THE PROPOSED PROJECT "LEVERAGING NASA EARTH SCIENCE DISASTER PROGRAM RESOURCES TO BROADEN THE AMS PROJECT ATMOSPHERE SCIENCE LITERACY PROGRAM" WILL ENHANCE THE WEATHER-BASED NATURAL DISASTERS RISK AND RESILIENCE CONTENT OF THE PROJECT ATMOSPHERE TRAIN-THE-TRAINER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (PD) PROGRAM AND WILL ADD ABOUT NINE PARTICIPANTS TO REACH A ROBUST TOTAL OF TWENTY-FIVE. THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY (AMS) PROJECT ATMOSPHERE 6-WEEK SUMMER PROGRAM WITH FOCUS ON A ONE-WEEK RESIDENCE WORKSHOP PROVIDES AN ACTIVE VENUE FOR NOAA/NASA EARTH SCIENCE COLLABORATION REVIEWING THE STATE OF THE SCIENCE IN BOTH INSTITUTIONS AND SUPPORTS THE STRATEGIC PLANS OF BOTH ORGANIZATIONS. PROJECT ATMOSPHERE WILL BUILD THE CAPACITY OF PEER TRAINERS IN SATELLITE DATA INTERPRETATION RELATED TO NATURAL DISASTERS SUCH AS HURRICANES FLOODING AND WILDFIRES. THE PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE TO PARTICIPANTS HOW THEY CAN USE THESE DATA AND RESOURCES IN PEER-TRAINING ACTIVITIES. THE RESIDENCE WORKSHOP IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT ATMOSPHERE PROGRAM WHEREBY PARTICIPANTS GAIN GRADUATE CREDIT FOR COMPLETION OF ALL REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING THE CONDUCT OF POSTWORKSHOP PEER-TRAINING SESSIONS. NOAA PROVIDES FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT FOR PROJECT ATMOSPHERE AND CONTINUED NASA SUPPORT WILL MAINTAIN A STRONG PARTICIPANT GROUP AND THE INCORPORATION OF NASA MISSION DATA AND RESOURCES. THE RESIDENCE WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD FROM 25-31 JULY 2021 AT THE NOAA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TRAINING CENTER IN KANSAS CITY MO. IN THE CASE OF CONTINUED COVID-19 RELATED RESTRICTIONS AMS IS PREPARED TO SWITCH TO THE VIRTUAL RESIDENCE MODEL THAT IT USED IN SUMMER 2020. PARTICIPANTS WILL BE COMPETITIVELY SELECTED USING A RUBRIC THAT CONSIDERS INSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP COMMUNITIES WITH SIGNIFICANT MINORITY POPULATIONS ESSAY RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS DESIGNED TO BE BROADLY INCLUSIVE RATHER THAN RELYING ON THE ACCUMULATION OF PAST PRIVILEGE IN RESUMES AND STRONG ADMINISTRATOR SUPPORT. PROJECT ATMOSPHERE IS A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE CONTENT CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM. SINCE 1992 MORE THAN 600 PEER TRAINERS HAVE ATTENDED PROJECT ATMOSPHERE. THE PROJECT ATMOSPHERE WORKSHOP FOCUSES ON GOVERNMENTAL SCIENTIFIC AND PROGRAMMATIC PRESENTERS GROUP WORK ON WEATHER MODULES AND FIELD EXPERIENCES. SUPPORT WILL ENABLE AMS TO INCREASE FOCUS ON WEATHER-BASED NATURAL DISASTERS RISK AND RESILIENCE USING NASA SATELLITE DATA RESOURCES DISTRIBUTED BY THE NASA EARTH SCIENCE DISASTERS PROGRAM AND AN EXPERT PROGRAM SCIENTIST IN THE WORKSHOP AGENDA. PROJECT EXTERNAL EVALUATION WILL HELP AMS ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BROADENING PROJECT ATMOSPHERE BY LEVERAGING NASA RESOURCES.
