Meeting: Plant Biology 2015 PUI Networking Workshop; July 25, 2015, Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, MN

从研究密集型环境过渡到以本科生为主的机构(PUI)，如小型文理学院，可能会使科学家难以与更广泛的科学界保持联系，而ASPB是这些联系的重要资源。这一年度会议前的扩展研讨会旨在加强PUI科学家在全国会议上的参与，并向他们介绍研究资源和机会，帮助他们全年与更广泛的植物生物学研究社区建立联系。这些联系对于寻求建立和维持成功的研究计划的PUI科学家来说至关重要。第二个目标是帮助研究生和博士后更多地了解人们对PPI成功职业生涯的期望，以便他们更好地为进入就业市场做好准备。美国植物生物学家协会(ASPB)在支持各种科学家的职业发展机会方面处于领先地位。为了促进现有和未来教师主要在本科机构(PUI)的研究参与，ASPB将在2015年7月在明尼阿波利斯举行的年度会议(PB2015)之前提供一个延长的研讨会。该研讨会旨在帮助现有教员分享在本科生环境下进行研究的实验设计、协作、拨款撰写和时间管理方面的最佳实践。大量的全国性研究表明，本科生研究有助于智力发展和为科学事业做准备。PUI的教职员工经常被排除在研究密集型学校丰富的研究环境之外，他们需要通过ASPB等协会建立联系，以开发和维持强大的研究项目。这个工作坊将帮助PUI的教职员工建立可以通过在线ASPB社区的全年网络机会保持的联系。这一奖项将有助于招聘最需要与更广泛的植物生物学研究社区联系起来的PUI教师，以帮助他们更好地让他们所在机构的本科生参与研究。研讨会还将使研究生和博士后助理接触到在PPI规划研究生涯所需的资源。参加年会和参加研讨会给许多没有广泛研究支持的PUI教职员工带来了经济困难。为了抵消这一困难，并鼓励尚未获得研究支持的教职员工出勤，这项提议将允许为需要帮助的参与者提供旅行奖励。

The transition from a research-intensive environment to a Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) such as a small liberal arts college can make it difficult for scientists to maintain connections with the broader science community, and ASPB is an important resource for those connections. This pre-annual meeting extended workshop is designed to enhance the participation of PUI scientists at the national meeting and to introduce them to research resources and opportunities that will help them connect to the broader plant biology research community year round. These connections are critical for PUI scientists seeking to build and maintain successful research programs. A second goal is to help graduate students and postdocs become more acquainted with the expectations for a successful career at a PUI so that they are better prepared to enter the job market.The American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) is a leader in supporting career development opportunities for a wide variety of scientists. In an effort to boost research engagement at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) for current and prospective faculty, ASPB is offering an extended workshop prior to the annual meeting (PB2015) in Minneapolis, MN in July 2015. The workshop is designed to help current faculty share best practices in experimental design, collaboration, grant writing, and time management for conducting research in the undergraduate setting. Numerous national studies have shown that undergraduate research promotes intellectual development and preparation for science careers. PUI faculty are often removed from the rich research environment of research-intensive schools and need connections through societies, such as ASPB, to develop and maintain robust research programs. This workshop will help PUI faculty develop connections that can be maintained through year-round networking opportunities in the online ASPB community. This award will facilitate recruitment of PUI faculty that most need assistance connecting with the broader plant biology research community to help them better engage the undergraduates at their institutions in research. The workshop will also expose graduate students and postdoctoral associates to resources needed for planning a research career at a PUI. Travel to the annual meeting and attendance at the workshop poses a financial hardship to many PUI faculty members without extensive researchsupport. To offset this hardship and encourage attendance among faculty who do not already have research support, this proposal will allow travel awards for participants who need assistance.
