This $1,561,546 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the "Utilizing Professional Societies to Achieve a Reinforcing Transformative Culture (UPSTART Culture)" project conducted by the Geological Society of America (GSA). The goal is to create an innovative, dynamic, and reciprocating learning ecosystem that promotes diversity, inclusion, and equitable cultural norms within the geosciences professions, which are deemed critical to the nation's energy, natural resource, and environmental security. The project deploys a multi-stage program of professional development activities for aspiring geoscientists from underrepresented groups, leveraging GSA's "On to the Future" initiative and collaboration with other geoscience associations. This award will fund activities to build scholars' scientific identity, develop professional skills, and empower them as emerging leaders to drive cultural change within the geoscience community.
