The Strengthening Traineeships and Research Opportunities for Next Generation Geoscientists (STRONG) project will provide training for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and allied early career faculty on how to strengthen traineeship and research opportunities for next generation geoscientists from Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). Ten BIPOC and allied Geoscience Faculty of the Future (GEOFFs) will participate in training in preparation to mentor and train MSI STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) students to thrive in geoscience graduate programs at research-intensive universities. MSI STEM students thriving and not just being retained in graduate programs will lead to more of these students having healthy mindsets about pursuing research careers in support of the national interest of a diverse geoscience workforce. The project seeks to address the issues of equitable pathways to graduate geoscience programs for MSI STEM students, the mindset of faculty regarding the quality of MSI STEM students for research assistantships, and the well-being and preparedness of BIPOC and allied early career faculty to persist in the academy to mentor and train MSI STEM students.The goal of the project is to close the knowledge gap of how to have MSI STEM students and BIPOC and allied early career geoscience faculty and researchers thrive in geoscience departments at research intensive universities. The method will involve training of early career faculty in how to be inclusive and intentional in their identification of MSI STEM students for graduate research work, how to be intentional in their training of the students to be collaborators on their research, and how to present inclusive curriculum in associated classroom activities. Geoscience faculty of the future (GEOFF) will be trained by experienced geoscience faculty who serve as trainers with the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. A summer research training experience (RTX) prepared by and implemented by the early career faculty for the ten MSI STEM students will serve as a field experience for the early career faculty to practice their research collaboration training and mentoring. Each GEOFF participant will contribute their expertise to the development and delivery of training modules. GEOFF will support each other up to, during, and after the practicum via participation in a research coordination network and participation on a committee for lessons on equitable admissions and retention in graduate programs. Training BIPOC and allied early career faculty to be inclusive geoscience leaders has the potential to imbed inclusive geoscience leadership into departments across the country and to make inclusion business-as-usual over the 20 to 30 years of the careers of the inclusive leaders. We expect that other faculty in the departments of the GEOFFs observing the success of MSI STEM students in contributing to research will develop more favorable mindsets of the ability of MSI STEM majors to contribute to their lab and complete a rigorous graduate program.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.

下一代地球科学家（强）项目的加强学者和研究机会将为BIPOC（黑人，土著和有色人种）以及同盟国早期职业教师提供培训，以了解如何加强来自少数民族服务机构（MSIS）（MSIS）的下一代地球科学家的培训和研究机会。十个BIPOC和盟友地球科学的未来（Geoffs）将参加培训，准备指导和培训MSI STEM（科学，技术，工程，数学）学生，以在研究密集型大学的地球科学研究生课程中壮成长。 MSI STEM的学生蓬勃发展，而不仅仅是在研究生课程中保留，这将导致更多这些学生对追求研究职业的健康心态，以支持多样化的地球科学劳动力的国家利益。该项目旨在解决为MSI STEM学生毕业的地球科学计划的问题，教师关于MSI STEM学生的研究助学金质量的心态，以及BIPOC和BIPOC和BIPOC和盟友早期职业教师的福祉和准备，以使MSI的学生和培训MSI的启动态度和培训MSIS的态度和培训MSIP st st st stems。研究密集大学地球科学系的教师和研究人员蓬勃发展。该方法将涉及对早期职业教师的培训。未来的地球科学学院（Geoff）将受到经验丰富的地球科学教师的培训，他们是全国地球科学教师协会的培训师。由早期职业教师为十个MSI STEM学生编写和实施的夏季研究培训经验（RTX）将成为早期职业教师的现场经验，以实践他们的研究合作培训和指导。每个Geoff参与者都将为培训模块的开发和交付贡献他们的专业知识。杰夫（Geoff）将通过参与研究协调网络，在实习期间和之后互相支持，并参与委员会参加研究生课程的公平入学和保留课程。培训BIPOC和同盟的早期职业教师成为包容性地球科学领导者，有可能将包容性的地球科学领导层融入全国各地，并在包容性领导者的20至30年中将业务融合在一起。我们希望，观察MSI STEM学生在为研究做出贡献方面的成功的杰夫夫妇部门的其他教师将对MSI STEM专业为实验室做出贡献并完成严格的研究生课程的能力而发展更有利的心态。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的智力效果和广泛的范围来评估了NSF的法定任务。
