This project is exploring a "many-to-many" peer mentorship scheme that makes explicit the tacit knowledge within the ATE project director community using a combination of in-person and electronic means. The project is actively engaging the community of experienced ATE PIs in reflecting on what guidance would have proven most helpful to them when they were starting out, and providing a persistent resource for new ATE PIs. In particular, key skills in the nuts and bolts of project management (e.g., managing people, managing funds, and managing operations), and change management (e.g., building and sustaining support among key constituencies, anticipating and adjusting to changing operational conditions, and institutionalizing the project's activities within the core operations of host units) are explored as being required for optimal implementation of complex projects. The project is developing a web site that features: (a) at least 10 short video segments of the experienced PIs discussing these two topics, (b) written case studies, and (c) a moderated electronic community of practice to build peer mentoring networks among novice and experienced PIs. It is expected that these tools will also be useful to prospective PIs and those recently declined for awards. The variety of materials to be offered on the site (text and video) can be expected to appeal to a variety of learning styles.

该项目正在探索一种“多对多”的同行指导计划，通过面对面和电子手段相结合，明确ATE项目主管社区内的隐性知识。该项目正在积极参与有经验的ATE PI社区，以反映在他们开始时哪些指南对他们最有帮助，并为新的ATE PI提供持久的资源。特别是，项目管理的基本技能（例如，管理人员、管理资金和管理操作），以及变更管理（例如，建立和维持主要赞助者的支持，预测和适应不断变化的业务条件，以及在东道单位的核心业务范围内使项目活动制度化，这些都是优化复杂项目的执行所必需的。该项目正在开发一个网站，其特点是：（a）至少有10个有经验的专业人员讨论这两个专题的录像短片，（B）书面案例研究，（c）一个有节制的电子实践社区，在新手和有经验的专业人员之间建立同侪指导网络。预计这些工具也将对潜在的PI和最近拒绝授予的PI有用。网站上提供的各种材料（文本和视频）预计将吸引各种学习方式。
