The Faculty Development in geoSpace Science (FDSS) opportunity aims to integrate geospace science--to includes solar and space physics and space weather research--into natural sciences, engineering or related departments at U.S. institutions of higher education and stimulate the development of undergraduate or graduate programs or curricula capable of training the next generation of leaders in geospace science. Georgia Tech will create an FDSS tenure-track position jointly in the College of Sciences and College of Engineering, focused on solar-terrestrial and space weather research. Five departments in the university will collaborate on the faculty search process, instead of the traditional hiring model where one university department leads a faculty hiring. The new faculty will be integrated into a major new interdisciplinary space research venture supported by the university, which would accelerate their networking and collaborative opportunities. They will engage a large number of undergraduate students in research, leveraging the institution’s Vertically Integrated Projects that has been demonstrated to have positive impacts on retention and career trajectory of underrepresented groups.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.

地球空间科学教师发展 (FDSS) 机会旨在将地球空间科学（包括太阳和空间物理学以及空间天气研究）整合到美国高等教育机构的自然科学、工程或相关部门，并刺激本科生或佐治亚理工学院将在科学学院和工程学院联合设立 FDSS 终身教授职位，专注于日地和空间天气研究。大学将在教师搜寻过程中进行合作，而不是由一个大学部门主导教师招聘的传统招聘模式，新教师将被整合到由大学支持的一个重大的新跨学科空间研究项目中，这将加速他们的网络。他们将吸引大量本科生参与研究，利用该机构的垂直整合项目，这些项目已被证明对代表性不足群体的保留和职业轨迹产生积极影响。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的。通过评估提供支持基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
