NSF EPSCoR Water Dynamics Workshop, November 2008, Burlington, VT

该提案寻求NSF的支持，以研讨会的形式将NSF EPSCoR辖区的科学家、工程师、资源经理和政策制定者聚集在一起。研讨会的目标包括：(I)在NSF EPSCoR辖区之间分享水资源问题(管理、政策)的性质以及NSF EPSCoR辖区内最先进的水资源研究(科学)方面的信息；(Ii)为研究人员、管理者和政策制定者探索合作和外联战略；以及(Iii)在NSF EPSCoR辖区内确定与科学家和工程师的专业知识保持一致的水动力学研究支持的机会，以提高资金竞争力。研讨会的演讲者将重点介绍和分享关于水动力学新出现的科学创新的想法。这些演讲和海报演示将介绍新的研究，重点是考察水系统变化的动态，以及科学家和工程师可以用来记录和模拟这些变化的新研究工具。研讨会旨在加强国家科学基金会EPSCoR研究人员之间的合作，从而加强国家S的研究能力。研讨会参与者将讨论研究与水资源管理和政策的相关性。演讲者将重点介绍STEM教育外展和通过基于社区的研究发展劳动力的机会。将探讨水文系统的社会动态，以及使水资源研究人员和学生的多样性与国家人口统计相一致的战略，使所有司法管辖区和特殊人口参与我们的国家研究任务。

The proposal seeks NSF support to bring together scientists, engineers, resource managers and policy makers across NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions in a workshop format. The objectives for the workshop include (i) sharing information among NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions on the nature of water resources issues (management, policy) and the state-of-the-art in research (science) on water in the NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions, (ii) exploration of collaboration and outreach strategies for researchers, managers and policy makers, and (iii) identification of opportunities across NSF directorates for research support in water dynamics that will align with the expertise of scientists and engineers in NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions in order to improve funding competitiveness. Workshop speakers will highlight and share ideas on emerging scientific innovations in water dynamics. These talks and poster presentations will profile new studies that focus on examining the dynamics of change in water systems and new research tools available to scientists and engineers to document and model these changes. The workshop is specifically designed to build collaborations among NSF EPSCoR researchers, thereby strengthening the nation?s research capacity.Workshop participants will address the relevance of research to water resource management and policy. Speakers will highlight the opportunities for STEM educational outreach and workforce development through community based research. The social dynamics of the hydrological systems will be explored, as will strategies for bringing the diversity of water researchers and students in line with national demographics, engaging all jurisdictions and special populations in our national research mission.
