The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and The Coastal Society will design, organize and host a virtual workshop series for professional development of early career marine science students, particularly those who are attending Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) or who are from groups historically excluded from ocean science careers. The project will aid undergraduates considering a graduate degree, graduate students seeking their terminal degree, and graduates embarking on their career pathway. Evidence in the recent educational research literature and informal feedback from faculty and students at MSIs confirm the value of professional development and mentoring. Efforts to enlist faculty as co-facilitators will extend the merit of the proposed work well beyond the students who attend the events. The project will involve faculty from sixteen MSIs to work in clusters of four with the workshop organizers to tailor the professional development training according to the needs of the students at their institutions. Four sets of events will be hosted for students at those MSIs, with a projected attendance of a few hundred students. The agendas, speakers, content, and format for these events can serve as models for the faculty to use in future years, thereby positively impacting future students in their programs.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.

国家大气研究中心（NCAR）和沿海协会将设计，组织和举办虚拟研讨会系列，以供早期职业海洋科学专业的学生，​​尤其是那些参加少数民族服务机构（MSI）或来自历史悠久的群体的专业发展。该项目将有助于考虑研究生学位，寻求终端学位的研究生以及毕业生开始职业道路的本科生。在最近的教育研究文献和MSIS学生的非正式反馈中，证据证实了专业发展和指导的价值。吸引教师作为共同利益者的努力将使拟议工作的优点远远超出参加活动的学生。该项目将涉及从16个MSI的教职员工，在四人组中与研讨会组织者一起工作，以根据其机构的学生的需求来量身定制专业发展培训。这些MSI的学生将举办四组活动，预计将有数百名学生参加。这些活动的议程，演讲者，内容和格式可以作为未来几年中教师使用的模型，从而对未来的学生产生积极影响。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审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
