Other Issues We would like to add information (contacts, programs, etc.) on diversity outreach opportunites for researchers looking for ways to fullfil NSF's Criterion II. We will begin collecting information. If you are involved in a diversity related program or have a contact at a minority-serving institution, please contact Sheri and pass on that information. As noted by Susan Avery, we need to think about "Diversity Programs" that we can seek funding for through NSF, capital campaigns or other sources. There are currently open calls for proposals for enhancing diversity in the geosciences (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=12726&org=GEO&from=home), and broadening participation in STEM (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13646&org=GEO).
