2012 NSF CISE CAREER Workshop

CISE将于2012年3月30日在德雷塞尔大学举办为期一天的职业研讨会，由CISE的三个部门参加。会议议程包括国家科学基金会的领导和前职业奖获得者，他们分别就项目的目标和个人经历发表讲话。议程还包括模拟审查小组。这为与会者提供了美国国家科学基金会评审过程的第一手经验，并帮助他们了解评估标准，如智力价值、更广泛的影响和研究与教育的整合。在这些小组中，前CAREER奖获得者（来自IIS， CNS和CCF）将自愿提供他们过去的CAREER提案作为“案例研究”供讨论。这个职业研讨会聚集了100多名初级教师，其中约15%来自服务于代表性不足群体的学校（例如HSBUs和msi）。这样的工作室填补了一个重要的空白；许多初级教员与国家科学基金会几乎没有个人交往。因此，在议程之外，研讨会为这些年轻的研究人员提供了与NSF领导层和CISE社区同事建立联系的机会。研讨会的智力价值源于演讲，这些演讲让与会者深入了解潜在的变革性研究的例子，以及CAREER如何在塑造该领域中发挥关键作用。便利的地理位置凸显了研讨会更广泛的影响；德雷克塞尔大学的校园位于费城，各种交通工具都很方便，在城市半径300英里的范围内，有100多所授予博士学位的大学。

A one-day CISE-sponsored CAREER Workshop with participation from all three CISE Divisions will take place on March 30, 2012 at Drexel University. The agenda includes NSF leadership and former CAREER awardees who respectively speak on objectives and personal experiences with the program. The agenda also includes mock review panels. This gives attendees first-hand experience with the NSF review process and helps their understanding of evaluation criteria such as intellectual merit, broader impacts and the integration of research and education. For these panels, former CAREER awardees (from IIS, CNS, and CCF) will volunteer their past CAREER proposals as "case studies" for discussion. This CAREER Workshop gathers more than 100 junior faculty, including about 15% from schools that serve under-represented groups (e.g. HSBUs and MSIs). Such a workshop fills an important void; many junior faculty have little to no personal interactions with NSF. Thus, beyond the agenda, the workshop gives such young researchers opportunities to network with NSF leadership and colleagues from the CISE community. The workshop's intellectual merit stems from presentations that give attendees insight into examples of potentially transformative research and how CAREER played a critical role in shaping the field. The workshop's broader impact is underscored by a convenient location; Drexel's campus is based in Philadelphia, is easily accessible by all forms of transportation and, within a 300-mile radius of the city, there are more than 100 Ph.D.-granting universities.
