N1 - Funding Information: We are grateful to all of the AGeS review panels for their substantial time and energy invested in the proposal evaluation process. AGeS3 is supported by NSF Frontier Research in Earth Science awards EAR-2218547, -2218544, -2218504 to R.M. Flowers, J.R. Arrowsmith, V. McConnell, and L. Ar-thurs. AGeS2 was supported by NSF EAR-1759200, -1759353, -1759201 awards to R.M. Flowers, J.R. Arrowsmith, and V. McConnell. AGeS1 was supported by awards EAR-1358514, -1358554, -1358401, -1358443 to R.M. Flowers, J.R. Arrowsmith, T. Rittenour, B. Schoene, and J.R. Metcalf. Funding Information: AGeS3 expands and adapts the successful model used by the AGeS (Awards for Geochronology Student) research program (Flowers et al., 2019). The AGeS program was created as a collaborative strategy to address needs articulated in the 2012 NRC report “New Research Opportunities in the Earth Sciences” (NRC, 2012) to expand access to geochronology data and training. AGeS has accomplished this through a competitive graduate student micro-support program supported by two NSF awards (AGeS1 and AGeS2). Each year this funding opportunity has provided a concrete deadline to motivate new connections between geochronology data users and experts to discuss and tune ideas for cross-disciplinary research. Through this process, hundreds have been involved in AGeS proposals (Fig. 2). AGeS1 and AGeS2 count 87 abstracts; 30 peer-review articles published, in review, or in substantial preparation; and many other presentations and products. The AGeS program has also developed a loose consortium of 63 U.S. partner labs and >100 affiliated geochronologists, consisting mostly of individual-investigator based facilities that contain the majority of the geochronology technical infrastructure distributed across the U.S. The list of partner labs on the AGeS website continues to offer a key informational resource to connect geochronology data consumers and producers. For each lab, information about instrumentation, training, sample preparation, analysis, analytical rates, and contact personnel is provided. The successful trajectory of this micro-award program will continue in AGeS3 through the AGeS-Grad activity.
