2016 NSF CISE CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop

教师早期职业发展（Career）基金是美国国家科学基金会（NSF）最负盛名的奖项，授予杰出的终身教职员工，以支持他们杰出的研究和教育活动。本提案拟于2016年4月4日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举办2016年NSF CISE CAREER proposal Writing Workshop。预计将有200名青年教师参加本次研讨会，其中包括来自HBCU/MEI和代表性不足群体的相当一部分与会者。在他们学术生涯的早期阶段，许多初级教师缺乏撰写拨款申请的经验，这可能导致他们的研究和教育活动的陈述不令人满意。为了解决这个问题，这个研讨会将允许初级教师通过与最近的CISE CAREER获奖者和NSF项目主任的一系列互动活动相结合来获得第一手经验。为期一天的研讨会将包括CISE CAREER招标的介绍，最近的CAREER获奖者的演讲，模拟小组，以及与NSF项目经理的具体项目讨论。与NSF项目经理互动的机会将对初级教师在制定有竞争力的职业建议方面很有价值。该研讨会向美国大学和学院中所有符合职业资格的nsf支持学科的主要研究人员开放。cise相关学科的初级教师优先考虑。预计将有大约200名初级教师参加。将向HBCU/MEI的初级教师和包括女性在内的代表性不足的群体提供一些奖学金。这将为这些教师参加研讨会提供必要的旅费支持。最近的CISE CAREER获奖者的演讲将在网上播出，幻灯片和视频将在研讨会网站上提供给其他可能无法亲自参加研讨会的教师。这将确保研讨会在CISE社区的初级教师中产生更广泛的影响。通过参加研讨会，青年教师将更好地了解NSF CAREER项目，并从CAREER获奖者和NSF项目经理那里获得宝贵的见解。模拟小组和特定项目的分组会议也将为初级教师提供建设性的反馈。该研讨会将帮助cise相关学科的初级教师在他们的大学开展出色的研究和教育活动，并撰写有竞争力的职业建议。

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant is the NSF's most prestigious award bestowed on outstanding tenure-track faculty members to support their exceptional research and educational activities. This proposal proposes to organize the 2016 NSF CISE CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop in Arlington, VA on April 4, 2016. It is expected that 200 junior faculty will attend this workshop, including a significant portion of attendees from HBCU/MEI and under-represented groups. At the early stage of their academic careers, many junior faculty have lacked grant-writing experience, which could lead to an unsatisfactory presentation of their research and education activities. To address this problem, this workshop will allow junior faculty to obtain first-hand experiences through the combination of a number of interactive activities with recent CISE CAREER awardees and NSF program directors.The one-day workshop will consist of the presentations on CISE CAREER solicitation, talks given by recent CAREER awardees, mock panels, as well as program-specific discussions with NSF program managers. The opportunities to interact with NSF program managers will be valuable to junior faculty in developing competitive CAREER proposals.The workshop is open to all CAREER-eligible principal investigators in NSF-supported disciplines at U.S. universities and colleges. Preferences will be given to junior faculty in CISE-related disciplines. About 200 junior faculty are expected to attend. A number of fellowships will be given to junior faculty from HBCU/MEI and under-represented groups, including women. This will provide necessary travel support for those faculty to attend the workshop. The presentations by recent CISE CAREER awardees will be podcasted online and the slides and videos will be available on the workshop website for other faculty who might not be able to attend the workshop in person. This will ensure the workshop to achieve a broader impact among junior faculty within the CISE community.By attending the workshop, junior faculty will have a better understanding of the NSF CAREER program and obtain valuable insights from the CAREER awardees and NSF program managers. The mock panel and program-specific breakout sessions will also provide constructive feedback to junior faculty. This workshop will help prepare junior faculty in CISE-related disciplines to develop outstanding research and education activities at their universities and write competitive CAREER proposals.
