Directorate for Geosciences
• Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences– Support for individuals
• PIs, students, families, communities
– Support for Institutions• Capacity building and program development at
MSIs
– Support for collaborations• Develop or use existing networks (e.g.,
LSAMP)
Directorate for Geosciences• REU Sites
– Individuals• Encourage PIs to recruit from LSAMP institutions and
other MSIs
– Institutions• Encourage proposals for Sites from MSIs
– Collaborations• Encourage establishing strong connections with MSIs
(particularly LSAMPs)
• In Progress:• Work to raise awareness of diversity challenges and
strategies for success.
Effective Strategies
• Show relevance – applications related to modern, technologically savvy, increasingly urban and industrialized world.
• Build partnerships between universities, community colleges, K-12 teachers and guidance counselors, families, and communities to address pipeline issues.
• Promote mentoring relationships among scientists, educators, and students.
Effective Strategies
• Provide financial support to facilitate participation in the geosciences among all members of the diverse U.S. population.
• Publicize traditional and non-traditional geoscience career opportunities.
