This award to the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez will enable early career faculty to travel to Arlington to meet with program directors at the National Science Foundation and other agencies. The intellectual merit of this project lies in its ability to enhance the research activities of early career faculty via meetings to discuss their research areas and specific funding opportunities. By speaking directly with program directors about their proposed research, faculty can engage in deep discussion about research areas and activities, receiving feedback that will help them submit successful proposals and produce more impactful outcomes. The broader impact of this award is in its ability to support a population that is historically under-represented in engineering. The faculty are of Hispanic heritage and have positions at institutions that are Hispanic serving. Supporting the faculty efforts to successfully compete for research funds and generate more effective outcomes will directly benefit the graduate and undergraduate student populations at their institutions.

这一奖项授予波多黎各大学马亚吉兹分校，将使职业生涯早期的教师能够前往阿灵顿与国家科学基金会和其他机构的项目主任会面。这个项目的学术价值在于它能够通过会议讨论他们的研究领域和具体的资助机会来加强早期职业教师的研究活动。通过直接与项目主任讨论他们提出的研究，教师可以就研究领域和活动进行深入讨论，获得反馈，帮助他们提交成功的建议并产生更有影响力的结果。该奖项更广泛的影响是，它有能力支持在工程领域历来代表性不足的人群。这些教职员工都有拉美裔血统，并在为拉美裔服务的机构中担任职务。支持教员努力成功地竞争研究资金并产生更有效的结果，将直接使他们所在机构的研究生和本科生群体受益。
