2012 NSF CISE CAREER Workshop

为期一天的职业研讨会将于2012年3月30日在德雷克塞尔大学举行，所有三个部门都将参加。议程包括NSF领导层和前职业获奖者，他们分别就该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。这为与会者提供了对NSF审查过程的第一手经验，并有助于他们了解评估标准，如智力优势、更广泛的影响以及研究和教育的整合。对于这些小组，前职业获奖者(来自IIS、CNS和CCF)将自愿将他们过去的职业建议作为“案例研究”进行讨论。这个职业研讨会聚集了100多名初级教员，其中约15%来自为代表不足的群体提供服务的学校(例如HSBU和MSI)。这样的研讨会填补了一个重要的空白；许多初级教员与NSF几乎没有个人互动。因此，除了议程之外，研讨会还为这些年轻的研究人员提供了与NSF领导层和CEISE社区的同事建立联系的机会。研讨会的学术价值源于演讲，让与会者深入了解潜在变革性研究的例子，以及职业如何在塑造该领域中发挥关键作用。便利的地理位置突显了研讨会的广泛影响；德雷克塞尔的校区位于费城，各种交通工具都很容易到达，而且在该市方圆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.
