The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $125,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Agnes Scott College, Inc. in Decatur, Georgia. The goal of this 5-year grant, titled "RCN: DIVERSITY IN ECOLOGY, EVOLUTION, MARINE SCIENCE AND DISEASE (DEEMD) - EQUITY IN STEM IS A CRITICAL PART OF COLLABORATION," is to promote collaboration and equity in the fields of ecology, evolution, marine science, and emerging infectious disease research.
The grant funding will be used to facilitate in-person workshops, develop virtual working groups, establish a mentorship program, and generate a framework for more equitable approaches to this interdisciplinary research. It will also provide early career training through webinars and seminars to support training, professional development, laboratory exchanges, and career preparation. Assessments will be conducted through surveys to evaluate the overall RCN, the in-person workshops, and the mentorship program. The products from this RCN will be widely disseminated through various communication platforms.
