Supporting Activity for the NSF Minority Postdoctoral Fellows and the Compact for Faculty Development

这项行动资助多达80名NSF少数民族博士后研究员及其赞助科学家参加由教师多样性契约（高等教育新英格兰委员会，南部地区教育委员会和西部州际委员会高等教育之间的伙伴关系）赞助的年度国家教学和指导研究所。 《教师多样性契约》解决了高等院校少数民族教师代表性不足的严重和长期问题。 CFD在增加获得博士学位和进入教职的少数民族人数方面有着良好的记录。 教学和指导研究所为NSF少数民族研究员提供了一个机会，参加一个非常成功的论坛，学习教学和研究作为一种职业，网络，共享信息，职业定位，并确定榜样和导师。 该研究所将于2005年10月27日至30日在弗吉尼亚州的阿灵顿举行。

This action funds the participation of up to 80 NSF Minority Postdoctoral Fellows and their Sponsoring Scientists in the annual National Institute for Teaching and Mentoring sponsored by the Compact for Faculty Diversity (a partnership between the New England Board of Higher Education, the Southern Regional Education Board, and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education). The Compact for Faculty Diversity (CFD) addresses the serious and chronic problem of the under-representation of minority faculty in institutions of higher learning. CFD has a proven track record of increasing the number of minorities earning the doctorate and entering faculty positions. The Institute for Teaching and Mentoring provides an opportunity for NSF Minority Fellows to attend a highly successful forum for learning about teaching and research as a career, networking, sharing information, career positioning, and identifying role models and mentors. The Institute is being held October 27-30, 2005 in Arlington, Virginia.
