Travel Grant to Present the Proposal Writing Tutorial for the NSF Workshop at the AIChE Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah

CBET-0801375标题：与2007年11月AIChE年会NSF研讨会研究提案写作相关的差旅费补助PI：James M Lee机构：华盛顿州立大学这是一项个人旅行补助金，为主要研究者（PI）提供资金，与NSF项目官员John Regalbuto博士合作，帮助准备一份报告，并参加将在犹他湖城举行的2007年AIChE年会上举行的NSF研讨会的“提案写作会”（2007年11月4日至9日）。在过去的25年里，化学，生物，环境和运输系统（CBET）的司已在AIChE年会上举办研讨会，介绍个人计划和NSF范围内的举措，解释组织变革，并提供机会，为项目总监和教师之间的互动交流。今年，CBET改变了研讨会的形式，包括“提案写作小组”和“NSF项目主任互动小组讨论会”。PI已被要求与NSF项目官员合作，帮助准备、提交和评估“提案写作指南”。“所要求的预算包括PI出席AIChE年会的差旅费，以及前往NSF进行讨论的差旅费，这些讨论导致会议前的演讲准备和会议后的评估。由于这是第一次将“提案写作指南”纳入研讨会，因此需要额外的努力来准备教程，以便将其用作未来演示文稿的模板。本教程的拟议主题是“成功的赠款写作策略”，暂定由三个主要部分组成：（1）更多地了解资助机构，项目官员，竞争对手和过程，（2）使提案具有竞争力，以及（3）采用跨学科和变革性研究的好处。这笔差旅费还将使PI能够与John Regalbuto博士一起在会议期间与NSF Hospitality Suit的教师进行个人研讨会预约。

CBET-0801375 Title: Travel Grant related to a Research Proposal Writing Tutorial for the NSF Workshop at the November 2007 AIChE Annual MeetingPI: James M LeeInstitution: Washington State UniversityThis is an individual travel grant that provides funds for the principal investigator (PI) to work with a NSF program officer, Dr. John Regalbuto, to help prepare a presentation and participate in the "Proposal Writing Tutorial" for the NSF Workshop to be held at the 2007 AIChE Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah (November 4-9, 2007). For over 25 years, the Division of Chemical, Biological, Environmental, and Transport System (CBET) has held workshops at the AIChE Annual Meeting to introduce individual programs and NSF-wide initiatives, explain organizational changes, and provide opportunities for interactive communication between program directors and faculty. This year, CBET has changed the workshop format to include the "Proposal Writing Tutorial," and "Interactive Breakout Panels of NSF Program Directors." The PI has been asked to work with a NSF program officer to help prepare, present, and evaluate a "Proposal Writing Tutorial." The requested budget includes travel expenses for the PI to attend the AIChE Annual Meeting and travel to NSF for discussions leading to the preparation of the presentation before the meeting and evaluation after the meeting. Since this is the first time the "Proposal Writing Tutorial" is included in the workshop, extra effort is required to prepare the tutorial, so that it can be used as a template for the future presentations. The proposed topic of the tutorial is "Strategies for Successful Grant Writing," which tentatively will be composed of three main parts: (1) Learning more about funding agencies, program officers, competitors, and the process, (2) Making a proposal competitive, and (3) The benefit of employing interdisciplinary and transformative research. This travel funding will also allow the PI to be available with Dr. John Regalbuto for individual Workshop appointments with faculty at the NSF Hospitality Suit during the meeting.
