NOYCE Principal Investigators Garnering Useful Information on Developing [Project] Effectiveness (NOYCE PI GUIDE)

该项目正在确定和发展罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的主要研究者的技能，以提高他们在与项目目标相关的领域的核心知识的获得，项目管理的螺母和螺栓的关键技能（例如，管理人员、管理资金和管理运营）和改变领导（例如，在主要赞助者中建立和维持支持，预测和适应不断变化的业务条件，并在东道单位的核心业务范围内使项目活动制度化）。 这些技能组合对于更复杂的项目尤其重要。导师制是一个行之有效的学术战略，在教师内部建立这样的设置。本项目旨在探讨多对多的师友制度能否以电子方式有效推行。将实施的系统称为NOYCE主要研究者在发展[项目]有效性方面获得有用的指导（NOYCE PI指南）。基本假设是，有经验的PI可以与新手PI（和潜在PI）分享关键问题的答案以及指导策略，以显着帮助他们成功实现项目目标的能力。 该项目正在建立一个网站，其特点是：（a）非常短的录像片段和附带的文字记录，介绍从与有经验的NOYCE项目执行人员进行的访谈中得出的虚构情景，（B）至少10个有经验的NOYCE项目执行人员讨论这两个主题的录像短片，（c）一个适度的电子实践社区，在潜在的、新手和有经验的NOYCE项目执行人员之间建立同行指导网络。

This project is identifying and developing the skill sets of Principal Investigators in the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program to enhance their acquisition of core knowledge in areas relevant to their project's goals, key skills in the nuts and bolts of project management (e.g., managing people, managing funds, and managing operations) and change leadership (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). These skill sets are especially critical for more complex projects. Mentorship is a well established academic strategy for building such sets within faculty. This project seeks to explore whether a many-to-many mentorship system can be effectively implemented using electronic means. The system to be implemented is called the NOYCE Principal Investigators Garnering Useful Instruction in Developing [Project] Effectiveness (NOYCE PI GUIDE). The fundamental assumption is that there are answers to key questions as well as guiding strategies that experienced PIs can share with novice PIs (and potential PIs) to significantly aid their ability to successfully achieve the goals of their projects. The project is establishing a web site that features: (a) very short filmed segments and accompanying transcripts introducing fictionalized scenarios derived from interviews conducted with experienced NOYCE PIs, (b) at least 10 short video segments of the experienced NOYCE PIs discussing these two topics, and (c) a moderated electronic community of practice to build peer mentoring networks among would-be, novice and experienced NOYCE PIs.
