The Faculty Development in geoSpace Science (FDSS) opportunity aims to integrate geospace science--to includes solar and space physics and space weather research--into natural sciences, engineering or related departments at U.S. institutions of higher education and stimulate the development of undergraduate or graduate programs or curricula capable of training the next generation of leaders in geospace science. Georgia Tech will create an FDSS tenure-track position jointly in the College of Sciences and College of Engineering, focused on solar-terrestrial and space weather research. Five departments in the university will collaborate on the faculty search process, instead of the traditional hiring model where one university department leads a faculty hiring. The new faculty will be integrated into a major new interdisciplinary space research venture supported by the university, which would accelerate their networking and collaborative opportunities. They will engage a large number of undergraduate students in research, leveraging the institution’s Vertically Integrated Projects that has been demonstrated to have positive impacts on retention and career trajectory of underrepresented groups.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.

地理科学（FDSS）的教师发展机会旨在整合地理科学 - 包括太阳能和太空物理和太空天气研究 - into自然科学，工程或美国高等教育机构的相关部门，并刺激能够培训下一代Geospase Science领导者的本科或研究生课程或课程的发展。佐治亚理工学院将在科学学院和工程学院共同创建FDSS的终身制位置，重点是太阳能和太空天气研究。该大学的五个部门将在教师搜索过程中进行合作，而不是一个大学系领导教师招聘的传统招聘模式。新教师将纳入大学支持的主要新的跨学科研究企业，这将加速他们的网络和协作机会。他们将吸引大量的本科生进行研究，并利用该机构的垂直整合项目，这些项目被证明对保留率和职业生涯不足的组有积极影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估该基金会的智力功能和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
