The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $465,011 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University located in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: STRENGTHENING THE OOI DATA LABS COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE (COP) TO ENHANCE UNDERGRADUATE DATA LITERACY," runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The award supports a collaborative effort between Rutgers University, Stockton University, Hillsborough Community College, City University of New York Queens College, and Carleton College to develop curriculum and student engagement using data from the National Science Foundation's Ocean Observing Initiative (OOI). The project will maintain and expand a community of practice for professors teaching with OOI data to build data literacy in undergraduate students and grow the workforce capacity in ocean data science and analytics. Key activities include providing targeted professional development for faculty to become expert users of OOI data and assets, developing new educational resources and Python-based activities to introduce technical skills, and recruiting diverse faculty from two-year colleges, regional four-year institutions, and minority-serving schools. This award falls under the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research to expand knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system.
