PSECCO is excited to announce its second belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (BAJEDI) workshop specifically designed for polar early career scientists. This free online workshop will be run by the excellent folks with THRIVE Lifeline (https://thrivelifeline.org) in conjunction with PSECCO.
A Showcase of Projects Funded by PSECCO BAJEDI Micro-Grants in 2022
In the fall of 2022, PSECCO launched its first Belonging, Accessibility, Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (BAJEDI) Micro-grant Solicitation and ended up funding three different proposals to kick off the program. The BAJEDI Micro-grant program was created to support US-based early career researchers who had ideas of how to advance BAJEDI principles in polar science but needed a little funding to bring those ideas to fruition. These awards are flexible in what they can support, as long as the ideas proposed support the work of historically excluded scholars in the polar sciences, bring polar education to historically excluded communities in the polar sciences, or advance the work of a person, program or group that is already doing that work. Here we are excited to share three examples of funded BAJEDI Micro-grant projects that have been wrapped up over the past year.
PSECCO releases its 2023 BAJEDI Micro-grant Solicitation!
PSECCO is excited to announce the 2023 cycle of PSECCO Belonging, Accessibility, Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (BAJEDI) Microgrants! The deadline to apply is October 31, 2023.

Participants will discuss the differences and similarities between working as a professional track research scientist versus as a tenure-track/tenured faculty member. Sinéad will share her reflections on working in a variety of research and academic positions over the last 15 years. Participants will have the opportunity for Q&A and will converse about their career interests, aspirations and the potential concerns they may have as they chart their own path in science.

Participants will discuss how to broaden the impact of their science, identify effective education and outreach activities that are aligned with the science and participants interest, talk about the broader impacts review criterion from NSF and strategies on how to develop a strong broader impacts plan and develop a draft for their own work.
