Conference: What They Never Taught You In Graduate School: Leadership Skills for Scientists to be held in Washington, D.C., December 13-17, 1997.

9728940科恩：这是一笔赠款，用于资助美国细胞生物学学会将于1997年12月13日在华盛顿举行的第37届年会上举办的第二期为期4小时的“科学家的管理技能”研讨会。虽然科学家在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，他们往往会感到困惑。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，许多科学家只专注于项目的技术问题。虽然在这种情况下可能会实现良好的科学，但这一提议的前提是，熟悉简单的管理和团队建设技能可以提高研究团队的表现。工作坊将由教学和体验两部分组成。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进行说明。研讨会的主题是，如果科学工作团队的表现是最佳的，那么现在花在优秀科研项目上的资金可能会得到更有效的利用。从这个意义上说，研讨会通过为科学家提供一套新的工具来帮助提高生产力、交流和学习，直接支持国家科学基金会的科学使命。

9728940 Cohen This is a grant for partial support of the second annual offering of a four-hour Workshop on "Management Skills for Scientists," to be held at the 37th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in Washington DC, on December 13, 1997. 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.
