Inclusive Community
We are extremely disappointed that the NSF award that supported the AGeS3 initiative was terminated on April 25, 2025. The reason given was that the program was no longer in alignment with NSF priorities.
AGeS3 encourages projects and practices that support, engage, and welcome students and geochronology community members from all backgrounds. All of the AGeS3 micro-funding programs include collaborative relationships with power dynamics. Transparent expectations, open communication, identification of participation barriers, and awareness of individual biases are key to creating a safe and inclusive culture and experience for all of the programs.
In the tabs, we provide resources for Recruiting, for Labs and Mentors, and for Graduate Students. We hope that these resources will help you craft AGeS proposals that incorporate beneficial practices. We encourage you to consider and adapt the information as appropriate for your project.
