This award will initiate a Travel Grant program for faculty from typically under-resourced institutions, such as Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and community colleges. Faculty at these institutions often have higher teaching loads and do not have access to significant travel funds, making it more difficult for them to attend scientific conferences. Attendance at conferences allows faculty to establish connections to other researchers and bring back the latest innovations in research and teaching to their classrooms.The American Geophysical Union’s (AGU’s) Fall Meeting is a large gathering of Geoscience professionals, with 22,000 attendees from 100+ countries. This award will initiate a Travel Grant program for up to 50 early-to-mid career faculty from under-resourced institutions to attend the 2024 Fall AGU meeting. The application process will be similar to the current AGU student travel program and advertising for the program will be conducted across multiple avenues. In addition to a travel stipend, the travel grant awardees will have the opportunity to participate in a professional development workshop, networking and social events, co-chair sessions at the conference, and review student presentations. There will be pre- and post-event evaluation surveys and one or more journal articles will result from the award.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.

该奖项将为来自典型资源不足机构的教职人员启动一项旅行补助计划，例如新兴研究机构 (ERI)、少数族裔服务机构 (MSI) 和社区学院，这些机构的教职人员通常教学负担较高且没有足够的资源。获得大量旅行资金，使他们更难以参加科学会议，使教师能够与其他研究人员建立联系，并将研究和教学的最新创新带回课堂。联盟 (AGU) 秋季会议是地球科学专业人士的一次大型聚会，有来自 100 多个国家/地区的 22,000 名与会者。该奖项将为来自资源不足机构的多达 50 名早期到中期职业教师启动一项旅行资助计划，让他们参加 2024 年会议。秋季 AGU 会议的申请流程将与当前的 AGU 学生旅行计划类似，除了旅行津贴外，该计划的广告还将通过多种渠道进行。资助获得者将有机会参加专业发展研讨会、网络和社交活动、会议联合主席会议，并审查学生的演讲。活动前和活动后将进行评估调查，并发表一篇或多篇期刊文章。这反映了 NSF 奖项的法定使命，并且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。
