2013 NSF CISE CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop

美国国家科学基金会职业奖励计划通过识别、培养、培养和支持美国最有前途和最有创造力的青年教师，在美国的创新研究和教育中发挥着关键作用。除了职业项目的邀请之外，大多数初级教师通常很少接触国家科学基金会，更不用说与项目主管互动了。许多年轻教授也没有撰写成功的拨款提案的经验。这个为期一天的职业计划书写作工作坊将在阿灵顿的德克萨斯大学举行，其目标是填补这一空白。本次研讨会不仅向青年教师介绍了CAREER项目，还为他们提供了与CISE项目主任、前项目主任和最近的获奖者进行交流的独特机会。工作坊的主要活动包括提案写作简报、经验分享、模拟小组讨论及提案写作诊所。研讨会向包括HBCU/MEI在内的美国国立大学的参与者开放。事实上，我们努力让HBCU/MEI的初级教师参与到CAREER proposal写作实践中，帮助他们在前沿研究和教育方面取得更大的成功，从而将他们的整体研究能力提升到具有竞争力的水平。总的来说，这次研讨会将成为青年教师在学术生涯中取得成功的宝贵经验。通过优先考虑来自代表性不足群体的参与者，预计讲习班将对社会产生切实的影响。计划将主要演讲和讲习班材料存档并供下载，以扩大讲习班在为期一天的活动之外的更广泛影响。

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.
