Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop

新教师经常发现撰写他们的第一份拨款申请的过程相当具有挑战性。波士顿大学的马利卡·杰弗里斯-埃尔教授和伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的杰弗里·摩尔教授正在组织一个研讨会，旨在澄清提案的写作和审查过程，并为新教员提供职位，让他们向联邦资助机构提交更具竞争力的提案。参加者有机会与成功的奖助金接受者和计划官员建立联系。他们参加模拟小组、快速指导课程和其他旨在让他们更好地理解如何制定雄心勃勃但又切合实际的研究计划的活动。更广泛的影响也讨论了教育活动，推广和应用的社会问题。该研讨会由化学学部支持，名为“化学早期职业研究者研讨会”，将于2016年3月10日至12日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。本次研讨会汇集了来自广泛机构和人口统计学的100名初级教师，讨论战略性地制定研究想法，规划教育和推广活动以及评估和评估项目目标的步骤。

Newer faculty often find the process of writing their first grant proposals to be quite challenging. Professors Malika Jeffries-EL of Boston University and Jeffrey Moore of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are organizing a workshop that seeks to clarify that proposal writing and reviewing processes and position newer faculty to write more competitive proposals to federal funding agencies. Participants have the opportunity to network with successful grant recipients and program officers. They engage in mock panels, speed coaching sessions, and other activities designed to provide them with a better understanding of how to put together a research plan that is ambitious yet practical. Broader impacts are also discussed in terms are educational activities, outreach and applications to societal problems. The workshop, supported by the Division of Chemistry, is entitled, "Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop," will be held on March 10-12, 2016 in Arlington, Virginia. This workshop brings together 100 junior faculty from a broad range of institutions and demographics to discuss steps in strategically crafting research ideas, planning educational and outreach activities, and assessing and evaluating project aims.
