Note:
SAMs 1.4.2; This NSF conference research will require data collection from human subjects (IRB) through interactions or inventions such as interviews, experimentations, assessments. This award is to support three outreach activities held during the US National Combustion Meeting, March 19-23, 2023. These activities include an Early Career Workshop for Combustion Researchers, a Mentoring Mixer, and a Women in Combustion Luncheon. The goal of these activities is to bring together a community of early-career combustion researchers and form action committees to encourage early-career participation in the combustion research community. The participants will further develop four high-priority items, including education and communities of practice, development of mentorship programs, cross-disciplinary collaboration and open-source sharing, and public outreach. The workshop participants will discuss ways of developing new material, and incorporating such material in curricula. Another impact is to broaden dissemination of research findings to enhance scientific and technological understanding. Another impact will be to increased public scientific literacy and public engagement with science and technology. This workshop seeks to discuss and recommend how researchers can engage more with the public, to help people outside the field better understand this exciting and important research area. Finally, all three activities will focus on the development of a diverse, globally competitive STEM workforce. Workshop participants will discuss strategies to increase the diversity of the combustion research community, in terms of demographics/background and socioeconomic status, in all four tracks of discussion. This includes ways to collaborate with primarily undergraduate or non-doctoral (i.e., non-R1/R2) institutions
