Condensed Matter Physics 2016 Principal Investigator Workshop

该项目将支持NSF材料研究部内凝聚态物理计划的主要研究人员（PI）的研讨会。研讨会将于2016年5月底或6月初在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行，将为PI提供一个与彼此和项目官员互动的场所，并获得有关更广泛影响的最佳实践的宝贵信息，这是NSF奖项赠款评估标准的重要组成部分。更广泛的影响涵盖了NSF资助的研究的社会效益，最近的一次基金会范围的会议重点关注了包括NSF奖项更广泛影响的各种活动。这些措施包括培养训练有素的STEM劳动力，对其他领域的影响，各级学生的教育以及对公众的宣传。该讲习班将侧重于发展赠款的有效和广泛影响，这些领域的最佳做法以及在PI之间和与公众进行有效沟通的方法。该研讨会将有助于建立一个知识更渊博、更成熟和更成功的CMP社区。

This project will support a workshop for Principal Investigators (PI's) in the Condensed Matter Physics Program within the NSF Division of Materials Research. The workshop will be held in Arlington, VA in late May or early June 2016 and will provide PI's with a venue to interact with each other and program officers and to gain valuable information on best practices for broader impacts which are an important component of the grant evaluation criteria for NSF awards. Broader Impacts cover the societal benefits of NSF funded research and a foundation wide conference recently focused on the various activities that comprise the broader impacts of an NSF award. These include the development of a trained STEM workforce, impact on other fields, education of students at all levels and outreach to the public. This workshop will focus on the development of effective broader impacts for grants, best practices in these areas and methods to develop effective communication among PI's and with the general public. This workshop will help to create a more knowledgeable, sophisticated and successful CMP community.
