1. Moving Your Research Forward
What will be your legacy/impact within and beyond your field?

2. Questions you may ask of your “research program”…
What are the institutional expectations of me for research? Will I have start-up funds? Existing equipment/space/resources/MOUs?
Geographical Placement: Fixed/place-based? If distant, are there data analyses old/new that can have citizen/K12 teacher/UG classroom science use?
Modifiable for earlier student (K12/UG) or community involvement?
Components that may be time-limited/flexible?...Could it be done in a course lab sessions/field trips for younger students?
STEM-relevance?...STEAM, STEM-C
Others?

3. How can I meet the expectations of my supervisor/department/etc
How can I meet the expectations of my supervisor/department/etc. while accomplishing the goals that I have for my career?
Combine, where possible: Teaching, Research, and Service to University (& Community)
Consider broader (non-traditional?) collaborations

4. Ideas for doing this research growth/development
Increase UG student involvement (NAS: Undergraduate Research Experiences for STEM Students Successes, Challenges, and Opportunities)
formal REU/Bridge/student research training programs
CUREs
Equipment Training
Post-baccalaureates programs?
Service-Learning (NAS: Service-Learning in Undergraduate Geosciences: Proceedings of a Workshop)
Relevant training grants?
Foundations, NSF I-USE/other; at MSI?

5. Your options will likely have some institution-type specificity …Let’s chat about that
