This grant funds organizational and logistical support for DISCO XXIX and PODS XIII in October 2024 and DISCO XXX and PODS XIV in October 2026. These symposia will produce a cohort group of early career professionals in the field of geochemistry and physical oceanography, initiating collegial relationships that will benefit the research performed by the participants at their employing institutions, and will enable them to expand the narrow focus of their research, share their experiences, and facilitate collaborative ventures. In addition, the cross-disciplinary contacts arising from the combination of the DISCO and PODS meetings will foster future inter-disciplinary understanding and collaborations, benefiting their employing institutions. Thus, the participants will be uniquely situated to take advantage of networking between individuals and groups, which is of great importance to foster advances in our scientific knowledge and preparedness to meet upcoming environmental challenges. PODS and DISCO attendees are potential future leaders in their field, and as such, even at this early stage in their careers, have knowledge that can benefit undergraduate students. To extend this beyond the University of Hawai‘i undergraduate students recruited to help with logistics during the meeting, participants at the 2024 and 2026 meetings will invited to be interviewed by the attending undergraduate students. These interviews will be turned into a 3 to 4-minute video that will be broadly distributed to institutions, including those that do not have graduate programs in oceanography, as well as organizations such as SACNAS and Black in Marine Science, that support under-represented groups. As the videos will have a short description of where the interviews took place, these videos will also provide a mechanism for increasing the awareness of PODS and DISCO beyond the traditional oceanography institutes.These symposia are for individuals within one year of attaining their PhD and who are seeking a career in academia or research laboratories – thus creating a cohort of early-career researchers. An applicant pool will be developed for the meetings from a broad announcement to chemical and physical oceanographers at academic and research institutions in the US and other countries. From this pool, program managers at the federal agencies supporting these events will select invitees. Each meeting will consist of a series of sessions grouped by research subject area, participant -led discussion periods, as well as presentations to the combined group by, and discussions with, guest speakers (1 from PODS and 1 from DISCO) and agency personnel explaining funding mechanisms and strategies. The newly hired University of Hawai‘i School of Ocean Earth Science and Technology DEI Director will give a presentation on issues faced by early career researchers. Participants will form breakout groups to discuss and report on current issues associated with developing careers in research. Formal and informal joint DISCO and PODS activities broaden the disciplinary expertise of the participants, promote future collaborations, and to make connections between their research and the education of future generations of scientists. The NSF funds will cover meeting venue rentals and catering, abstract-agenda preparation and dissemination, outreach video compilation, as well as participant support-related costs of air travel, hotel accommodation, and per diem for meals that are not provided as part of the symposia.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.

该赠款为2024年10月的DISCO XXIX和PODS XIII以及2026年10月的DISCO XXX和PODS XIV提供组织和后勤支持。这些研讨会将培养一批地球化学和物理海洋学领域的早期职业专业人员，建立学院关系，这将有利于参与者在其雇用机构进行的研究，并使他们能够扩大其研究的狭隘焦点，分享他们的经验，并促进合作企业。此外，DISCO和PODS会议结合所产生的跨学科联系将促进未来跨学科的理解和合作，使其雇用机构受益。因此，参与者将处于独特的位置，可以利用个人和团体之间的网络，这对于促进我们科学知识的进步和准备迎接即将到来的环境挑战非常重要。PODS和DISCO的参加者都是各自领域潜在的未来领导者，因此，即使在他们职业生涯的早期阶段，他们的知识也可以使本科生受益。为了扩大这一范围，除了招募夏威夷大学的本科生来帮助会议期间的后勤工作外，2024年和2026年会议的参与者将被邀请接受与会本科生的面试。这些访谈将被制作成3到4分钟的视频，广泛分发给机构，包括那些没有海洋学研究生课程的机构，以及SACNAS和Black in Marine Science等支持代表性不足群体的组织。由于录象带将简短地说明采访的地点，这些录象带还将提供一种机制，以便在传统海洋学研究所之外提高对海洋监测和监测中心的认识。这些研讨会是为那些在一年内获得博士学位并正在学术界或研究实验室寻求职业生涯的个人提供的，从而创建了一个早期职业研究人员的队列。将为会议建立一个申请人池，从广泛的公告到美国和其他国家学术和研究机构的化学和物理海洋学家。支持这些活动的联邦机构的项目经理将从这些人中挑选被邀请者。每次会议将包括按研究主题领域分组的一系列会议，与会者主导的讨论期，以及由发言嘉宾（1名来自发展规划司和1名来自迪斯科司）和机构人员向合并小组作介绍和与之讨论，解释供资机制和战略。新聘请的夏威夷大学海洋地球科学与技术学院DEI主任将就早期职业研究人员面临的问题进行演讲。参与者将组成分组讨论和报告与发展研究事业相关的当前问题。DISCO和PODS的正式和非正式联合活动扩大了参与者的学科专门知识，促进了未来的合作，并在他们的研究与未来几代科学家的教育之间建立了联系。NSF的资金将用于支付会议场地的租金和餐饮、摘要议程的准备和传播、外联视频的编辑，以及与参与者支持相关的航空旅行、酒店住宿和每日膳食费用，这些费用不属于专题讨论会的一部分。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
