Diversifying the Next Generation Geoscience Mentor Community Through Training Aboard the JOIDES/Resolution

该研讨会旨在通过培训增加地球科学导师池的多样性，同时也有助于定位不同背景的年轻科学家，担任海洋科学家或参与综合海洋钻探计划（IODP）研究的联合首席科学家。它还旨在通过将高中教师与这些早期职业科学家配对来加强管道和建立有效的地方网络。因此，研讨会通过增加(1)能够更广泛地为IODP科学和地球科学做出贡献的科学家的多样性，以及(2)研究表明更有可能对有色人种本科生的教育和/或职业道路产生积极影响的导师的多样性，提供了协同作用（Kendricks等人，2013；Summers和Hrabowski， 2006）。直接的科学效益将来自广泛从事IODP科学的年轻科学家群体日益多样化，通过诸如STEM学生上船体验（STEMSEAS; Chang et al., 2014）等项目，可以对STEM领域本科生的发展轨迹产生可衡量的影响。这是NSF、UNOLS和其他联邦资助项目的高度优先事项。本次研讨会的重点是培养一批不同的年轻科学家进入地球科学和综合海洋钻探计划（IODP）的管道，同时，通过有效的指导和参与社会相关的关键问题，让这些人对来自全国不同社区的本科生的发展轨迹产生可衡量的影响。提议的研讨会的总体目标是：1 -鼓励来自STEM领域，特别是地球科学领域代表性仍然不足的社区的早期职业科学家和中学教育工作者参与。展示和教育Joides Resolution (JR)/IODP功能。3 -增加人才储备的多样性，这些人才将适用于未来在IODP和相关探险中航行。4 -为STEM/地球科学本科学生建立多元化的导师池。5 -建立当地合作伙伴关系，以加强STEM/地球科学管道。

This workshop aims to increase the diversity of the geoscience mentor pool through training that also serves to position young scientists of diverse backgrounds to serve as sea-going scientists or co-Chief Scientists participating in Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) research. It also aims to bolster the pipeline and build effective local networks through the pairing of high school teachers with these early career scientists. The workshop thus offers synergy by increasing the diversity of (1) scientists who are positioned to contribute both to IODP science and geoscience more broadly, and (2) mentors who research shows stand a better chance of positively influencing the educational and/or career pathways of undergraduate students of color (Kendricks, et al., 2013; Summers and Hrabowski, 2006). Direct scientific benefit will come from increasing diversity among the pool of young scientists that are broadly engaged in IODP science, allowing measurable impact on the trajectory of undergraduates in STEM fields through programs such as STEM Student Experiences Aboard Ships (STEMSEAS; Chang et al., 2014). This is a high priority for the NSF, UNOLS and other federally-funded programs.This workshop focuses on an opportunity to entrain a diverse cohort of young scientists into the geoscience- and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)- pipeline, and at the same time, to position these same individuals to have measurable impact on the trajectory of undergraduate students from diverse communities nationwide through effective mentoring and engagement in critical issues of societal relevance.The overarching goals of the proposed workshop are to:1 - Encourage early career scientists and secondary-level educators from communities that remain poorly represented in STEM fields, and particularly geosciences, to participate.2 - Showcase and educate about Joides Resolution (JR)/IODP capabilities.3 - Increase the diversity of the talent pool that will apply to sail on IODP and related expeditions in the future.4 - Build a diverse mentoring pool for undergraduate STEM/geoscience students.5 - Create local partnerships to bolster the STEM/geoscience pipeline.
