This project addresses the challenge of educating scientists and engineers in the professional and personal communication skills they need to meet career demands of the 21st century. The intention of the project is to address one of the nation's central concerns; the ability of scientists to engage in policy-critical communication about their work; work that is critical to the health and well being of U.S. society. Experts in communication, the rhetoric of science, instructional development, and training will work collaboratively with scientists and engineers in two areas of concern previously identified by the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy as well as others in the science community (1995);1. Scientists and engineers; ability to communicate among themselves interpersonally and in teams, and their ability to solve problems and work across scientific and other disciplines.2. Scientists and engineers; ability to communicate about science to larger audiences with an emphasis on lay and public constituencies and non-scientists.The two challenges will be addressed by the accomplishment of two short term objectives and one long term goal: A first short term objective is producing curriculum recommendations for the communication training of scientists and engineers; A second short term objective is developing a proposal for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Graduate Education to:1. articulate a new set of priorities and approaches to address the most effective and appropriate ways of communicating about science; and,2. produce and disseminate communication training resources for aspiring (graduate and post-doctoral) scientists and engineers.A long term and perhaps some intrinsic goal is forming critical partnerships and building a foundation for future relationships between the communication discipline and scientists and engineers to work collaboratively on challenges in communicating about scienceThese activities will begin with a briefing meeting to be held in November 2001 at the NCA national convention. A facilitated workshop will follow in Winter/Spring 2002 that will produce curriculum recommendations and a plan for a full grant proposal to explore possibilities for creating new communities of communication colleagues and scientists. Following the spring workshop and within the 2002 calendar year, the full grant proposal will be submitted to NSF. The proposal will focus on furthering the development of collaborative relationships between communication and science and developing training resources of various sorts to implement the curriculum recommendations. The proposal will also address the dissemination of the curriculum recommendations and training resources.

该项目解决了教育科学家和工程师的专业和个人沟通技能，他们需要满足21世纪世纪的职业需求的挑战。 该项目的目的是解决国家的核心问题之一;科学家参与有关其工作的政策关键沟通的能力;对美国社会的健康和福祉至关重要的工作。 专家在通信，科学，教学发展和培训的修辞将与科学家和工程师在两个领域的合作，以前确定的科学，工程和公共政策委员会以及其他科学界（1995年）;1。科学家和工程师;有能力在人际和团队中进行沟通，有能力解决问题，并在科学和其他学科中工作。科学家和工程师;将通过实现两个短期目标和一个长期目标来应对这两个挑战：第一个短期目标是为科学家和工程师的传播培训提出课程建议;第二个短期目标是为国家科学基金会（NSF）研究生教育部制定一项提案，以：1。阐明一套新的优先事项和方法，以解决传播科学的最有效和最适当的方式;以及，2.制作和传播通信培训资源，（研究生和博士后）科学家和工程师。一个长期的，也许是一些内在的目标是形成关键的伙伴关系，并为传播学科与科学家和工程师之间的未来关系奠定基础，以合作应对传播科学方面的挑战。NCA全国大会。 随后将在2002年冬/春举办一个促进讲习班，提出课程建议和全额赠款计划，以探讨建立新的通信同事和科学家社区的可能性。 在春季研讨会之后，在2002日历年内，将向NSF提交完整的赠款提案。 该提案将侧重于进一步发展传播与科学之间的合作关系，并开发各种培训资源，以实施课程建议。 该提案还将涉及课程建议和培训资源的传播。
