划的代表，他们将绘制旨在鼓励代表性不足的学生追求海洋STEM职业的计划和机会的景观。一个主要目标是确定这个领域的现有计划，他们达到了什么样的观众，以及计划之间的差距或连接点在哪里。 讲习班的第二个目标是确定如何增加获得海上培训和经验以及岸上经验的机会，特别是在缺乏机会的本科一级。本次会议将支持发展新的长期合作，重点是支持海洋科学中代表性不足的学生的参与。该讲习班将设法减少海洋科学代表性不足的学生的进步障碍，并确定支持学生在海洋科学事业中进步的途径。讲习班的成果将在一份报告中散发，公众参与者将设法在一份主要的海洋科学杂志上发表关于讲习班成果的信息。由此产生的合作计划将有助于海洋科学的所有DE I计划。研讨会的报告将通过确定最佳实践、差距和机会以及潜在的合作者，帮助现有的和新的项目、机构和个人在海洋科学中推进DE I。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。

The University of South Florida will organize and support a two-day conference for representatives of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs in ocean sciences who will map the landscape of programs and opportunities designed to encourage underrepresented students to pursue ocean STEM careers. A primary goal is to identify existing programs in this space, what audience(s) they reach, and where the gaps or connection points are between programs. A secondary goal of the workshop is to identify ways to provide increased access to at-sea training and experiences, as well as shoreside experiences, especially at the undergraduate level where opportunities are lacking. This conference will support the development of new long-term collaborations focused on supporting the engagement of under-represented students in ocean sciences. The workshop will seek to mitigate barriers to advancement of under-represented students in ocean sciences and to identify pathways that support student advancement in ocean science careers. The results of the workshop will be disseminated in a report, and the PI will seek to publish an information item about the workshop results in a major ocean science journal. The collaborative plan that emerges from it will aid all DE&I programs in ocean science. The workshop report will help existing and new programs, institutions, and individuals interested in advancing DE&I in ocean sciences by identifying best practices, gaps and opportunities, and potential collaborators.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.
