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

学术价值：美国植物生物学家协会(ASPB)将为新的和未来的植物生物学家举办一次实验室领导力研讨会，以提供在指导、网络、研究伦理、拨款、出版、教学和接触公众方面取得成功所需的技能和方法方面的培训。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举行，就在ASPB年会之前。预计将有大约20名职业早期教师和50名博士后科学家参加。会议的形式将是特邀发言者的发言和与会者之间的讨论。课程旨在为那些对在研究密集型机构和以本科生为主的机构就业感兴趣的人提供双轨职业发展。研讨会的要点将刊登在即将出版的ASPB时事通讯上。更广泛的影响：讲习班将汇集资深研究人员和初出茅庐的科学家，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。对网络的重视将使参与者能够建立持续时间超过研讨会本身的关系。已认真注意通过有针对性的广告和提供旅行补助金来鼓励妇女和少数族裔科学家的参与。

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.
