[Nsa] 2024 NCAR EdEC Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Proposal Request

[Todd Amodeo]

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

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.
