Through the Leading Inclusive Transformation in the Geosciences (LIT GEO) program, geoscientists from North Carolina Central University, University of Puerto Rico-Arecibo, and East Carolina University will develop an Intercultural Network of research and Learning Ecosystems. By leveraging the strengths of different academic institutions, LIT GEO will develop awareness strategies to contribute to culturally transformative practices in geoscience. This project will provide insight into how capacity building programs contribute to creating inclusive environments enabling diverse graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to pursue long-term careers in geoscience. Research opportunities in LIT GEO will center on community-based geoscience in North Carolina and Puerto Rico. LIT GEO will support research, training, and mentoring via: (i) a post-baccalaureate (PB) bridge program into graduate study, (ii) Master’s (MS) programs, (iii) post-doctoral (PD) and faculty training in culturally relevant methodologies in teaching, mentoring, and research, and (iv) professional development for community members. LIT GEO will support: 35 PB, 16 MS students, and 4 PD scholars from diverse backgrounds and 20 faculty participating in training and research with communities. Yearly, cohorts will consist of 17 students and PD scholars, with a total of 55 non-faculty participants over 5 years. Geoscience research centered around community needs will provide tangible outcomes to residents while demonstrating the societal value of geoscience. LIT GEO will support capacity building of community organizations to connect communities and academic researchers via equitable models of partnership. The network will create long-lasting structures of cooperative and inclusive mentoring environments across institutions and with communities. LIT GEO will build upon 5 competencies (diversity, community science, communication, leadership, and data literacy) to provide capacity building. Intercultural Summits in NC and PR will provide training, workshops, and field experiences in partnership with communities facing environmental challenges. Activities throughout the year will include professional development with speakers from diverse cultures and backgrounds via an Emerging Geoscience Scholars Seminar Series, workshops that apply the core competencies, and cohort building activities that expand participant experiences and build trusting environments and cultural belonging. Institutional agreements will generate cultural transformational processes to enable internship programs, mentorship, research, and building graduate curriculum with access to courses across the network, maximizing faculty contributions among institutions.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.

通过地球科学（LIT GEO）计划的主要包容性转型，来自北卡罗来纳州中央大学，波多黎各大学和东卡罗来纳大学的地球科学家将开发研究和学习生态系统的跨文化网络。通过利用不同学术机构的优势，LIT GEO将制定意识策略，以促进地球科学的文化变革实践。该项目将洞悉能力建设计划如何为创建包容性环境做出贡献，从而使潜水员的研究生和博士后学者在地球科学领域购买长期职业。 LIT GEO的研究机会将集中在北卡罗来纳州和波多黎各的社区地球科学上。 LIT GEO将通过：（i）研究，培训和心理研究：（i）在研究生研究中进行研究，培训（PB）桥梁计划，（ii）硕士（MS）计划，（iii）博士后（III）博士后（PD）和在教学，心理和研究方面的文化相关方法中的教师培训，以及（IV）专业成员的专业成员。 LIT GEO将支持：35个PB，16名MS学生和4位来自潜水员背景的PD学者，以及20名教职员工参加了与社区的培训和研究。每年，同伙将由17名学生和PD学者组成，共有55年的55名非教师参与者。围绕社区需求的地球科学研究将为居民提供切实的成果，同时展示地球科学的社会价值。 LIT GEO将支持社区组织的能力建设，以通过公平的合作伙伴关系建立社区和学术研究人员。该网络将建立跨机构和社区的合作和包容性心理环境的持久结构。 LIT GEO将建立在5种能力（多样性，社区科学，传播，领导力和数据素养）的基础上，以提供能力建设。 NC和PR的跨文化峰会将与面临环境挑战的社区合作提供培训，讲习班和现场经验。全年的活动将包括通过新兴的地球科学学者研讨会系列的专业发展，来自潜水员文化和背景的演讲者，应用核心竞争力的讲习班以及扩大参与体验并建立信任环境和文化属性的队列建设活动。机构协议将产生文化转型流程，以实现实践计划，指导，研究和建立研究生课程，并在整个网络上获得课程，从而最大程度地提高机构之间的教师贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia rection the Iss the Action of Action the奖项。
