This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve inclusivity in academic geoscience departments. The $1,265,746 award to Carleton College, spanning September 2024 to April 2025, will create a network of faculty change agents empowered to make incremental, positive cultural shifts within their home geoscience departments. Key activities include: 1) Facilitating professional development for geoscience faculty to foster evidence-based practice sharing, develop web resources, promote attitude change, and equip participants to lead further change; 2) Compiling and leveraging existing efforts to raise the visibility of work on cultural change and enhance collaboration opportunities. This project seeks to generate systemic change in academic geoscience culture by fostering environments where all individuals experience geoscience as safe, welcoming, and supportive, ultimately expanding participation and meeting workforce demands in this critical discipline.
