Active Societal Participation In Research and Education (ASPIRE) aims to cultivate a generation of geoscientists with the leadership knowledge and skills, scholarship, and material support to communicate the social relevance of geosciences, and thereby, to broaden participation in these fields. The proposed project will evaluate the effectiveness of place-based science as a vehicle for increasing diversity in the Geoscience. The ASPIRE collaborators will organize Mobile Working Groups (MWG) that will be led by an academic geoscientist who works with a local community on issues that require an expertise in the geosciences. These MWG leaders are referred to as "gate-openers". Each MWG will focus on a single issue linked to a single community, but ASPIRE will support multiple MWGs working across a variety of issues and geoscience topics. During the pilot period, ASPIRE will: 1) learn from the experiences and qualities of geoscientists who already possess experience leading community-relevant research, 2) support them "individually and collectively" as leaders of MWGs over a period of one year, 3) identify from their prior and current experiences the sort of leadership required to bridge underserved and geoscience communities, and 4) define and refine the leadership, networking, and logistical support needs that a fully implemented "bricks and mortar" center would require. Over the course of the pilot project, ASPIRE will conservatively involve up to forty individuals from across a variety of geoscience institutions, with an additional thirty or more participants, support staff and evaluators. The PIs hypothesize that in institutionalizing a new mode of geoscience research (MWG), learning from the leaders' experiences with MWG, and refining a leadership development program based on findings, they will have a scalable leadership tool and organizational structure that will rebrand the geosciences as socially relevant and inclusive of geoscientists from diverse backgrounds.

积极的社会参与研究和教育（ASPIRE）旨在培养一代地球科学家，具有领导知识和技能，奖学金和物质支持，以传达地球科学的社会意义，从而扩大参与这些领域的参与。拟议的项目将评估基于地方科学作为增加地球科学多样性的工具的有效性。 Aspire合作者将组织移动工作组（MWG），该工作组将由一个学术地球科学家领导，该学术主义者与当地社区合作，研究需要地球科学专业知识的问题。这些MWG领导者被称为“闸门开放者”。每个MWG都会专注于与一个社区相关的单个问题，但是Aspire将支持多个在各种问题和地球科学主题上工作的MWG。在飞行员期间，ASPIRE将：1）从已经具有领先社区与社区相关的研究经验的地球科学家的经验和素质中学习，2）在一年的MWG领导中“单独和共同”作为“单独和集体”，一年中的MWG领导者，从一年中确定，从他们的先前和当前经验中确定，需要弥合不受欢迎的和地球的领导才能，以及4）启动的领导才能，以及4）启发，4）与之相关的领导才能，4）网络，4）和砂浆中心需要。在试点项目的过程中，Aspire将保守地涉及到来自各个地球科学机构的40个人，并拥有另外三十名或更多的参与者，支持人员和评估人员。 PI假设，在使新的地球科学研究模式（MWG）制度化，从领导者使用MWG的经验中学习，并根据发现基于发现的领导力发展计划来完善领导力发展计划，它们将具有可扩展的领导力工具和组织结构，将地球科学家重塑为社会相关的地球科学家，并具有来自不同背景的地理学家的社会相关性和包容性。
