This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).The Geosciences are the least racially and ethnically diverse of all Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fields (Bernard et al., 2018, NSF 2017). E(SP)2 is a unique program that immerses students in various realms of Geoscience with class, field, lab, and internship opportunities while providing significant support through faculty and peer mentorship, Supplemental Instruction, and cohort comradery. Students enter E(SP)2 upon admission to Barnard College or following their first year, creating hybrid cohorts. Prior to their first year in E(SP)2, Scholars will participate in a Summer Bridge program introducing them to the College resources and support programs, faculty, and other students. During the first year, Scholars will hone scientific habits of mind through a credit bearing Journal club and a funded Spring Break field trip. Scholars will also participate in Supplemental Instruction for keystone introductory courses in the Environmental Science Major, providing deep collaborative learning. In their second year of E(SP)2, Scholars enroll in a credit-bearing Science Communication and Outreach class taught through an environmental justice (EJ) lens with service learning components, co-taught by our community partner, BioBus. The centerpiece of E(SP)2 will be two summers of funded independent research in a laboratory, with the opportunity to pursue an EJ-related internship during their second summer. E(SP)2 will also employ a unique, student-led evaluation process to enhance our knowledge of the factors that contribute most to attracting and retaining diverse students. The Environmental Science Pathways Scholar Program [E(SP)2] at Barnard College, an all women’s undergraduate institution, will create a nurturing yet intellectually engaging Geoscience community to promote the education and success of persons excluded from science because of ethnicity or race (Science PEERs; Asai, 2020) and those who identify as first generation or low-income college students. Based out of Barnard College and building upon existing successful opportunity programs, E(SP)2 will provide unique experiences representing the many Geoscience career paths by leveraging partnerships with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, NYC community organizations, and Black Rock Forest in Cornwall, NY. E(SP)2 aims to achieve the following goals: 1) Foster a more diverse student and alumnae community at Barnard College, 2) Strengthen collaborations with NYC researchers and Environmental Justice (EJ) organizations, 3) Advance cohorts of Barnard Science PEERs through graduation with retention in the sciences beyond graduation, and 4) Promote justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion through curricular and co-curricular experiences. Ultimately, E(SP)2 Scholars will build their confidence and skills in scientific practice, thinking, and communication as valued members of a scientific community.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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》的全部或部分资助（公法117-2）。地球科学是所有科学，技术，工程和数学领域的所有科学，技术，工程和数学领域的最少和种族多样性的，Bernard等人，2018年，2018年，NSF 2017，NSF 2017。教师和同伴的心态，补充教学和队列竞赛。学生进入Barnard College或第一年后进入E（SP）2，创建混合群体。在E（SP）2的第一年之前，学者将参加一项夏季桥梁计划，向他们介绍大学资源和支持计划，教职员工和其他学生。在第一年，学者将通过信用期刊俱乐部和资助的春假野外旅行来磨练科学习惯。学者还将参加Keystone的补充教学，介绍环境科学专业的课程，提供深入的协作学习。在E（SP）2的第二年，学者参加了由环境正义（EJ）镜头教授的信用科学传播和外展课程，并由我们的社区合作伙伴Biobus共同教授服务学习组件。 E（SP）2的核心将是实验室中资助的独立研究的两个夏季，并有机会在第二个夏天进行与EJ相关的实习。 E（SP）2还将采用独特的学生主导的评估过程，以增强我们对吸引和留住潜水员学生最大程度的因素的了解。 Barnard College的环境科学途径学者计划[E（SP）2]是所有女性本科机构，将创建一个养育但具有智力上引人入胜的地球科学社区，以促进由于种族或种族的教育和成功的教育和成功（科学同行； Asai，2020年），并确定为第一代或低年份的学生。 E（SP）2基于Barnard College并基于现有的成功机会计划，将通过与Lamont-Doherty Earth天文台，纽约市社区组织和纽约州康沃尔市的Black Rock Forest的合作伙伴关系，提供代表许多地球科学职业道路的独特体验。 E（sp）2旨在实现以下目标：1）在巴纳德学院（Barnard College）培养一个更加多样化的学生和校友社区，2）加强与纽约市研究人员和环境正义组织（EJ）组织的合作，3）提高了巴纳德科学同伴的同伙，通过毕业以外的科学的保留以及促进正义，以及促进司法，以及与现代的融合，以及现代化的融合，通过毕业和4）的毕业者的毕业，并进行了现代融合。最终，E（SP）2学者将在科学实践，思维和沟通中建立他们作为科学界的重要成员的信心和技能。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估值得支持。
