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. University of Massachusetts Lowell, a minority serving institution, will create an FDSS tenure-track position in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in collaboration with the departments of Physics and Environment, Earth and Atmospheric Science. The FDSS research focus is space weather, especially ionospheric effects on communication and navigation technologies. The FDSS hire will develop space weather courses and create interdisciplinary bridges between the PhD programs in aerospace science and aerospace engineering. They will broadening participation in STEM by engaging with programs for first-generation college students and underrepresented engineering freshmen.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。马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔大学（University of Massachusetts Lowell）是一家少数派服务机构，将与物理和环境，地球和大气科学部门合作在电气和计算机工程系中建立FDSS的终身任期。 FDSS研究重点是太空天气，尤其是电离层对通信和导航技术的影响。 FDSS雇用将开发太空天气课程，并在航空航天科学和航空航天工程中的博士学位计划之间创建跨学科的桥梁。他们将通过参与第一代大学生和代表性不足的工程新生的计划来扩大参与STEM的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评估标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
