Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are an important part of the NSF career and broadening participation portfolio for the geosciences. This project focuses on supporting the people running NSF GEO REUs so that the programs are effective, evidence-based and inclusive. It is intended to support both new and established Principal Investigators (PIs) and managers of the REU programs funded in the Geosciences directorate (GEO) by fostering the sharing of strategies and resources and facilitating discussions amongst PIs. The GEO REU Network has been built around the GEO REU email listserv and website, events at conferences, and hosting of the biannual workshop for PIs. This award continues and expands support to the network for an additional two years. The project PIs will run workshops for new PIs and a bi-annual PI meeting. They will provide resources on timely topics such as ethics, implicit bias, sexual harassment prevention, and inclusive strategies, keeping the community current in its approaches and thinking. The effort will also include new support structures such as a GEO REU Leadership Council. In addition, a new partnership between the GEO and BIO REU community will invigorate discussions with fresh perspectives from a larger, well-established network of REU PIs.The effort to support GEO REU PIs in providing high quality research internship experiences involves the development of a Community of Practice and a body of knowledge of successful practices of mentoring, pedagogy, and diversity and inclusion. The programmatic elements included and measures taken in running an REU are advanced over time through the sharing of strategies, concerns, and successes. Improving the quality of research internships results in better trained students and more rigorous science projects. The GEO REU Network provides a mechanism for REU PIs or managers to develop higher quality REU sites using provided resources and support, and to be more successful in engaging students from a broader range of backgrounds. The project leaders will synthesize resources and strategies, facilitate discussion around challenges, and organize events for the REU PIs at conferences. The goal of this project is to support the creation of more effective and inclusive GEO REU programs. Support for this project is provided by the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, the Division of Earth Sciences and the Division of Ocean Sciences.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.

本科生的研究经验（REUS）是NSF职业的重要组成部分，并扩大了地球科学的参与组合。该项目致力于支持运行NSF Geo Reus的人员，以便计划有效，基于证据且包容。它旨在通过促进策略和资源的共享并促进PIS中的讨论来支持新的和已建立的首席研究人员（PIS）和REU计划的经理和REU计划的经理。 GEO REU网络是围绕GEO REU电子邮件列表和网站，会议活动以及PIS每年一次的每年一次研讨会构建的。该奖项继续并扩大了对网络的支持两年。 PIS项目将举办新的PIS和两年一次的PI会议。他们将提供有关及时主题的资源，例如道德，隐性偏见，预防性骚扰和包容性策略，使社区保持其方法和思维方式。这项工作还将包括新的支持结构，例如GEO REU领导委员会。此外，GEO和Bio REU社区之间的新合作伙伴关系将通过从更大的，建立的REU PIS网络的新观点激发讨论。为支持Geo Reu PIS提供高质量的研究实习经验的努力涉及实践社区的发展，并建立了对培养，教育，教育学，多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多样性和多种知识的了解。通过共享策略，关注和成功，随着时间的推移，包括的程序化元素和运行REU采取的措施将随着时间的推移而提高。提高研究实习的质量会导致训练有素的学生和更严格的科学项目。 GEO REU网络为REU PIS或经理提供了一种机制，可以使用提供的资源和支持来开发更高质量的REU网站，并更成功地吸引来自广泛背景的学生。项目负责人将综合资源和战略，促进有关挑战的讨论，并在会议上为REU PIS组织活动。该项目的目的是支持创建更有效和包容的Geo REU计划。大气和地理科学，地球科学和海洋科学司提供了对该项目的支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估来评估值得支持的。
