This grant funds organizational and logistical support for DISCO XXIX and PODS XIII in October 2024 and DISCO XXX and PODS XIV in October 2026. These symposia will produce a cohort group of early career professionals in the field of geochemistry and physical oceanography, initiating collegial relationships that will benefit the research performed by the participants at their employing institutions, and will enable them to expand the narrow focus of their research, share their experiences, and facilitate collaborative ventures. In addition, the cross-disciplinary contacts arising from the combination of the DISCO and PODS meetings will foster future inter-disciplinary understanding and collaborations, benefiting their employing institutions. Thus, the participants will be uniquely situated to take advantage of networking between individuals and groups, which is of great importance to foster advances in our scientific knowledge and preparedness to meet upcoming environmental challenges. PODS and DISCO attendees are potential future leaders in their field, and as such, even at this early stage in their careers, have knowledge that can benefit undergraduate students. To extend this beyond the University of Hawai‘i undergraduate students recruited to help with logistics during the meeting, participants at the 2024 and 2026 meetings will invited to be interviewed by the attending undergraduate students. These interviews will be turned into a 3 to 4-minute video that will be broadly distributed to institutions, including those that do not have graduate programs in oceanography, as well as organizations such as SACNAS and Black in Marine Science, that support under-represented groups. As the videos will have a short description of where the interviews took place, these videos will also provide a mechanism for increasing the awareness of PODS and DISCO beyond the traditional oceanography institutes.These symposia are for individuals within one year of attaining their PhD and who are seeking a career in academia or research laboratories – thus creating a cohort of early-career researchers. An applicant pool will be developed for the meetings from a broad announcement to chemical and physical oceanographers at academic and research institutions in the US and other countries. From this pool, program managers at the federal agencies supporting these events will select invitees. Each meeting will consist of a series of sessions grouped by research subject area, participant -led discussion periods, as well as presentations to the combined group by, and discussions with, guest speakers (1 from PODS and 1 from DISCO) and agency personnel explaining funding mechanisms and strategies. The newly hired University of Hawai‘i School of Ocean Earth Science and Technology DEI Director will give a presentation on issues faced by early career researchers. Participants will form breakout groups to discuss and report on current issues associated with developing careers in research. Formal and informal joint DISCO and PODS activities broaden the disciplinary expertise of the participants, promote future collaborations, and to make connections between their research and the education of future generations of scientists. The NSF funds will cover meeting venue rentals and catering, abstract-agenda preparation and dissemination, outreach video compilation, as well as participant support-related costs of air travel, hotel accommodation, and per diem for meals that are not provided as part of the symposia.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.

这笔赠款为 2024 年 10 月举行的 DISCO XXIX 和 PODS XIII 以及 2026 年 10 月举行的 DISCO XXX 和 PODS XIV 提供组织和后勤支持。这些研讨会将培养一批地球化学和物理海洋学领域的早期职业专业人员，建立学院关系，将有利于参与者在其所在机构进行的研究，并使他们能够扩大研究范围、分享经验并促进合作。 DISCO 和 PODS 会议相结合所产生的跨学科联系将促进未来的跨学科理解和合作，使其所在机构受益。因此，参与者将处于独特的地位，可以利用个人和团体之间的网络。 PODS 和 DISCO 的参与者对于促进我们科学知识的进步和为应对即将到来的环境挑战做好准备非常重要，他们是各自领域未来的潜在领导者，因此，即使在职业生涯的早期阶段，他们也拥有可以使本科生受益的知识。 .为了将其扩展到大学之外夏威夷本科生在会议期间被招募来帮助后勤工作，2024 年和 2026 年会议的参与者将被邀请接受与会本科生的采访，这些采访将被制作成 3 至 4 分钟的视频，广泛传播。分发给那些支持代表性不足群体的机构，包括那些没有海洋学研究生课程的机构，以及 SACNAS 和 Black in Marine Science 等组织。这些视频将还提供了一种机制，以提高对 PODS 和 DISCO 的认识，超越传统的海洋学机构。这些研讨会面向获得博士学位一年内、正在学术界或研究实验室寻求职业的个人，从而创造了一批早期职业生涯将为会议建立一个申请者库，向美国和其他国家的学术和研究机构的化学和物理海洋学家发出广泛的通知，支持这些活动的联邦机构的项目经理将从这个库中选出受邀者。会议将包括按研究主题领域分组的一系列会议、参与者主导的讨论时段，以及由嘉宾演讲者（1 位来自 PODS 和 1 位来自 DISCO）和机构人员向组合小组进行的演示和讨论，解释资助机制和策略新聘任的夏威夷大学海洋地球科学与技术学院院长将就早期职业研究人员面临的问题进行演讲，参与者将组成分组讨论和报告与正式研究职业相关的当前问题。以及非正式联合 DISCO 和 PODS 活动扩大参与者的学科专业知识，促进未来的合作，并将他们的研究与未来几代科学家的教育联系起来。国家科学基金会的资金将涵盖会议场地租赁和餐饮、摘要议程准备和传播、宣传视频编辑、以及与支持相关的航空旅行、酒店住宿和不作为研讨会一部分提供的膳食每日津贴的费用。该奖项是参与者的法定使命，通过使用基金会的智力优势和评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。更广泛的影响审查标准。
