Workshop on Improving Education in the Social, Behavorial, and Economic Sciences: A National Dialogue, June 12-13, 2003

该奖项提供资金，使美国教育研究协会提供科学和技术援助的社会，行为和经济科学理事会（SBE），以支持理事会的目标，制定一项行动计划，教育改善和人力资源开发的社会和行为科学。 这项工作的目标是协助国家科学基金会规划和实施国家讲习班，主持该讲习班，使国家科学基金会能够接受外部科学界的建议，并编写一份报告提交给理事会。 该报告将采取行动计划和建议的形式，可供基金会用于评估需求、确定优先事项，并采取具体措施，推进这些科学的知识，确保有足够的研究人员人才库，以应对社会和行为科学领域的挑战。人们越来越认识到SBE科学在“科学大家庭”中的价值和作用。解决我们作为一个国家所面临的最重大的挑战。 随着对我们知识的需要和需求的增加，我们必须进行投资，以确保人才库和人力资源都足够并准备好承担这项重要工作。 国家科学基金会制定了一个关于人类和社会动态的新的优先领域，以满足这些需求。 预计这次讲习班将有助于推动这一举措。

This award provides funds to enable the American Educational Research Association to provide scientific and technical assistance to the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (SBE) in support of the Directorate's objective to develop a plan of action regarding educational improvement and human resource development in the social and behavioral sciences. The objective of the work is to assist the National Science Foundation in the planning and implementation of a National Workshop, to chair that Workshop to allow NSF to receive the advice of the external scientific community, and to prepare a report to the Directorate. The report will be in the form of a plan of action and recommendation that can be used by the Foundation in assessing needs, setting priorities, and arriving at concrete steps to advance knowledge in these sciences and ensure an adequate talent pool of researchers to meet the challenges in social and behavioral science fields.There has been increasing recognition of the value and role of the SBE sciences in the "family of science" for addressing the most significant challenges that we face as a nation. As need and demand for our knowledge increases, we must invest in ensuring that the talent pool and human capacity are both sufficient and prepared to undertake this important work. NSF has developed a new priority area on Human and Social Dynamics to address these needs. It is anticipated that this workshop will help advance this initiative.
