EAGER: DEIBA STARS (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility Skill-building and Transfer in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences)

该项目符合GOLD-EN EAGER框架的目标，提供了一种机制来识别，招募，促进和支持不断增长的多元化领导者群体。 它将通过发展他们的技能来增强这些领导者的能力，以支持多样性，并将他们纳入美国气象学会（AMS）广泛的志愿者结构。这种志愿者结构覆盖了学术界、政府和私营部门。 该项目将涉及多样性，公平和包容性培训的专家，以扩大和磨练DEIBA STARS（多样性，公平，包容，归属和可访问性大气及相关科学的技能建设和转让）课程，这是专业发展所需的，以培养成功的多样性领导者。它还将提供一种机制，将该课程应用于社区的早期职业成员，并在这些人进入领导角色时扩大他们在整个社区的影响。拟议的DEIBA STARS项目将与DEIBA专家合作，完善用于扩大早期职业领导学院（ECLA）编程的课程。它将通过提供途径，通过志愿服务锻炼他们的新的领导技能，同时也建立他们的专业网络，符合他们的专业知识和职业目标的方案为早期职业专业人士服务。 它还吸引了在DEIBA培训过的个人，他们有技能在AMS志愿者结构中促进积极的文化变革，以及他们可以在家乡组织中行使的其他形式的参与。重要的是，这种方法还将有助于通过加强他们的同伴网络来留住历史上代表性不足的群体的成员，这可以作为一个强大的支持系统，并为这些人提供新的职业满意度和职业发展的机会。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project meets the goals of the GOLD-EN EAGER framework by providing a mechanism to identify, recruit, promote, and support a growing cohort of diversity leaders. It will empower those leaders by developing their skill to champion diversity and by inserting them into the extensive volunteer structure of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). That volunteer structure reaches across the academic, government, and private sectors. The project will involve experts in diversity, equity, and inclusion training to expand and hone the DEIBA STARS (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility Skill-building and Transfer in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences) curriculum needed for professional development to produce successful diversity leaders. It will also offer a mechanism to apply that curriculum to early career members of the community and expand their impact across the breadth of the community as those individuals move into leadership roles. The proposed DEIBA STARS project will work with DEIBA experts to hone curricula for use in expanded Early Career Leadership Academy (ECLA) programing. It will serve early career professionals by providing pathways to exercise their new leadership skills through volunteer service, while also building their professional networks in programs that align with their expertise and career goals. It also engages individuals trained in DEIBA who have the skills to promote positive cultural change in the AMS volunteer structure in addition to other forms of engagement they can exercise at their home organizations. Critically, this approach will also help retain members of historically underrepresented groups by enhancing their peer networks, which can serve as a strong support system, and by providing these individuals with new opportunities for professional satisfaction and career advancement.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.
