Subject: [Nsa] 2024 NCAR EdEC Diversity, Equity,
 and Inclusion Proposal Request
Message-ID: <c7427d70-a031-af7a-a9c3-27b091deb8f8@ucar.edu>

Dear colleagues,

We?re writing to make you aware of a small NCAR funding opportunity for 
diversity, equity and inclusion-related education and outreach 
activities. We invite submissions from both existing programs/activities 
that we have previously funded, as well as new ideas.

Activities should both:

 1. Align with the strategic goals and initiatives for NCAR Education,
    Engagement, and Early Career Development (EdEC) outlined in the NCAR
    E&O Strategic Plan
    <https://ncar.ucar.edu/sites/default/files/documents/related-links/2018-05/NCAR%20EO%20Strategic%20Plan%20Final.pdf>.

 2. Strengthen NCAR?s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in
    education-related work with an emphasis on activities and training
    that support NCAR?s capabilities and skills in education and
    engagement with external partners, for example, students and faculty
    at MSIs, minority staff at majority schools, or with marginalized
    communities.

We encourage the development of new activities that build upon and 
reinforce ongoing educational initiatives. The available funding totals 
$70,000, with no specific upper limit set for individual requests.

Please submit your proposal here: 2024 NCAR EdEC Diversity, Equity, and 
Inclusion Proposal Request <https://forms.gle/jeJEGMvFoR5yRG2Y8>

Renewal funding will only require a short paragraph and a detailed 
budget request.

For new ideas we ask for:

 1. A description of the proposed activity, including details about the
    staff involved and the target audience.
 2. A plan for evaluating the impact of the activity, along with an
    explanation of how it aligns with the NCAR E&O Strategic Plan.
 3. A detailed budget outlining expenses. If applicable, please also
    indicate any co-funding provided by the lab.

Additional guidance can be found here: 2024 NCAR EdEC Diversity, Equity 
and Inclusion Proposal Guidance 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FlGDGacZbTEOZRkuSHjsSEn-DTJcTbYcjHsukjCH_Dg/edit?usp=sharing>

The application deadline is Friday, October 6, 2023, and funding awards 
will be announced by November 1. All awarded funds must be utilized by 
March 31, 2025.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Todd Amodeo. 
(amodeo at ucar.edu)

Best wishes,

Todd Amodeo

AMS Culture Survey

Dear AMS Community



The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is excited to announce our very
first Culture Survey! The purpose of this Culture Survey is to understand
people?s experiences with equity, inclusion, and justice (EIJ) at the AMS.
We want to hear from members, volunteers, staff, and anyone who has engaged
with AMS.

<http://AMETSOC.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMTIxNzY0OCZwPTEmdT0xMTM2ODkyMjY5JmxpPTEwNDE3ODU0Mg/index.html>

We are requesting 10-15 minutes of your time to share your experiences so
we can better understand areas of strength and where we can improve. The
results of this survey will guide EIJ planning and programming at AMS over
the next three to five years. They will be a helpful comparison point to
measure progress over time. Every voice counts in this endeavor. We need
your help to create a Society that is more equitable, just, and inclusive.

Subject: [Nsa] Upcoming survey on cross-organizational training program
 feasibility
Message-ID: <CAFRzFUgG+dhv+b8E+rghD_21r2NpOfTuveazD30b=h04u2yV2Q@mail.gmail.com>

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to a survey which will be sent out to
all staff toward the end of September. This survey is part of a President
Strategic Initiative Fund which aims at investigating the feasibility of a
cross-organizational training program at NCAR/UCAR/UCP. This effort is led
by staff across the institution (NCAR/UCAR/UCP), job categories, and career
stages.

What

This anonymous survey aims to gather your opinions, feedback, and assess
your interest in a possible cross-organizational training program that, if
implemented, would be tailored to the needs and interests of NCAR/UCAR/UCP.
Information from the survey will help:

   -

   determine the interest in a possible cross-organizational training
   program
   -

   determine the level of support needed for a program
   -

   provide feedback to shape the development of a program.


Why

This feasibility study tries to envision an expanded framework
allowing all UCAR/NCAR/UCP
staff (not just scientists and engineers) to gain work experience in a
different lab, center, program, or office. This experience is intended to
be temporary and is aimed for staff to be introduced to new science,
technical and/or leadership skills. This experience can be viewed as
professional development with the goal to increase cross-organizational and
program collaborations, help staff develop new skills, and accelerate
personal growth.

Timeline

The survey will be released to all staff by email near the end of September
2023 and will be open for three (3) weeks. Results will be analyzed by the
team leading this effort and a short synthesis report will be made
available.

Thank you for your time in participating in this initiative. Please contact
Patricia Monta?o (PMontano at ucar.edu) and Gunter Leguy (gunterl at ucar.edu) if
you have any questions.

All the best,

Gunter Leguy (PSII, NCAR/CGD-EdEC)
