This $128,930 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the Advancing Geochronology Science, Spaces, and Systems (AGES3) initiative led by the Geological Society of America. AGES3 aims to increase access to geochronology data and expertise to further understanding of integrated Earth systems. It implements a platform to attract underrepresented groups to the geosciences and tests grassroots ideas at the frontier of inclusive, collaborative science.
The award funds over 150 strategic micro-awards across three subprograms from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2027. The AGES-GRAD program supports high-impact collaborative science projects between graduate students, labs, and home institution mentors. The AGES-DIG program pilots initiatives to increase access to geochronology for those underrepresented in earth sciences. The new AGES-TRACE program supports community-led efforts to address emerging challenges. Through micro-funding, community engagement, and diversity/inclusion practices, AGES3 advances geochronology science while promoting a more accessible and collaborative geoscience community.
