Collaborative Research: Linking Researchers and Graduate Students through COSEE Tools & Services

该提案将使用2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）提供的资金进行奖励。该奖项为举办旨在改善科学家更广泛影响的研讨会提供资金。 通过专业发展研讨会，科学家研究生团队将产生互动材料的基础上？海洋文学？然后呢？气候扫盲？这些原则可以专门为各种受众设计。该项目的主要目标受众是参加项目研讨会的研究科学家和研究生。该项目将通过团队建设和COSEE促进的长期接触，提供持续的专业发展培训机会，使研究人员和研究生等非专业受众对教学内容有更深的理解和/或信心。第二类受众是将受益于项目产出的在线用户：即作为这项工作的一部分而开发的交互式海洋气候内容和以用户为中心的数据工具。目标受众的学习和互动数据将由参与的COSEE中心收集和评估。这些评估结果将用于完善整个项目的方法、研讨会模型和由此产生的在线产品。

This proposal will be awarded using funds made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award provides funds to conduct workshops aimed at improving the broader impacts efforts of scientists. Through professional development workshops, scientist-graduate student teams will produce interactive materials based on the ?Ocean Literacy? and ?Climate Literacy? principles that can be specifically designed for a variety of audiences. The primary target audiences for this project are the research scientists and graduate students who participate in the project workshops. Through team-building and COSEE-facilitated long-term contact, the project will provide sustained professional development training opportunities that result in deeper content understanding and/or confidence in teaching to lay audiences, for researchers and graduate students alike. The secondary audience is on-line users who will benefit from the project outputs: namely the interactive ocean-climate content and user-centered data tools developed as part of this effort. Learning and interaction data of target audiences will be collected and evaluated by participating COSEE Centers. These evaluation results will be used to refine the approach, workshop model, and resulting online products throughout the project.
