The National Science Foundation awarded a $266,162 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's National Center for Atmospheric Research to support the "EAGER: Elevating and Empowering Hispanic/Latinx Voices through Video: Reducing Barriers in Academia and Building an Ecosystem for Success in the Earth System Sciences" program. The funding will support the Geosciences program, which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased understanding of the integrated Earth system.
Specifically, the two-year grant will fund the development of educational videos and other outreach materials to elevate Hispanic/Latinx representation in the earth system sciences. The videos and outreach efforts are intended to reduce barriers that underrepresented groups face in academia and build an ecosystem for greater success. The project directly supports the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research. All outputs will be delivered between September 2021 and August 2023 utilizing the $266k in federal funding provided by the National Science Foundation.
