Workshop on Management Skills for Scientists to be held December 7, 1996 at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco, CA

小行星9634040 这是一笔赠款，用于部分支持将于1996年12月7日在加利福尼亚州旧金山弗朗西斯科举行的美国细胞生物学学会第36届年会上举行的关于“科学家管理技能”的四小时讲习班。 虽然科学家在其特定学科中接受了广泛的技术培训，但当他们被置于领导研究团队的位置时，他们往往会发现自己不知所措。 由于缺乏解决冲突、理解和引导动机以及培养团队方法所需的技能，许多科学家只关注项目的技术问题。 虽然在这种情况下可能会完成良好的科学，但这一建议的前提是熟悉简单的管理和团队建设技能可以提高研究团队的绩效。 讲习班将包括教学和体验两部分。 将讨论团队建设和管理的原则，并通过实例和研讨会参与者的经验加以说明。 研讨会的主题是，如果科学工作团队的绩效达到最佳水平，目前用于优秀科研项目的资金可能会得到更有效的利用。 从这个意义上说，研讨会直接支持NSF的科学使命，为科学家提供一套新的工具，以帮助提高生产力，沟通和学习。 ***

9634040 Cohen This is a grant for partial support of a four-hour Workshop on "Management Skills for Scientists," to be held at the 36th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco, CA, on December 7, 1996. While scientists receive extensive technical training in their specific disciplines, they often find themselves at a loss when placed in a position of leading a research team. Lacking the skills required to resolve conflicts, understand and channel motivation and foster a team approach, many scientists focus exclusively on the technical issues of a project. While good science may be accomplished under such circumstances, the premise of this proposal is that familiarity with simple management and team building skills can improve the performance of research teams. The workshop will consist of both a didactic and an experiential component. The principles of team building and management will be discussed and illustrated by examples and by workshop participant experiences. The thesis of the workshop is that the funds which are now spent on outstanding scientific research projects might be more effectively used if scientific work team performance were optimal. In this sense, the workshop directly supports the scientific mission of the NSF by providing scientists with a new set of tools to help improve productivity, communication and learning. ***
