The National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences awarded Central Washington University $294,874 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on April 15, 2026, to support the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) Early Career Geoscience Faculty Workshop. The primary product delivered is an annual five-day professional development workshop for early-career geoscience faculty in atmospheric, ocean, and solid earth sciences. During the workshop, experienced facilitators provide instruction on evidence-based teaching practices, research methodologies, and career management strategies tailored specifically to the geosciences discipline. Following each workshop, NAGT delivers follow-on professional development activities and community-of-practice sessions that bring together participants from multiple cohorts to strengthen peer networks and sustained learning outcomes. Over the three-year award period through March 31, 2029, NAGT will continue its established program, which has previously served over 1,200 early-career faculty and demonstrated measurable impacts on participant confidence and academic career preparation. Workshop sessions will be updated to reflect current evidence-based practices, and enhanced follow-on programming will extend the community support beyond the initial workshop experience. The initiative directly supports the Geosciences program's mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise by developing well-prepared educators, mentors, and researchers who contribute to a robust geoscience workforce.Federal Grant Award Summary
