This award will support Professional Development Courses that will take place during the upcoming winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The proposed activities include two half-day workshops, one two-hour seminar, and one career panel on the topics of; Effective Mentoring, Writing Effective Scientific Papers, the Effective Visual Communication of Data, and Making the most of Oral Presentations.The goal of the courses is to provide expert training in an array of non-scientific tasks that are crucial to the effectiveness of scientists and educators. Many astronomers have had little or no formal training in the topics that will be covered. For researchers that are also educators these courses will help in both aspects of their careers. The courses will also increase the effectiveness of the participants in these topics which will directly promote the progress of science. In particular, the courses will likely have a large impact on young investigators and participants from underrepresented groups. The courses will be professionally evaluated to assess the impact of the sessions.

该奖项将支持将在美国天文学会即将举行的冬季会议期间举行的专业发展课程。拟议的活动包括两个半天的研讨会，一个两小时的研讨会，和一个职业小组的主题;有效的指导，撰写有效的科学论文，有效的数据视觉交流，并充分利用口头陈述。课程的目标是提供专家培训，在一系列的非科学任务，是至关重要的科学家和教育工作者的有效性。许多天文学家很少或根本没有接受过有关本课程主题的正式培训。对于同时也是教育工作者的研究人员来说，这些课程将有助于他们职业生涯的两个方面。这些课程还将提高参与者在这些主题方面的效率，这将直接促进科学的进步。特别是，这些课程可能会对年轻的调查人员和代表性不足的群体的参与者产生很大影响。将对课程进行专业评价，以评估课程的影响。
