MS PHD'S Access, Inclusion, and Mentoring (AIM) in Geosciences Program

12年来，少数民族努力和追求更高程度的成功，在地球系统科学（MS博士）提供专业发展，网络机会和队列支持通过成员组成的虚拟社区的同行，初级和高级研究人员和教育工作者。MS PHD成为地球科学界的典范。目前的努力旨在召集主题专家，计划导师，工作人员，学员以及商业和行业合作伙伴作为规划团队，以协调计划的下一阶段- MS PHD的访问，包容和指导（AIM）在地球科学。 规划团队将最终确定MS PHD'S AIM在地球科学计划的结构和活动，以满足参与者的需求，因为他们进入一个更加动态，精通技术，后COVID的工作/学习环境。在支持下，规划团队将制定必要的蓝图，以启动MS PHD'S AIM，作为推进NSF促进科学进步的使命的强有力干预;促进国家健康，繁荣和福利。 MS PHD'S Access，Inclusion，and Mentoring（AIM）in Geosciences Program（MS PHD'S AIM）将支持NSF的使命，以促进科学进步;促进国家健康，繁荣和福利。考虑到继续需要促进支持和持续的专业发展，为下一代的地球科学学者从历史上被排除的群体，这一努力旨在计划的实施方案考虑到以下目标：审查过去的计划活动;根据目前的文献制定指导;确定和招聘关键组织和个人;协助发展工作，以实现倡议的可持续性;制定具体战略，以加强更广泛的影响;构思与其他STEM领域的可能联系;该项目由NSF的“地球科学多样性领导机会”（GOLDEN）联合资助，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。

For twelve years Minorities Striving and Pursuing Higher Degrees of Success in Earth System Science (MS PHD’S) provided professional development, networking opportunities and cohort support via membership within a virtual community comprised of peers, junior- and senior-level researchers and educators. MS PHD’S became a model program within the geoscience community. The current effort seeks to convene subject matter experts, program mentors, staff, mentees and business and industry partners as a planning team to orchestrate the next phase of the program - MS PHD’S Access, Inclusion, and Mentoring (AIM) in Geosciences. The planning team will finalize the MS PHD’S AIM in Geoscience Program’s structure and activities to meet the needs of participants as they move into an even more dynamic, tech-savvy, post-COVID work/learning environment. With support, the planning team will develop the blueprint necessary to launch MS PHD’S AIM as a robust intervention to advance NSF’s mission to promote the progress of science; to advance national health, prosperity and welfare. The MS PHD’S Access, Inclusion, and Mentoring (AIM) in Geosciences Program (MS PHD’S AIM) will support NSF’s mission to promote the progress of science; to advance national health, prosperity and welfare. Given the continued need to facilitate the support and continued professional development for the next generation of geoscience scholars from historically excluded groups, this effort seeks to plan the implementation of the program with the following goals in mind: review past program activities; develop guidance based on current literature; identify and recruit key organizations and individuals; assist in development efforts to achieve sustainability of the initiative; develop specific strategies to enhance broader impacts; ideate possible connections with other STEM fields; and create virtual tools for sustained participant engagement and information sharing.This project is jointly funded by NSF's Geoscience Opportunities for Leadership in Diversity (GOLDEN) and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.
