EPSCoR 2020 Workshop

该奖项为2006年6月15日至16日在华盛顿特区召开EPSCoR 2020研讨会提供资金，主要目的是确定未来11-20年NSF EPSCoR的长期目标和关键战略。研讨会为代表EPSCoR州和司法管辖区的参与者提供了一个论坛，与国家STEM领导人进行对话，以评估和确定过去投资的影响，并解决研究基础设施活动，这些活动将使EPSCoR州的科学家和工程师能够在新兴的NSF项目领域中竞争。预计本次研讨会将有助于基金会为国家科学基金会EPSCoR建立一个新的愿景，与会者将就EPSCoR在科技事业发展中的作用和贡献分享不同的观点，并促进国家科学基金会在提高国家研究能力方面的努力。

This award provides funds to convene an EPSCoR 2020 Workshop on June 15-16, 2006, in Washington, DC, with the primary objective of identifying long-term goals and key strategies that will define NSF EPSCoR over the next 11-20 years. The workshop provides a forum for participants, representing EPSCoR states and jurisdictions, to dialogue with national STEM leaders to evaluate and determine the impact of past investments and address research infrastructure activities that will position scientists and engineers in EPSCoR states to compete for emerging NSF programmatic areas. It is anticipated that the workshop will assist the Foundation in the creation of a new vision for NSF EPSCoR, as participants share diverse perspectives on EPSCoR's role in and contribution to the advancement of the science and technology enterprise, as well as facilitate NSF's efforts in enhancing the national research capacity of the country.
