This catalog of external and internal resources has been collected by the LNO staff and committees and continues to grow each month. Here you’ll find toolkits, references, reports, and videos. It can be filtered by topic, format, and primary audience.
From the Synthesis Skills for Early Career Researchers Course: In this module, we’ll dive into some of the literature underlying our recommended team science practices (the science of team science). We’ll also explore some of the more common types of conflicts that arise in synthesis work and ways to anticipate, prevent (when possible), and resolve those conflicts.

From the Synthesis Skills for Early Career Researchers course:
The success of a collaborative synthesis science project rests in no small part on the ability of the team of researchers to work effectively together and to draw on the full range of expertise, knowledge, and capacity in the group. Effective facilitation of team meetings can go a long way toward unlocking the group’s full potential. This module focuses on inclusive facilitation techniques to enable and encourage full, thoughtful, engaged participation during virtual and in person group meetings.

ADVANCEing FieldSafety Toolkit will be developed to include checklists, examples, fillable documents, and implementation guides that field teams can use to set codes of conduct, codes of ethics, surveys, reporting instruments, and structures to facilitate quick response in the field for different field contexts (e.g., undergraduate field campaign, ship-based research, tent-based field research). Each course module will have its unique Toolkit that will contain module-specific resources, such as the one mentioned above, and additional readings.

By analyzing data from nearly all US PhD recipients and their dissertations across three decades, this paper finds demographically underrepresented students innovate at higher rates than majority students, but their novel contributions are discounted and less likely to earn them academic positions. The discounting of minorities’ innovations may partly explain their underrepresentation in influential positions of academia.

The University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program was established in 1984 to encourage outstanding women and minority Ph.D. recipients to pursue academic careers at the University of California. The current program offers postdoctoral research fellowships, professional development and faculty mentoring to outstanding scholars in all fields whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity at UC.
