The National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050) awarded $114,619 to Carleton College on April 15, 2026, to support the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) Early Career Geoscience Faculty Workshop through March 31, 2029. The award funds an annual five-day workshop that brings together early-career faculty in atmospheric, ocean, and solid Earth sciences to integrate evidence-based teaching, research, and service practices into their academic careers. Key deliverables include facilitated workshop sessions, updated curriculum reflecting current evidence-based practices, follow-on professional development activities for prior participants, and comprehensive program evaluations and participant feedback mechanisms to assess impact and strengthen the community of practice. This long-running initiative has previously supported over 1,200 early-career faculty and has demonstrated measurable outcomes, with past participants reporting increased confidence in their academic careers and readily adoptable discipline-specific practices. The three-year funding cycle will enable NAGT to continue annual workshops while expanding cohort-building activities through multi-year reunion sessions that leverage prior participants to strengthen peer networks and sustained professional development support for the geoscience workforce.Summary of Federal Project Grant Award
