 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: INFORM FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR DEVELOPING THE GEOSCIENCE WORKFORCE
Join Virtual Office Hour on Dear Colleague Letter Requesting Information to Update U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) GEOPAths Program
You are cordially invited to join a Virtual Office Hour on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 2 pm EST with U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) Program Directors about the Dear Colleague Letter (DCL; NSF 24-072) requesting information on future directions for developing the geoscience workforce, specifically updating the GEOPAths Program.
As the GEOPAths program approaches its ten-year anniversary, GEO is seeking input from the community on needs that can be addressed by the next iteration of the program. The information will help inform future directions for developing the geoscience workforce and an update of GEOPAths—the Pathways into the Earth, Ocean, Polar and Atmospheric & Geospace Sciences program (NSF23-540).
Input on innovative and successful strategies for training the future geoscience workforce is encouraged. Six questions are provided in the DCL as prompts for input to help develop a future, inclusive workforce reflective of the broad talent across the country. Instructions on submitting written information to NSF are included in the DCL. Responses must be received on or before 5:00 PM Eastern on June 7, 2024.
GEO’s Division for Research, Innovation, Synergies and Education (RISE) will continue to support existing GEOPAths awards and will accept new proposals focused on broadening participation in the geosciences through the Geoscience Opportunities for Leadership in Diversity (GOLD-EN) program (PD 21-178Y).
