The full and effective engagement of junior faculty at minority-serving institutions in NSF funded research remains a challenge. As NSF moves forward with development and deployment of environmental observing system infrastructure, the need and opportunity for such faculty participation is increased. This award will provide a multifaceted approach to effective and ongoing education and mentoring of junior faculty (five years or less at these institutions), to assist them in remaining competitive and productive researchers and assure they are fully aware of NSF funding opportunities, proposal and review processes, and education and training opportunities. Building on its previous successful workshops for engaging junior faculty at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), the Science and Engineering Alliance, Inc., (SEA) will conduct a series of grant proposal development workshops for junior faculty at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) to enhance their knowledge of NSF's proposal, review, and award processes. A unique aspect of the award is the establishment of campus communities of scholars, each of which is to be composed of established researchers, experienced administrators, institutional points of contact (POCs) and workshop participants to provide a support network within and among institutions to nurture and mentor the young faculty. Additional communication, mentoring support and follow up with attendees will be provided through project email and a project website.

少数族裔服务机构的初级教员充分和有效地参与NSF资助的研究仍然是一个挑战。随着NSF在开发和部署环境观测系统基础设施方面取得进展，这种教师参与的需求和机会也在增加。该奖项将为初级教师(在这些机构工作五年或更短时间)提供有效和持续的教育和指导的多方面方法，以帮助他们保持竞争力和生产力，并确保他们充分意识到NSF的资助机会、提案和审查过程以及教育和培训机会。科学与工程联盟(SEA)在之前成功举办了吸引黑人学院和大学(HBCU)、西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)和部落学院和大学(TCU)初级教员的研讨会的基础上，将为少数族裔服务机构(MSI)的初级教员举办一系列赠款提案开发研讨会，以增强他们对NSF提案、审查和奖励程序的了解。该奖项的一个独特之处是建立了校园学者社区，每个社区将由知名研究人员、经验丰富的管理人员、机构联络点(POC)和研讨会参与者组成，以在机构内部和机构之间提供支持网络，以培养和指导年轻教师。将通过项目电子邮件和项目网站提供额外的沟通、指导支持和与与会者的后续行动。
