Dartmouth faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students will provide support for U.S. participation in the Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) and associated educational outreach efforts. JSEP is an internationally funded program that brings American, Danish and Greenlandic students and teachers to Greenland for a three-week field school experience. The program includes research related experiences in the Kangerlussuaq area and at the U.S. supported Summit Station on the Greenland ice sheet.Components of the US participation included in this award are: sending a small team of graduate student and postdoctoral researchers with polar field experience, along with a Dartmouth faculty member, to Greenland to support field science education in the JSEP programs; continued training of an international group of students, teachers, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in cross-cultural science communication to advance the understanding of polar science in Greenland; sharing this training more broadly with the polar community; hosting planning meetings and workshops to design the curriculum for Science and Education Week and to help coordinate efforts by all parties engaged in JSEP; working with partners in Greenland and Denmark to increase the visibility of JSEP; and sharing and assessing the results of JSEP through public presentations, education-focused symposia at national meetings and publications in scholarly journals.Benefits to U.S. students, teachers, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty will include: improved science communication skills; greater facility in framing and communicating scholarship to meet the needs of Arctic communities; increased capacity for recognizing, assimilating, and communicating traditional knowledge; and skills for implementing programs that will broaden impacts of their future scholarship. The postdoc and graduate students will receive training in managing interdisciplinary research and outreach teams, thereby preparing them as future leaders in Arctic science and policy. Program goals include developing and disseminating curricula strategies that will increase general awareness of polar issues, attract the next generation of polar scientists and strengthen the international network of polar researchers.

达特茅斯教职员工，博士后研究员和研究生将为美国参与联合科学教育项目（JSEP）和相关的教育外展工作提供支持。 JSEP是一项由国际资助的计划，将美国，丹麦和格陵兰式的学生和老师带到格陵兰岛，以进行为期三周的野外学校体验。该计划包括在康格鲁苏（Kangerlussuaq）地区的研究经验以及在格陵兰冰盖上的美国支持的峰会站。继续培训跨文化科学传播的国际学生，教师，研究生和博士后研究人员，以促进格陵兰的极地科学的理解；与极地社区更广泛地分享这项培训；举办计划会议和研讨会，以设计科学和教育周的课程，并帮助协调所有参与JSEP的各方的努力；与格陵兰和丹麦的合作伙伴合作，提高了JSEP的知名度；以及通过公开演讲，在学术期刊上的全国会议和出版物上分享和评估JSEP的结果。对美国学生，教师，研究生，博士后研究员和教师的培养将包括：提高科学沟通技巧；在框架和沟通奖学金方面有更大的设施，以满足北极社区的需求；提高了识别，同化和交流传统知识的能力；和实施计划的技能，以扩大其未来奖学金的影响。博士后和研究生将接受管理跨学科研究和外展团队的培训，从而使他们成为北极科学和政策的未来领导者。计划的目标包括制定和传播课程策略，以提高对极地问题的一般意识，吸引下一代极地科学家并加强国际极地研究人员网络。
