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年会上NSF研讨会研究计划书写作教程相关的旅行补助金PI：James M Lee Institution：华盛顿州大学这是一项个人旅行补助金，为首席研究员(PI)提供资金，与NSF项目官员John Regalbuto博士合作，帮助准备演示文稿并参加将在犹他州盐湖城举行的2007年AIChE年会(2007年11月4-9日)的NSF研讨会的“计划书写作教程”。25年来，化学、生物、环境和运输系统部门(CBET)一直在AIChE年会上举办研讨会，介绍个别项目和NSF范围内的倡议，解释组织变革，并为项目主任和教职员工提供互动交流的机会。今年，CBET改变了研讨会的形式，增加了“提案写作教程”和“NSF项目主管的互动分组讨论”。PI已经被要求与NSF的一名项目官员合作，帮助准备、展示和评估一份“提案写作教程”。请拨的预算包括主计长出席AIChE年会和前往国家科学基金会参加讨论的旅费，以便在会前准备演示文稿和会后评价。由于这是“计划书写作教程”第一次被包括在研讨会中，因此需要额外的努力来准备教程，以便它可以作为未来演示文稿的模板。该教程的拟议主题是“成功撰写助学金的策略”，暂时将由三个主要部分组成：(1)了解更多关于资助机构、项目官员、竞争者和过程的知识，(2)使提案具有竞争力，以及(3)使用跨学科和变革性研究的好处。这笔旅行资金还将允许PI与John Regalbuto博士一起在会议期间与NSF酒店西装的教员进行个别研讨会约会。

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.
