Postdoc Network Annual Policy Meeting; Berkeley, CA, March 15-17, 2003

这一行动为将于2003年3月15日至3月17日在加州大学伯克利分校举行的全国博士后网络第三次年会提供资金。几份国家报告，包括1997年的CPST博士后和职业前景状况报告，AAU博士后教育委员会报告(1998)，国家科学院博士后COSEPUP指南(2000)和NRC国家需求报告(2000)，清楚地阐明了许多博士后科学家在美国研究企业的可怕情况。许多研究还为旨在改善博士后体验的政策和项目提供了建议。然而，一些问题仍然没有得到解决：情况正在改善吗？各机构正在做些什么来解决这些问题？如何在其他机构认可和实施最好的方法？考虑到这一点，博士后网络组织了它的第三次全国会议，讨论博士后政策和项目。受邀者包括博士后、首席研究人员、导师、研究管理人员以及来自科学协会和资助机构的代表。演讲者代表了博士后政策利益相关者舞台上的各个阶层。全国博士后政策改革的努力将是第一天会议的焦点。在第二天，加州大学系统将作为一个案例研究，以审查正在进行的努力，以改善影响博士后的机构政策。还提供了一个关于领导力和团队建设技能的分两部分的研讨会。

This action funds the third annual meeting of the National Postdoc Network to be held at the University of California at Berkeley from March 15 through March 17, 2003. Several national reports, among them the CPST Postdocs and Career Prospects Status Report in 1997, AAU Committee on Postdoctoral Education Report (1998), the National Academies' COSEPUP Guide for Postdocs (2000), and the NRC National Needs Report (2000), have clearly elucidated the dire circumstances of many postdoctoral scientists in the U.S. research enterprise. Many studies have also offered suggestions for policies and programs aimed at improving the postdoctoral experience. However, a number of questions remain unaddressed: Are conditions improving? What are institutions doing to address the issues? How can the best approaches be recognized and implemented at other institutions?With this in mind, the Postdoc Network has organized its third national meeting to discuss postdoctoral policies and programs. Invitees include postdocs, principal investigators, mentors, research administrators, and representatives from scientific societies and funding agencies. Speakers represent a cross section of the postdoc policy stakeholder arena. National efforts at postdoc policy reform will be the focus of the first day of the meeting. On the second day, the University of California system will serve as a case study for examining ongoing efforts to improve institutional policies affecting postdocs. Also offered is a two-part workshop on leadership and teambuilding skills.
