America's Academic Future: An Action Agenda for 2010

该提案的目标是启动一个总体项目的第一部分，以制定一个行动议程，以促进国家实施最近的总统青年研究员（PYI）座谈会报告“美国的学术未来”的主要愿景。2010年的行动议程将通过两项相互关联的努力来制定。首先，将举行一系列五个相互关联的讨论会和数据收集活动，重点是制定具体的战略、模式和机制，以(a)平等地承认工程、数学和科学教师的教学奖学金、公共服务和卓越研究；(b)大幅增加教学创新和课程更新的资源，特别是本科教学。第二，(a)将在过去和现在的pyi，以及未来的NSF青年研究员和院长研究员之间建立一个网络，他们致力于为所有学生提供高质量的教育，并增加社会各阶层在工程、数学和科学领域的职业参与；以及(b)将对PYI人口进行人种学研究，以评估其目前对高等教育的未来影响，并获得对未来国家科学基金规划有用的见解。

The objectives of this proposal is to initiate the first part of an overall project to develop an action agenda to foster national implementation of the principal vision of the recent Presidential Young Investigator (PYI) Colloquium report, America's Academic Future. An action agenda for 2010 will be developed through two, inter-related efforts. First, a series of five inter-connected colloquia, and data gathering activities, will be held that focus on developing specific strategies, models, and mechanisms to (a) recognize co-equally the instructional scholarship, public service, and research excellence of engineering, mathematics, and science faculty, and (b) increase substantially resources for instructional innovation and curriculum renewal, especially for undergraduate instruction. Second, (a) a network will be developed among the past and present PYIs, and future NSF Young Investigators and Presidential Faculty Fellows, who are committed to providing a high-quality education for all students and increased career participation in engineering, mathematics, and science by all segments of society, and (b) an ethnographic study will be conducted of the PYI population to assess its current future impact on higher education and to gain insights useful for future NSF programming.
