NSF Ceramics Grantees Workshop and Website

非技术描述：该项目支持一个专注于主要研究人员（PI）专业发展的研讨会，这些研究人员拥有材料研究部陶瓷计划的国家科学基金会（NFS）赠款，并为该社区开发了一个网站。 研讨会的目的是：（1）教育PI关于NSF提案提交，审查，奖励和监督过程;（2）为陶瓷领域的研究人员提供一个合作和分享研究项目信息的环境;（3）改善研究成果的沟通;及（3）让私人执业律师参与讨论私人执业律师、专业团体及资助机构的角色及责任。此外，还将开发一个网站，更好地展示NSF资助的陶瓷研究人员和教育工作者的成就。技术研讨会：这个为期两天的研讨会将于2010年9月初在NSF总部举行。 将涵盖的主题包括：NSF审查过程;与行业学术联络（GOALI）的征集资助机会; NSF项目成就和报告要求;政府绩效结果法案（GPRA）亮点和新闻稿;以及PI，专业协会和NSF的角色和责任。 在研讨会结束时，将与与会者进行讨论和调查，为未来的PI会议提供信息。 由此产生的网站将把研究人员、其国家科学基金资助项目的摘要、出版物、新闻稿和其他重点链接在一起。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This project supports a workshop focused on the professional development of Principal Investigators (PIs) who have active National Science Foundation (NFS) grants from the Ceramics Program in the Division of Materials Research, and the development of a website for this community. The goals of workshop are to: (1) educate PIs about the NSF proposal submission, review, award and oversight processes; (2) provide an environment for researchers within the field of ceramics to collaborate and share information about their research projects; (3) improve communication about research accomplishments; and (3) engage PIs in discussions about the roles and responsibilities of PIs, professional societies and funding agencies. As well, a website will be developed that will better showcase the accomplishments of the NSF-funded researchers and educators in ceramics. TECHNICAL DETAILS: This two-day workshop will take place in early September 2010 at NSF Headquarters. Topics that will be covered include: the NSF review process; the solicitation Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI); NSF project accomplishments and reporting requirements; Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) highlights and press releases; and the roles and responsibilities of PIs, professional societies and NSF. At the end of the workshop, a discussion and survey will be conducted with the participants to inform future PI meetings. The resulting website will link together researchers, abstracts of their NSF-funded projects, publications, press releases and other highlights.
