Optimizing the Research Intern Experience to Build Inclusion and Diversity in the geosciences workforce: June 27-29, 2019: Woods Hole, MA

第1部分：研讨会将支持在地球科学中建立多样性和包容性的努力？劳动力，通过促进URM STEM研究实习计划的复制和成功。研讨会还将继续支持加强HBCU与地球科学研究界之间的合作，特别是包括伍兹霍尔的六个公共和私人科学机构。此外，研讨会将为参与和展示的URM地球科学研究实习计划的毕业生提供重要的职业发展机会，展示他们的成功并加强他们与同事的关系。该研讨会将产生一个明确的总结最佳实践和下一步的努力，以连接本科研究计划与HBCU提供一个支持性的实习经验，在一个研究社区，这是新的学生，往往是新的教师和顾问，以及。更清楚地了解本科生实习如何为有才华的学生提供服务，以及这些项目如何与HBCU等机构更紧密地协调和真正合作。拟议的研讨会的目标是加强本科课程，寻求增加地球科学的多样性？的劳动力。研讨会的具体目标是：（1）回顾过去十年URM本科生研究经验（雷乌斯）计划和伍兹霍尔合作教育计划（PEP）的经验、成果、成功和不足;（2）从这些计划中确定最佳做法，以支持其持续的成功和复制;（3）在一份报告中总结这些最佳做法，为寻求建立类似方案的学术和其他研究机构提供指导;以及（4）让项目校友相互参与和联系，该奖项反映了NSF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。

Part 1The workshop will support efforts to build diversity and inclusion in the geosciences? workforce, by facilitating the replication and success of URM STEM research internship programs. The workshop will also continue and support the effort to strengthen collaborations between HBCUs and the geosciences research community, notably including the six public and private science institutions in Woods Hole.Further, the workshop will provide an important career-building opportunity for graduates of URM geosciences research internship programs who participate and present, showcasing their successes and strengthening their relationships with colleagues. The workshop will produce a clear summary of best practices and next steps in the effort to connect undergraduate research programs with HBCUs to provide a supportive internship experience in a research community that is new to the students and often new to the faculty and advisors as well.Part 2The proposed workshop promises to articulate a new, clearer understanding of how undergraduate internships can serve individual students of talent and how these programs can be more closely coordinated with and be truly collaborative with institutions like HBCUs. The goal of the proposed workshop is to strengthen undergraduate programs that seek to increase diversity in the geoscience?s workforce. Specific workshop objectives are (1) to review experiences, outcomes, successes, and shortcomings over the past ten years of URM Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) programs, and the Woods Hole Partnership Education Program (PEP); (2) to identify best practices from these programs, in order to support their sustained success and replication; (3) to summarize these best practices in a report that will provide guidance to academic and other research institutions that seek to establish similar programs; and (4) to engage and connect program alumni with each other, and with peers and professionals in the research community.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.
