This project aims to host a four-day summit with fifteen leaders from Geoscience organizations with a demonstrated interest in improving belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity (BeAJEDI). The summit will provide these leaders with opportunities to share successful strategies for improving BeAJEDI in Geoscience. Leaders at the summit will design a conference where ~100-300 Geoscientists network, present their research, and share successful strategies for improving BeAJEDI in Geoscience. The summit will thus begin the process of increasing interagency and interpersonal sharing, design, and refinement of the strategies used to strengthen BeAJEDI in Geoscience.The main goal of this project is to host a four-day summit with 15 leaders from the largest and or influential Geoscience organizations with a demonstrated interest in improving belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity (BeAJEDI) in Geoscience. Summit participants will collaboratively design a conference workshop while sharing successful strategies for improving BeAJEDI for Geoscientists of Color. This designed workshop will be primarily attended by Geoscientists and will allow attendees to present research and network. The workshop will also include surveying and interviewing attendees to collect information that are germane for successfully recruiting and retaining People of Color within Geoscience. The questions that the surveys and interviews seek to answer are:1. What attracts People of Color to Geoscience?2. What are the experiences of Geoscientists of Color?3. What do full belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity look like to Geoscientists of Color? Alongside developing a novel method of answering the questions listed above, this project's broader impacts are strengthened by including a mentorship component. The summit will pair early-career researchers interested in BeAJEDI issues with established and experienced individuals. The early-career researchers will gain conference proposal writing experience while expanding their network.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.

该项目旨在举办为期四天的峰会，来自地球科学组织的 15 名领导人对改善归属感、可及性、正义、公平、多样性和包容性表现出浓厚的兴趣 (BeAJEDI)。此次峰会将为这些领导人提供机会，分享改进地球科学 BeAJEDI 的成功策略。峰会领导人将设计一次会议，让约 100-300 名地球科学家建立联系，展示他们的研究成果，并分享改进 BeAJEDI 地球科学的成功策略。因此，峰会将开始加强机构间和人际共享、设计和完善用于加强 BeAJEDI 地球科学的战略。该项目的主要目标是举办为期四天的峰会，来自最大和/或最大的国家的 15 名领导人参加有影响力的地球科学组织，对提高地球科学领域的归属感、可及性、公正性、公平性、多样性和包容性表现出兴趣（BeAJEDI）。峰会参与者将共同设计一个会议研讨会，同时分享为有色人种地球科学家改进 BeAJEDI 的成功策略。这个设计的研讨会将主要由地球科学家参加，并将允许与会者展示研究和网络。该研讨会还将包括对与会者进行调查和采访，以收集与成功招募和留住地球科学领域有色人种相关的信息。调查和访谈试图回答的问题是： 1．是什么吸引有色人种进入地球科学领域？2.有色人种地球科学家有哪些经验？3．对于有色人种地球科学家来说，完全的归属感、可及性、正义、公平、多样性和包容性是什么样的？除了开发一种回答上述问题的新颖方法外，该项目的更广泛影响还通过纳入指导部分得到加强。该峰会将对 BeAJEDI 问题感兴趣的早期职业研究人员与成熟且经验丰富的个人配对。早期职业研究人员将在扩大他们的网络的同时获得会议提案写作经验。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
