EAGER: Collaborative Research: Alliance-Building Offshore to Achieve Resilience and Diversity (All-ABOARD)

“建立海上联盟以实现弹性和多样性”（All- ABOARD）项目建立在海上经验的基础上，并利用这一研究团队的专业知识，建立一个独特的专业发展模式，为四个跨代的地球科学领导者团队提供他们需要的工具，以促进他们在本国校园实现多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）的目标。pi将以四人一组的方式招募参与者，他们的经历从本科生到院长不等，来自不同的机构，是新兴和成熟的校园DEI领导者。这些团队将参与变革的领导力发展体验，从国内的结构化培训网络研讨会开始，继续在最先进的科学研究船上和港口城市进行独特的研讨会，并继续在他们的家乡校园进行密集的努力。在All-ABOARD研讨会期间，这些团队将探索共同的挑战，提出令人不安的问题，参与令人不安的讨论，以更好地了解改进路线，并集思广益，制定一个真正可行的DEI项目，并在国内实施。这些项目的效果将在研讨会之前、期间和之后得到强有力的社区建设的支持。pi假设，在这种独特的背景下，在持续的支持下，对代际团队进行集中投资，将导致一个严酷的考验，在这个考验中，潜在的DEI领导者被招募和保留，他们的领导品质得到培养、授权和增强弹性，制度障碍被识别和解决，集体影响最大化。all - aboard项目的最终目标是在地球科学学术界的各个层面建立一个具有转型能力的DEI领导者的弹性社区。这里的创新是通过在不同权力和地位之间建立一个强大的联系网络来创造弹性。All-ABOARD将建立一个社区，包括那些目前担任权力职位的人，例如主席/院长，以及充满活力的早期职业教师，研究生和本科生，他们将在未来填补这些职位。All-ABOARD的具体目标包括：1)创建有弹性的同伴和近同伴指导网络；2)培养个人在DEI方面的变革性领导力；3)招募具有共同目标的代际团队，以解决特定机构的DEI需求；4)将志同道合的机构和个人联系起来，以最大限度地提高DEI项目的影响和促进合作。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The Alliance-Building Offshore to Achieve Resilience and Diversity (All- ABOARD) project builds on the power of off-shore experiences and leverages the expertise of this team of investigators into a unique professional development model that will provide four inter-generational teams of geoscience leaders with the tools they need to advance the goals of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) on their home campuses. PIs will recruit participants, in teams of four, who range in experience from undergraduate to Dean, hail from diverse institutions, and are emerging and established campus DEI leaders. These teams will engage in a transformative leadership development experience that begins at home with structured training webinars, continues with a unique workshop aboard a state-of- the-art scientific research vessel and a port city, and continues with intensive efforts back on their home campuses. During the All-ABOARD workshop, these teams will explore shared challenges, ask uncomfortable questions, engage in uncomfortable discussions in order to better understand routes to improvement, and brainstorm a real and achievable DEI project to implement back home. The efficacy of these projects will be supported by robust community building before, during, and after the workshop. The PIs hypothesize that investing focused effort on intergenerational teams in this unique context with sustained support will lead to a crucible in which potential DEI leaders are recruited and retained, their leadership qualities nurtured, empowered and made resilient, institutional barriers are identified and addressed, and collective impact is maximized.The ultimate goal of All-ABOARD project is to build a resilient community of transformational DEI leaders at all levels of geoscience academia. The innovation here is to create resiliency through a network of strong bonds across and between different levels of power and positionality. All-ABOARD will build a community that includes those who currently hold positions of power, e.g., chairs/deans, as well as energetic early career faculty, graduate students and undergraduates who will fill such positions in the future. All-ABOARD's specific goals include: 1) Creating resilient peer and near-peer mentoring networks, 2) Cultivating transformative leadership in DEI among individuals, 3) Recruiting intergenerational teams with a shared goal for addressing an institution-specific DEI need and 4) Connecting like-minded institutions and individuals to maximize impact and promote collaboration on DEI projects.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.
