Directorate for Geosciences • Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences • Support for individuals • PIs, students, families, communities • Support for Institutions • Capacity building and program development at MSIs • Support for collaborations • Develop or use existing networks (e.g., LSAMP)
Directorate for Geosciences • REU Sites • Individuals • Encourage PIs to recruit from LSAMP institutions and other MSIs • Institutions • Encourage proposals for Sites from MSIs • Collaborations • Encourage establishing strong connections with MSIs (particularly LSAMPs) • In Progress: • Work to raise awareness of diversity challenges and strategies for success.
Effective Strategies • Show relevance – applications related to modern, technologically savvy, increasingly urban and industrialized world. • Build partnerships between universities, community colleges, K-12 teachers and guidance counselors, families, and communities to address pipeline issues. • Promote mentoring relationships among scientists, educators, and students.
Effective Strategies • Provide financial support to facilitate participation in the geosciences among all members of the diverse U.S. population. • Publicize traditional and non-traditional geoscience career opportunities.
