  1. EDventures Venture capital to support C-MORE’s education goals Elisha M. Wood-Charlson, PhD EDventures Program Manager elishawc@hawaii.edu

  2. C-MORE Education Goals • Increase scientific literacy in microbial oceanography • Produce leaders in the next generation of microbial oceanographers by providing state-of-the-art training • Increase the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing careers in the ocean and earth sciences, and related disciplines

  3. C-MORE Education Goals • Increase scientific literacy in microbial oceanography • Produce leaders in the next generation of microbial oceanographers by providing state-of-the-art training • Increase the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing careers in the ocean and earth sciences, and related disciplines

  4. What is EDventures? • Support engagement in education goals, by everyone • Faculty: educational and outreach projects Started late 2012, used in California & Oregon schools, SACNAS conference, several science outreach days, etc… Currently, 500+ students!

  5. Students/postdocs: Training Laboratory of Bioinorganic Analytical and Environmental Chemistry • Grant writing and reviewing • Modeled after NSF requirements • Request for proposals, 3 per year • Intellectual Merit • Broader impacts • Itemized Budget • Biosketch • Panel style review by students/postdocs • Specialized training: courses, travel to other labs • Professional development DOE Joint Genome Institute

  6. Students/postdocs: Research • Research • Novel • Higher risk • Collaborative ideas • Preliminary data for future proposals

  7. Students/postdocs: Outreach and Knowledge Transfer • Networking and communication • Website/course development • Educational tools Amy Apprill, PhD ShimiRii

  8. Review Panel • Formed January 2010 (4 panels to date) • 6 grad students, 9 postdocs, 6 faculty • 2006 to current • Training (19 proposals) • Research (16 proposals) • Outreach (15 proposals)

  10. Highlights 2013-2014 • ~10% of the 66 self-reported success stories for 2013-2014 were EDventures funded!

  11. Highlights: Training • Chris Schvarcz, grad student at UH • Joint Genome Institute (JGI) workshop in microbial genomics and metagenomics Image by C. Schvarcz

  12. Highlights: Research • Steven Biller, postdoc at MIT

  13. Highlights: Training • Career options and networking • MIT/WHOI (29 attendees) • UCSC/MBARI(20) • UH(26) • ASLO 2013 (24) • Published in Oceanography • April 2014, online

  14. Highlights: Outreach/Knowledge Transfer • Outreach/Knowledge Transfer – OSM2014 • 19 C-MORE members • 14 invited participants • Undergraduate to faculty • 10 ethnicities, 6 languages • 66% Women, 33% Men "(I learned that) I am not alone!  Others have similar experiences. Almost everything I want to do is possible -- others have done it before me.” "Sharing our personal stories fosters authenticity.It's important to recognize how otherscommunicate."
