The University of Hawai‘i’s (UH) School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) is the State of Hawai‘i’s largest producer of geoscience graduates. This planning grant will fund the initial conceptualization of the SOEST Wahine Awards, a new competitive small grants program, to support professional development activities of women (wahine) faculty, staff, post-doc and students in the at SOEST. The justification for focusing on women is to level the academic playing field, as systematic gender disparities tend to impact women’s ability to achieve and advance at the same rate as men. This project builds out from an existing NSF GEOPAths award in two important ways: (1) financially supporting the activities included in IDPs and (2) broadening the eligibility for professional development funding beyond students to include women post-docs, faculty and staff.University of Hawai‘i’s (UH) School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) Wahine Awards will be a small, competitive grants program, which will support professional development activities for women in SOEST, particularly for the women mentees and mentors. The overarching goal of SOEST Wahine Awards is to support women’s career development by engaging in the following four objectives: (1) Fund activities that enhance women’s technical or professional skills; (2) Enhance women’s ability to secure future funding; (3) Expand and strengthen the Women-in-SOEST grassroots organization and the SOEST mentoring network; and (4) Broaden participation of women in geoscience, including Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders and other underrepresented women of color.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.

夏威夷大学海洋与地球科学与技术学院(SOEST)是夏威夷最大的地球科学毕业生培养基地。这笔规划赠款将资助SOEST瓦希恩奖的初步构思，这是一项新的竞争性小额赠款计划，以支持妇女(瓦希纳)教职员工、博士后和学生在SOEST的专业发展活动。将重点放在女性身上的理由是为了让学术竞争环境变得公平，因为系统性的性别差异往往会影响女性实现和进步的能力，其速度与男性相同。该项目以现有的NSF GeOPAths奖为基础，以两种重要方式建立起来：(1)为国内流离失所者包括的活动提供财政支持；(2)将获得职业发展资助的资格扩大到学生以外，包括女性博士后、教职员工和工作人员。夏威夷大学(UH)海洋和地球科学技术学院(SOEST)瓦希纳奖将是一个规模较小、具有竞争力的赠款计划，将支持SOEST女性的专业发展活动，特别是针对女性受训者和导师。SOEST Wahine奖的总体目标是通过参与以下四个目标来支持妇女的职业发展：(1)提高妇女技术或专业技能的基金活动；(2)提高妇女获得未来资金的能力；(3)扩大和加强SOEST妇女基层组织和SOEST指导网络；(4)扩大妇女对地球科学的参与，包括夏威夷原住民、太平洋岛民和其他代表性不足的有色人种妇女。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。
