Michigan State University (MSU) will establish a Center for Academic and Future Faculty Excellence (CAFFE). The purpose of the Center is to coordinate and integrate existing programmatic activities to train and prepare a U. S. workforce of future faculty for academic excellence and success in the tenure streams of colleges and universities. The approach of this I3 proposal aims to coordinate the efforts of multiple offices and programs at Michigan State University to optimize the development, in graduate and undergraduate students, post-doctoral scientists and junior faculty, of skills, attitudes, values and behaviors essential for smooth transitions across critical educational stages, and for success in an academic careers. There are new and rapidly changing demands and expectations for new faculty. These demands and expectations include, among others, effective pedagogy, skills in the managing and supervision of technical personnel and support staff, grant writing, and the responsible conduct of research. The establishment of the CAFFE would be a landmark step in providing a venue for the preparation of young scholars in a fashion complementary to their disciplinary professional development and aligned with what they will face as they join the academic workforce. Our plan for the delivering of the curriculum of CAFFE is guided by the appreciation that at all stages considered here, professional development takes place in an intimate disciplinary environment. Thus our approach, in contrast to a central or universal prescription of workshops and other activities, will involve a collaboration of the leadership of CAFFE with those responsible for the mentoring and education of developing scholars. Our goal is for an integration of what CAFFE offers with individualized professional and disciplinary development plans. Our approach also acknowledges that the need for particular skills and information often arises at different stages of professional development and that many activities of CAFFE would include concurrent participation of students, post-docs and faculty; we see this feature as an opportunity to enhance the flow of information across different cohorts and as the foundation for inter-generational mentoring.Center for Academic and Future Faculty Exchange (CAFFE) brings together NSF/EHR awards from the ADVANCE and AGEP programs, as well as other work, around the I3 integrative themes for broadening participation and critical educational junctures.

密歇根州立大学（MSU）将建立学术和未来教师卓越中心（CAFFE）。该中心的目的是协调和整合现有的方案活动，以培训和准备一个美国的。S.未来的教师队伍的学术卓越和成功的终身教职流的学院和大学。 该I3提案的方法旨在协调密歇根州立大学的多个办公室和项目的努力，以优化研究生和本科生、博士后科学家和初级教师的技能、态度、价值观和行为的发展，这些技能、态度、价值观和行为对于关键教育阶段的顺利过渡以及学术生涯的成功至关重要。有新的和迅速变化的需求和新的教师的期望。这些要求和期望包括，除其他外，有效的教学，技术人员和支持人员的管理和监督技能，赠款写作，以及负责任的研究行为。CAFFE的建立将是一个具有里程碑意义的步骤，为年轻学者提供一个准备场所，以补充他们的学科专业发展，并与他们加入学术队伍时将面临的问题保持一致。我们的CAFFE课程的交付计划是由赞赏，在这里考虑的所有阶段，专业发展发生在一个亲密的学科环境的指导。因此，我们的方法，与中央或普遍规定的讲习班和其他活动相比，将涉及CAFFE的领导与那些负责指导和教育发展中学者的人的合作。我们的目标是将CAFFE提供的服务与个性化的专业和学科发展计划相结合。我们的方法还承认，对特定技能和信息的需求往往出现在专业发展的不同阶段，CAFFE的许多活动将包括学生，博士后和教师的共同参与;我们认为这一功能是一个加强不同群体之间信息流动的机会，也是代际指导的基础。学术和未来教师交流中心（CAFFE）汇集了来自ADVANCE和AGEP计划的NSF/EHR奖项，以及其他工作，围绕I3综合主题，以扩大参与和关键教育结合点。
