REU Site Director's Workshop, March 8-10, 2007

北亚利桑那大学提议为NSF REU现场项目主任组织一次研讨会。研讨会的议程将由一个指导委员会确定，该委员会由选定的目前受资助的REU场地项目主任组成。NAU的高级人员(戴安娜·安德森博士和艾米·惠普尔博士)将负责在活动的规划和实施方面提供领导。指导委员会将于2006年11月7日星期二在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿开会，起草议程并讨论成功实施PI会议的细节。会议计划于2007年3月8日至9日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的国家科学基金会总部举行。研讨会的目标是(1)分享改进个人项目实施的想法，包括招生、发展和跟踪，以及导师培训；(2)讨论项目成功的评估；(3)为NSF REU项目的未来改进提供建议。这些目标将通过专家的陈述和小组讨论、通过现场主任之间的讨论和联网机会以及通过提交给国家科学基金会的总结研讨会调查结果的最终报告来实现。

Northern Arizona University proposes to organize a workshop for NSF REU Site Program Directors. The agenda for the workshop will be determined by a steering committee consisting of selected currently funded REU Site Program Directors. Senior personnel at NAU (Drs. Diana Anderson and Amy Whipple) will be responsible for providing leadership in the planning and implementation of the activities. The steering committee will meet in Arlington, VA, on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, to draft an agenda and discuss details to successfully implement a PI meeting. The meeting is planned for March 8-9, 2007 at the National Science Foundation headquarters in Arlington, VA. The goals for the workshop are to (1) share ideas for improving individual program implementation including student recruitment, development and tracking, and mentor training; (2) discuss assessment of program success; and (3) provide recommendations for future improvements of the REU program at NSF. These goals will be accomplished through presentations and panel discussions by experts, through opportunties for discussion and networking among site directors, and through a final report to be submitted to NSF summarizing the workshop findings.
