Extreme weather events, changing patterns of precipitation, stronger and more frequent tornados and hurricanes/typhoons, global warming due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and many other phenomena provide fertile ground for entrepreneurial activities and the generation of startups in the arena of atmospheric and meteorological science. However, there are very few atmospheric scientists becoming entrepreneurs and creating novel new products and services that both benefit society and help drive the economy forward. To identify the reason for this paucity of participation in innovation ecosystems, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) will hold a series of virtual events to survey its broad membership. The conversations will illuminate the factors that prevent them from initiating commercial ventures and becoming entrepreneurs. Broader Impacts of the work include uncovering the incentives, training, opportunities, and educational vehicles most likely to create a cadre of atmospheric science and meteorological entrepreneurs and startup founders, including robust representation from early career scientists and member of underrepresented groups. The AMS will made public the report of their findings by posting it on the AMS website.To solicit ideas on developing entrepreneurial talent and speed the pace of innovation in the atmospheric sciences, the 12,000+ member strong American Meteorological Society, the largest professional society of weather and climate scientists in the US, will run a series of broad, inclusive, and results-driven virtual activities. These are focused on engaging all segments of the atmospheric and space science and meteorological communities, with a specific focus on those who are early career and from groups traditionally underrepresented in science. Information will be obtained via online surveys, virtual convenings of members, crowdsourcing events, one-on-one conversations, and panels of experts. The goal is to collect and synthesize ideas from AMS constituents on what incentives, training, or gap filling needs to take place to increase and accelerate more involvement of atmospheric scientists in the entrepreneurial process, as well as increase the number of atmospheric and meteorologically relevant enterprises led by founders and CEOs coming from these fields.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.

极端天气事件、不断变化的降水模式、更强更频繁的龙卷风和飓风/台风、大气中温室气体增加导致的全球变暖，以及许多其他现象为大气和气象科学领域的创业活动和初创企业的产生提供了肥沃的土壤。然而，很少有大气科学家成为企业家，创造出既造福社会又有助于推动经济发展的新颖产品和服务。为了找出参与创新生态系统的人数如此之少的原因，美国气象学会(AMS)将举办一系列虚拟活动来调查其广泛的成员。这些对话将阐明阻碍他们创办商业企业和成为企业家的因素。这项工作的更广泛影响包括揭示最有可能培养一批大气科学和气象企业家和初创公司创始人的激励、培训、机会和教育工具，包括来自早期职业科学家和代表性不足群体的强大代表。AMS将在AMS网站上公布他们的发现报告。为了征求关于培养创业人才的想法，加快大气科学的创新步伐，美国气象学会将开展一系列广泛、包容和以结果为导向的虚拟活动。美国气象学会是美国最大的气象和气候科学家专业协会，拥有12000多名会员。这些活动的重点是让大气层和空间科学界和气象界的所有部门参与进来，特别侧重于那些职业生涯早期的人和在科学界传统上代表性不足的群体。信息将通过在线调查、成员虚拟召集、众包活动、一对一对话和专家小组获得。其目标是收集和综合AMS成员关于需要进行哪些激励、培训或填补空白的想法，以增加和加速大气科学家更多地参与创业过程，并增加由来自这些领域的创始人和首席执行官领导的大气和气象相关企业的数量。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
