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.

这笔赠款为 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所在机构进行的研究，并使他们能够扩大其研究的狭窄焦点，分享 他们的经验，并促进合作企业。此外，DISCO 和 PODS 会议相结合所产生的跨学科接触将促进未来跨学科的理解和合作，使其用人机构受益。因此，参与者将处于独特的地位，可以利用个人和团体之间的网络，这对于促进我们的科学知识和应对即将到来的环境挑战的准备的进步非常重要。 PODS 和 DISCO 的参与者是其领域未来潜在的领导者，因此，即使在职业生涯的早期阶段，也拥有可以使本科生受益的知识。为了将这一范围扩大到夏威夷大学在会议期间为后勤工作提供帮助的本科生，2024 年和 2026 年会议的参与者将受邀接受与会本科生的面试。这些采访将被制作成 3 到 4 分钟的视频，广泛分发给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。由于视频将对采访地点进行简短描述，因此这些视频还将提供一种机制，以提高人们对 PODS 和 DISCO 的认识，超越传统海洋学机构。这些研讨会面向获得博士学位一年内、正在学术界或研究实验室寻求职业的个人，从而培养一批早期职业研究人员。将为会议建立一个申请人库，向美国和其他国家的学术和研究机构的化学和物理海洋学家广泛宣布。支持这些活动的联邦机构的项目经理将从这个池中选择受邀者。每次会议将包括一系列按研究主题领域分组的会议、参与者主导的讨论时段，以及由嘉宾演讲者（1 位来自 PODS 和 1 位来自 DISCO）和机构人员向联合小组进行的演示和讨论，解释资助机制和策略。新聘任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职业相关的当前问题。正式和非正式的 DISCO 和 PODS 联合活动拓宽了参与者的学科专业知识，促进未来的合作，并在他们的研究和未来几代科学家的教育之间建立联系。 NSF 资金将用于支付会议场地租赁和餐饮、摘要议程准备和传播、外展视频编译，以及与与会者支持相关的航空旅行、酒店住宿和每日膳食津贴等研讨会未提供的费用。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进行评估，认为值得支持。 标准。
