2013 NSF CISE CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop

NSF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具创造力的初级教师，在美国的创新研究和教育中发挥着关键作用。除了职业项目征集之外，大多数初级教员通常对NSF几乎没有接触，更不用说与项目主管的互动了。许多年轻教授也没有撰写成功的拨款申请的经验。这一为期一天的职业计划书写作研讨会将在德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校举行，旨在填补这一空白。这个工作坊不仅向年轻教员介绍职业计划，还为他们提供了与CEISE计划主任、前计划主任和最近获奖者建立网络的独特机会。工作坊的主要活动包括提案撰写、经验分享、模拟小组讨论和提案撰写诊所。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，HBCU/MEI初级教员已做出重大努力，让他们参与职业计划书的撰写实践，并帮助他们在尖端研究和教育方面变得更加成功，从而将他们的整体研究能力提高到具有竞争力的水平。总体而言，随着初级教员在学术生涯中取得成功，研讨会有望成为他们的宝贵经验。通过优先考虑代表人数不足的群体的参与者，讲习班预计将对社会产生切实的影响。计划将重要的演讲和研讨会材料存档并供下载，从而将研讨会的影响扩大到为期一天的活动之外。

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.
