Performance with Respect to the Strategic Implementation Plan Goal: To bring C-DEBI research and the role of subseafloor microbes to the forefront by: 1) increasing microbiology literacy in the general public and at the K-12 levels; 2) engaging and retaining students in STEM fields; and 3) training the next generation of subseafloor researchers. In our K-12 and general public activities, we rely heavily on partnerships with established organizations for whom these are the core target audiences. At the undergraduate level, we focus heavily on community college students and students from underrepresented minorities and marginalized groups, because we see a myriad of opportunities for some of the highest educational impact. Our most established education entities targets graduate students and beyond; here, our vision is to provide training in state-of-the-art technologies and instrumentation, together with mentoring in science communication, proposal preparation, project management, and other aspects of professional development. Our core objectives in K-12 education/general public are to: introduce C-DEBI content (e.g., the subseafloor biosphere, extreme microbiology, science and technology) into K-12 classrooms through professional development workshops for educators; provide hands-on science opportunities for students to engage them in microbiology and oceanography; and engage the general public in discovery science using public seminars, outreach activities, and social media. Our core objectives in undergraduate education are to: attract early and potentially undecided undergraduate students into STEM majors and strengthen their interest and passion for science and research; and provide cutting-edge university research opportunities, especially for community college students and members of underrepresented minorities. Our core objectives in graduate and postdoctoral education are to: train and nurture the next generation of subseafloor researchers; and provide professional development opportunities to allow them to expand their transferable skills.
6. Plans for the Next Reporting Period C-DEBI is committed to the continued development of broad-based, targeted education programs that train and foster the next generation of deep subseafloor biosphere researchers and on a broader scale, engage and retain STEM researchers. Our future objectives are to: 1. Create ongoing outreach programs that include standards-based lesson plans and activities delivered to teachers, while providing outreach opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. 2. Strengthen partnerships with community colleges by providing cutting edge research to faculty, promoting undergraduate courses and expanding summer research internship programs. 3. Expand the web site to include downloadable lesson plans and activities for teachers using existing partnerships and evolving new ways to enhance existing curriculum. 4. Use networking, existing organizations, social networking tools and local contacts to increase the scope of C-DEBI’s impact. 5. Promote calls for graduate student fellowships, travel grants, and postdoctoral researchers to attract the next generation of innovative scientists.
