As global change disrupts Earth’s climate, biodiversity, water resources, and food systems, more diverse and inclusive science teams are needed to develop sustainable environmental solutions. This award will broaden participation in science through: 1) the development of 1-on-1 and peer mentorship programs, 2) academic career advancement webinars, and 3) a conference designed to strengthen scientific networks and build interdisciplinary collaborations across ecology, evolution, environmental microbiology, the geosciences, and atmospheric and marine sciences. The meeting will invite environmental leaders, early career faculty, and trainees across the environmental sciences to come together for networking and leadership training. This project aims to help retain scientists from minoritized groups. This award will provide training on how to advance to, and succeed at, leadership positions; it will help participants build new networks and new science collaborations; and, it will create opportunities for advancing mentorship skills. The impacts of community-building, collaboration-building and professional development will improve retention and advancement into science leadership positions. Reports from government, industry, academia, and non-governmental organizations have all concluded that a lack of human diversity is costly to the entire science community, and that broadening participation benefits all stakeholders. The United States is a diverse nation, yet this diversity is not reflected in the population of environmental scientists, particularly at higher ranks. Environmental science leadership positions in universities, agencies, and professional societies do not reflect the broader population. Among the evidence-based approaches to broaden participation in science are culturally-appropriate mentorship, access to opportunities, leadership training, and interventions at vulnerable points of attrition. This project blends these approaches with year-long mentorship, networking, and professional development programming. Existing science organizations are leveraged to unite and form sustainable networks that catalyze cross-cutting scientific collaborations. All of these activities are designed with the intention of uplifting environmental scientists, combating attrition, and launching early- and mid-career researchers toward leadership and advancement.This project is supported by the Division of Environmental Biology, the Division of Biological Infrastructure, the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems - Symbiosis Infection & Immunity program, the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences - Systems and Synthetic Biology program, and the Division of Ocean Sciences - Biological Oceanography program.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.

随着全球变化破坏地球的气候，生物多样性，水资源和食品系统，需要更多的潜水员和包容性的科学团队来开发可持续的环境解决方案。该奖项将通过以下方式扩大科学的参与：1）开发一对1和同伴的心态计划，2）学术职业发展网络研讨会，以及3）旨在加强科学网络并建立跨生态，环境微生物学，地球科学以及大气和海洋科学的跨学科合作的会议。该会议将邀请环境科学的环境领导者，早期职业教师和学员聚集在一起进行网络和领导培训。该项目旨在帮助保留少数团体的科学家。该奖项将提供有关如何提高领导职务并取得成功的培训；它将帮助参与者建立新的网络和新的科学合作；而且，它将为提高心态技能创造机会。社区建设，合作建设和专业发展的影响将改善保留和进步科学领导地位。政府，工业，学术界和非政府组织的报告都得出结论，缺乏人类多样性对整个科学界来说是昂贵的，并且扩大参与受益于所有利益相关者。美国是一个多样性的国家，但这种多样性并没有反映在环境科学家的人群中，尤其是在较高的等级中。大学，机构和专业社会的环境科学领导地位并不能反映出更广泛的人口。扩大科学参与的基于证据的方法包括具有文化的心态，机会，领导培训和干预措施，处于脆弱的流失点。该项目将这些方法与长达一年的心态，网络和专业发展节目融为一体。现有的科学组织将被利用为联合并形成可持续的网络，以催化跨切割科学合作。所有这些活动的设计旨在提高环境科学家，打击属性，并将早期和中期研究人员启动领导和进步。该项目得到了环境生物学分校的支持，生物基础设施，综合有机体系统和生物学的生物疗法和细胞神经疗法划分 - 生物学基础和生物学分区 - 分子和细胞神经疗法 - 分子和细胞神经疗法 - 海洋科学 - 生物海洋学计划。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审查标准来评估，被认为是珍贵的支持。
