2013 NSF CISE CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop

NSF CAREER奖励计划通过识别，培养，培养和支持美国最有前途和创造力的初级教师，在美国的创新研究和教育中发挥着关键作用。除了职业生涯计划征集，大多数初级教师通常很少接触NSF，更不用说与项目主任的互动。许多年轻教授也没有撰写成功的资助申请书的经验。在德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校举办的为期一天的职业建议写作研讨会的目的就是填补这一空白。这个研讨会不仅介绍了年轻的教师的职业生涯计划，但也给他们独特的机会与CISE项目总监，前项目总监和最近的获奖者网络。工作坊的主要活动包括建议书撰写讲座、经验分享、模拟小组讨论及建议书撰写诊所。该研讨会对来自美国国立大学的参与者开放，包括HBCU/MEI。事实上，作出了重大努力，让HBCU/MEI初级教师参与职业生涯的建议书写作实践，并帮助他们在前沿研究和教育方面取得更大的成功，从而提高他们的整体研究能力，使其具有竞争力。总的来说，研讨会预计将是一个宝贵的经验，为初级教师，因为他们成为成功的学术生涯。通过优先考虑代表性不足的群体的参与者，预计讲习班将对社会产生切实的影响。计划将主要发言和讲习班材料存档，供下载，使讲习班的影响超出为期一天的活动。

The NSF CAREER awards program serves a critical role in innovative research and education in the United States by identifying, fostering, nurturing and supporting the nation's most promising and creative junior faculty. Beyond the CAREER program solicitation, the majority of junior faculty members usually have little exposure to NSF, let alone interactions with program directors. Many young professors also have no experience in writing successful grant proposals. The goal of this one-day CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop to be held at the University of Texas at Arlington is aimed to fill this gap. This workshop not only introduces young faculty to the CAREER program but also gives them unique opportunities to network with CISE program directors, former program directors and recent awardees. Major activities of the workshop include presentations on proposal writing, experience sharing, mock panels, and proposal writing clinic. The workshop is open to participants from U.S. national universities including HBCU/MEI. Indeed, significant effort is made to involve HBCU/MEI junior faculty into CAREER proposal writing practice, and helps them to become more successful in cutting-edge research and education, thus enhancing their overall research capability to a competitive level. Overall, the workshop is expected to be an invaluable experience for junior faculty as they become successful in their academic careers. By giving priority to participants from under-represented groups, the workshop is expected to make tangible impact to the society. Key presentations and workshop materials are planed to be archived and to be available for download, extending the broader impact of the workshop beyond the one-day event.
