About the series
Join NSF program directors from the Division of Research, Innovation, Synergies and Education (RISE) in the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) regarding the new Focus on Recruiting Emerging Climate and Adaptation Scientists and Transformers (FORECAST) program (NSF 24-558) in two virtual office hours to learn more about this new opportunity.
The FORECAST program seeks to facilitate transitions from status-quo graduate career preparation to student-centered models with an emphasis on building entrepreneurial and innovation capacity through intentional professional development activities. Focused on developing cohorts of innovative scholars from emerging research institutions (ERIs) and groups historically excluded in STEM, FORECAST should help develop STEM talent adept in community resilience and the translation of research outcomes for societal benefits.
