Workshop: American Society for Plant Biologists Laboratory Leadership Workshop to be held in Minneapolis, MN on August 4-6, 2011

智力优势：美国植物生物学家协会（ASPB）将为新的和潜在的pi举办一个实验室领导研讨会，提供在指导、网络、研究伦理、拨款写作、出版、教学和与公众接触方面成功所需的技能和方法培训。研讨会将于2011年8月4日至6日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市举行，就在ASPB年会之前。预计将有大约20名早期职业教师和50名博士后科学家参加。会议的形式将是邀请发言者发言和与会者讨论的结合。课程旨在为那些对研究密集型机构和主要本科院校的职业生涯感兴趣的人提供双轨专业发展。研讨会的重点内容将在即将出版的ASPB通讯中发表。更广泛的影响：该研讨会将汇集成熟的研究人员和早期职业科学家，目的是在传统的博士后培训路线通常不包括的领域提供培训。对网络的强调将允许参与者建立关系，这将持续超越研讨会本身。通过有针对性的广告和提供旅行补助金，对鼓励妇女和少数民族科学家的参与给予了认真的注意。

Intellectual Merit: The American Society for Plant Biologists (ASPB) will host a Laboratory Leadership Workshop for new and prospective PIs to provide training in skills and approaches required for success in mentoring, networking, research ethics, grant-writing, publication, teaching, and reaching out to the public. The workshop will be held August 4-6, 2011 in Minneapolis, MN just prior to the annual meeting of ASPB. Approximately 20 early-career faculty and 50 postdoctoral scientists are expected to attend. The format of the meeting will be a combination of presentations by invited speakers and discussion among participants. Sessions are aimed at dual-track professional development for those interested in careers in research-intensive institutions and in predominantly undergraduate institutions. Highlights of the workshop will be published in an upcoming ASPB newsletter. Broader Impacts: The workshop will bring together established investigators and early-career scientists with the aim of providing training in areas not usually encompassed by the traditional route of postdoctoral training. The emphasis on networking will have allow participants to build relationships that will last beyond the workshop itself. Careful attention has been paid to encouraging participation by women and minority scientists, through targeted advertising and availability of travel grants.
