Pathways into the Earth, Ocean, Polar and Atmospheric & Geospace Sciences

and/or postgraduate degrees through the design and testing of novel approaches that engage students in authentic, career-relevant experiences in geoscience. In order to broaden participation in the geosciences, engaging students from historically excluded groups or from non-geoscience degree programs is a priority.This solicitation features three funding tracks that focus on Geoscience Learning Ecosystems (GLEs): 1. GEOPAths:Informal Networks(IN).Collaborative projects in this track will support geoscience learning and experiences in informal settings for teachers, pre-college (e.g., upper level high school) students, and early undergraduates in the geosciences. 2. GEOPAths:Undergraduate Preparation(UP).Projects in this track will engage pre-college and undergraduate students in extra-curricular experiences and training in the geosciences with a focus on service learning and workplace skill building. 3. GEOPAths:Graduate Opportunities(GO).Projects in this track will improve research and career-related pathways into the geosciences for undergraduate and graduate students through institutional collaborations with a focus on service learning and workplace skill building.
