2012 NSF Ceramic Grantees Workshop, June 13-14, Arlington VA

非技术描述：该项目支持一个专注于专业发展和首席研究员（pi）网络的研讨会，这些首席研究员（pi）由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）资助，来自材料研究部门的陶瓷项目。研讨会的目标是：(1)教育项目负责人了解NSF的提案提交、评审、奖励、监督和管理流程；(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)加强科研成果的交流；(4)解决本领域的关键问题；(5)让pi参与讨论，以改进流程，帮助美国陶瓷学会（ACerS）和美国国家科学基金会提高陶瓷研究的有效性。此外，ACerS将继续为这个社区开发网站（http://ceramics.org/knowledge-center/national-science-foundation/），展示nsf资助的陶瓷研究人员和教育工作者的成就。具体来说，这个网站将研究人员、他们的nsf资助项目的摘要、出版物、新闻稿和其他亮点链接在一起。技术细节：为期两天的研讨会将于2012年6月13日至14日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。每位参加者将以口头及海报形式介绍他们的研究及教育活动。工作坊的核心部分包括撰写有效亮点的课程；报告要求;在提案审查中发表意见；关于NSF评审和资助机会的新闻；材料基因组计划；在美国的设施、仪器和合作；美国的竞争力和创新能力；扩大参与;研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP）。此外，一个额外的讨论主题将侧重于私人投资机构、专业协会和政府机构的作用和责任。研讨会后的教程将涵盖：NSF提案提交的各个方面。2012年会议的网址在此列表中：http://ceramics.org/meetings/event-calendar。2011年陶瓷PI工作坊网站：http://ceramics.org/knowledge-center/national-science-foundation/nsf-ceramic-materials-pi-workshop-2011-archive和2010年陶瓷PI工作坊网站：http://ceramics.org/meetings/meetings-archives/nsf-ceramic-materials-pi-workshop-archive。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This project supports a workshop focused on the professional development and networking of Principal Investigators (PIs) who have active National Science Foundation (NSF) grants from the Ceramics Program in the Division of Materials Research. The goals of workshop are to: (1) educate PIs about the NSF proposal submission, review, award, oversight and management 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; (4) address key issues in the field; and (5) engage PIs in discussions to improve processes to help the American Ceramic Society (ACerS) and NSF increase the effectiveness of ceramics research. As well, ACerS will continue to develop the website for this community (http://ceramics.org/knowledge-center/national-science-foundation/) that showcases the accomplishments of the NSF-funded researchers and educators in ceramics. Specifically, this website links together researchers, abstracts of their NSF-funded projects, publications, press releases and other highlights. TECHNICAL DETAILS: This two-day workshop will take place June 13-14, 2012 in Arlington, Virginia. Each participant will provide both an oral and poster presentation highlighting their research and education activities. The core part of the workshop includes sessions about writing effective highlights; reporting requirements; delivering your opinion in proposal reviews; news about NSF merit review and funding opportunities; the Materials Genome Initiative; facilities, instrumentation and cooperation in the USA; American competitiveness and innovation; broadening participation; and the Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP). As well, an additional discussion topic will focus on the roles and responsibilities of PIs, professional societies and government agencies. A post-workshop tutorial will cover: aspects of NSF proposal submissions.The website for the 2012 meeting will be found on this list: http://ceramics.org/meetings/event-calendar.
