Georgia Institute of Technology (i.e., Georgia Tech), in collaboration with Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College and Morehouse College, will host 10 undergraduate students per year over 3 years (Summers 2020, 2021 and 2022) to conduct research within topics that span Atmospheric Science, Oceanography and the Geosciences (AOG). Selected undergraduate participants will work with faculty mentors over a 10-week period that have well established research programs on topics that include meteorology, climate science, geophysics, oceanography and planetary science. Additionally, students will participate in a number of professional development opportunities in concert with pre-existing REU programming at Georgia Tech. This includes regular group meetings, a weekly AOG professional development series, team-building activities, undergraduate research symposia and field trips to AOG-related industrial and government sector organizations. At the end of the program, students will produce a conference-style research presentation and research poster as well as a research paper that may potentially lead to publication of their research. It is anticipated that these research products will prepare participants for graduate school opportunities within the atmospheric, oceanographic, geoscience and related disciplines.The primary aims of the multi-institutional NSF REU program in AOG are to: (i) provide high quality research experiences and professional development activities for cohorts of visiting undergraduate researchers, (ii) motivate and prepare talented undergraduates to pursue, and succeed in, graduate study, (iii) assemble a cadre of participants that reflects the diversity of the U.S. population, (iv) attract students from institutions that have limited research activities, (v) continue engagement of the participants beyond the summer program when they return to their home institutions and (vi) foster collaborations in research and instruction between the four institutions in the consortium. The program seeks to enhance interactions between the institutions in the consortium and thereby enhance the capacity for research at predominantly undergraduate minority-serving institutions. Furthermore, it is expected that the collaboration within the consortium will provide an opportunity to recruit and train a diverse group of participants, both from within the consortium and across the nation. The professional development activities described above, in partnership with other pre-existing REU programming at Georgia Tech, serve to acquaint participants with a broad array of projects, enhance their presentation skills, and provide a perspective of AOG research in a scholarly, entrepreneurial, economic, ethical and interdisciplinary framework.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.

佐治亚理工学院（即佐治亚理工学院）与克拉克亚特兰大大学，斯佩尔曼学院和莫尔豪斯学院合作，每年将在3年内每年有10名本科生（Summers 2020，2021和2022），以在跨越大气，大洋学和Geosciences（AOG）的主题中进行研究。 选定的本科参与者将在为期10周内与教师导师合作，这些时期已经建立了有关主题的研究计划，包括气象，气候科学，地球物理学，海洋学和行星科学。 此外，学生将与佐治亚理工学院的REU计划共同参加许多专业发展机会。 这包括定期的小组会议，每周一次的AOG专业发展系列，团队建设活动，本科研究专题讨论会以及与AOG相关的工业和政府部门组织的实地考察。 在计划结束时，学生将制作会议风格的研究演示和研究海报，以及一份可能导致其研究发表的研究论文。 It is anticipated that these research products will prepare participants for graduate school opportunities within the atmospheric, oceanographic, geoscience and related disciplines.The primary aims of the multi-institutional NSF REU program in AOG are to: (i) provide high quality research experiences and professional development activities for cohorts of visiting undergraduate researchers, (ii) motivate and prepare talented undergraduates to pursue, and succeed in, graduate study, (iii) assemble a反映美国人口多样性的参与者的干部（iv）吸引了来自研究活动有限的机构的学生，（​​v）当他们返回夏季计划时，继续参与者在夏季计划之外的参与，并（vi）（vi）促进该财产中四个机构之间的研究和教学合作。 该计划旨在增强财团中的机构之间的互动，从而增强了主要是本科少数族裔服务机构的研究能力。 此外，期望该财团内的合作将提供一个机会，以招募和培训各种各样的参与者，无论是在财团内还是全国。 上面描述的专业发展活动与佐治亚理工学院的其他先前存在的REU计划合作，旨在熟悉参与者参与广泛的项目，提高其演讲技巧，并在学术，企业家，经济，伦理学，伦理，伦理和跨学科框架中对AOG研究的观点进行了评估，以反映了NSF的宣传。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
