The National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Geosciences offers the Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG) grant. This grant aims to increase the participation of underrepresented groups (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Native Pacific Islanders, and persons with disabilities) in geoscience fields. Its primary purpose is to foster engagement from pre-college to doctoral levels, facilitate career entry, and enhance the perceived relevance of geosciences among diverse populations. Funding is available through Planning Grants, Track 1 for proof-of-concept projects, and Track 2 for sustainable, full-scale initiatives.

| Description: | The Directorate for Geosciences of the National Science Foundation supports research and education in the Atmospheric, Earth, and Ocean Sciences. The Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG) Program is designed to address the fact that certain groups are underrepresented in the geosciences relative to the proportions of those groups in the general population. The primary goal of the OEDG Program is to increase participation in the geosciences by African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (American Indians and Alaskan Natives), Native Pacific Islanders (Polynesians or Micronesians), and persons with disabilities. A secondary goal of the program is to increase the perceived relevance of the geosciences among broad and diverse segments of the population. The OEDG Program supports activities that will increase the number of members of underrepresented groups who: Are involved in formal pre-college geoscience education programs; Pursue bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees in the geosciences; Enter geoscience careers; and Participate in informal geoscience education programs.The OEDG Program offers three funding Tracks: OEDG Planning Grants; Track 1: Proof-of-Concept Projects; and Track 2: Full-Scale Projects.OEDG Planning Grants – This new Track supports planning workshops, conferences, symposia and related short-term activities that facilitate either: 1) development of new strategic plans to implement systemic, community-wide programs to broaden participation in the geosciences; or, 2) development of new partnerships or collaborations between multiple institutions seeking to establish sustainable projects that address the goals of the OEDG program.Track 1: Proof-of-Concept Projects – This Track supports short-term activities. Track 1 projects include activities that will occur only one time, as well as those that are intended as the testing phase of an anticipated long-term Full-Scale Project.Track 2: Full-Scale Projects – This Track supports longer-term activities that will identify and promote pathways to geoscience careers among members of underrepresented groups. It is expected that Track 2 proposals will establish programs that are sustainable without additional OEDG funding. Prior Track 1 OEDG funding is not a pre-requisite for submitting a Track 2 proposal. |
