2012 NSF CISE CAREER Workshop

为期一天的CISE赞助的职业研讨会与所有三个CISE部门的参与将于2012年3月30日在德雷克塞尔大学举行。 该议程包括NSF领导和前职业获奖者谁分别发言的目标和个人经验与该计划。 议程还包括模拟审查小组。 这为与会者提供了NSF审查过程的第一手经验，并有助于他们理解评估标准，如知识价值，更广泛的影响以及研究和教育的整合。 对于这些小组，前CAREER获奖者（来自IIS，CNS和CCF）将自愿将他们过去的CAREER提案作为“案例研究”进行讨论。 这个职业研讨会聚集了100多名初级教师，其中约15%来自服务于代表性不足的群体（如HSBU和MSI）的学校。 这样的研讨会填补了一个重要的空白;许多初级教师很少或根本没有与NSF的个人互动。 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。 研讨会的知识价值源于演讲，让与会者深入了解潜在的变革性研究的例子，以及职业生涯如何在塑造该领域中发挥关键作用。 该研讨会的更广泛的影响是强调了一个方便的位置;德雷克塞尔的校园设在费城，是很容易通过各种形式的交通工具，并在300英里半径的城市，有100多个博士-授予大学。

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.
